I wasn't going to do a big wibble but looking at those graphs I've just realised something. I'm fairly happy with my weight and the shape I am these days: I do want to lose the last half a stone, but I know I'm (just) a healthy weight now and I'm getting into nice clothes and not looking too bulgy in them and things like that. You can see from how nearly flat the last 4 months have been that this is definitely making me complacent. No way am I trying so hard as I used to be: and I keep having a good week, then cheating a bit the next week, then having another good one to make up. This'll be perfect once I actually *reach* my target, because at that point I'll *want* to stay more or less the same. However at the moment I've just realised that I'm beginning to look a lot like some of the other women in the class who've been within about this close to their target for *a year* now and keep faffing about up and down a bit. I *don't* want to turn into one of them, and that means I do have to take it seriously for a while, and just get this last half stone over with dammit. And then it'll stop costing me money at least, and I can relax about it and not feel cross at myself over it.

I really don't want to get into that situation either - I got stuck for four months over last summer during the Job From Hell(tm) and got really depressed by it. I'm going to really put some effort in this week since if I can manage to lose three that's my next half-stone award *crosses fingers* :)
