• I’m free! My last day was Friday and I’ve had a lovely weekend, I’ve also had an other offer of work. It’s just a few hours a week teaching corporate English to an Austrian bank manager. It’ll help keep the wolf from the door at least.

  
  

  I’ve now got three weeks to really start working on the plans for the business – I just couldn’t get down to it after a busy stressful week at work. Finding premises is the big problem though. There just don’t seem to be that many premises to let with the kind of planning consent I need. At leat I’ll have the time to really check things out.

  
  

  Fell off the Atkins bandwagon big time on Friday night. I had ten or twelve vodka and diet coke’s in various bars in Hurst Street (B’hams gay village). It wasn’t so much the Vodka but the chocolate I ate on the 6.30am bus home!! Weighed myself yesterday and I still managed to lose 3 pounds so that makes it three stone (20+ kilos??) in two months or so! I find that I’m now losing weight that I have been carrying for years and years, going back to a time when I didn’t consider myself THAT fat. It is exciting to see an old/new me appearing through the new/old me – if that makes any sense at all!!

  
  

  It’s funny though how people treat you differently when you have lost weight isn’t it? I find that I am suddenly more attractive to a lot more people than I was the last time I went out on the gay scene. People are so shallow aren’t they!? Part of me thinks it isn’t the weight loss though, it’s the confidence that weight loss brings to those who lack confidence ordinarily. Some of the sexiest people I’ve met have been overweight but they have been REALLY confident.

  
  

  Bank holiday today – why does it always rain on bank holidays???
