The Rules

In the absence of a formal regime to structure my every food related thought, I will now come up with some rules. These are partly designed to assist me in maintaining my weight with my current level of physical activity, and partly to make me feel better about the copious amounts of food I have recently consumed.

Rule Number 1: If I decide to have a treat during the day, e.g. some champagne truffles from a rather posh chocolate shop, I will forgo having dinner that evening.
Note; The truffles that I saved for later are not counted as dinner as technically they are an extension of the treat. Ergo, truffles for dinner is acceptable.

Rule Number 2: I am only allowed one treat per week.
Note; a treat is defined by the feeling it arouses once completed. Therefore if one slice of pizza doesn't feel like I've treated myself, another slice or two may be necessary.

Rule Number 3: If at any point someone mentions that an item of clothing looks tight, or that my bum looks bigger than it was, I must immediately stop all treats and commence with a self-enforced regimental fat, sugar and salt free diet, as before.
Note; My exercise regime should also be upped to 6 times a week, with the addition of a severe beating of the 'someone' who told me I looked fat.

I believe that with these rules in place, I can't fail to maintain my svelte size 12 figure for a couple of months, after which I will be beginning another 12 Week Challenge.
