Dealing with disappointment

For the last few weeks the bathroom scales have been being a bit dicey. One moment has been seven pounds heavier than the next. So, rightly, a new set of scales were bought. And they tell some nasty and uncomfortable truth.

I may not have lost two and a half stone yet. I might have done by the morning: but today I haven't.

I am gutted. I know its a bit pathetic- but its made me wonder if I can do this. I have been training and keeping most of the good eating.. but its all slowed. Its hard to even articulate what this has done to my head. BUT on the good front I haven't eaten chocolate to get over it.. nor have I starved myself.

Tomorrow I go back to my trainer and we work more on getting some weight off. I still have Easter as my target.. maybe more humbly than previously..

Your vocabulary aged 5 is half what it is for a rich kid if you are in the bottom ten percent of income. Housing tenure stats are even worse. "Only 4 per cent of those of working age living in social housing have degrees, and nearly half have no or only low qualifications. Only half of men and 42 per cent of women of working age living in social housing are in paid work, compared with 89 per cent of men and 81 per cent of women in households with a mortgage." Social housing: by its nature, is grouped (london people ignore this, you are the freaks not the norm). That means that we have allowed ghettoes of poverty and low attainment (not just in a SATS way either). Now it would be easy, and some daft Tory has already done it, to pin this on
