Yesterday I had a moment of weakness. I ate a block of chocolate because I felt that my efforts were in vain. My weight had not made any movement from last week, or at least that is how I felt since I did not remember what my weight was last week.

When I started recording my weight loss journey here 5 weeks ago it was intended to keep me honest. To hold me to account. This morning when I awoke I realised a second, and more important purpose of recording my weight each week. Motivation.

I realised that by the time the weekly recording of my weight happens, I cannot remember what I weighed the previous week. All I know is that sometime during the week my weight has been lower (lowest was 117.2kg this week) and that is what I measure myself on. So when I see it increase all I see is my progress slipping away. Yet the truth is that I am still losing weight and this diary proves it.

Whilst I only lost 500g this week it is still progress.
