Honest update...
I've done nothing since this last post! Well, I did a few
sessions that went ok, but then work got hectic, life got busy
and something had to give, and that was the 6am sessions.
I've suffered mentally recently, mid life crisis perhaps, or
just low mood, I'm not ultimately sure of an exact diagnosis. I
do know though that I've turned to food as my medicine, with my
eating old secret binge eating habits coming back to haunt me.
Body weight this morning was 111.9kg, which is not my worst, but
I certainly don't feel or look great.
I've been thinking about seeking some professional help in
regards to my eating addiction, but I've not got that far yet. I
told my wife about it, which was a small victory, and she is
supportive as always.
I'm in a bit of a vicious circle really, and have been all my
life I guess due to how I look (Obese) and how I feel, combined
with my eating habits of rarely feeling full, or being
satisfied. There are some psychological issues there no doubt.
Today I feel happy though, and can openly talk about this.

Hey buddy. Sorry to hear that you've been struggling... maybe
it's days like these when you are feeling good and reflective
that might be worth pursuing that professional help.... you
know, while you are honestly recognising you need it before you
fully fall off the wagon so to speak. It's never to early to
speak to someone.

I'm afraid you're going to have to detail some of these binges
you naughty little spider monkey.

It’s cliche I know but recognising the problem and accepting it
for what it is, is the first step bud.

Thanks chaps, the posts and support are appreciated.
I agree about striking while the iron is hot, and I certainly
feel a lot more positive about things at present. Strange really
though, as I've always had a huge appetite and I've always loved
eating... Even since a young kid, I'd always be the first at the
buffet table and would stay there till the food ran out, or I
was removed. I'm still like that now, but I just have better
skills.
I'm also getting an urge to train again, well, at least to lift
some things up. I'm so far back in my strength and conditioning
that it will be starting from scratch really.
I wonder if there is some hormonal stuff at play, perhaps Mr
Ghrelin is running riot, or Lady Leptin is upset with life...
Regardless, I need to control myself and stop the secret eating.
And Newcy, the secret eating binges were nothing too crazy, but
walking home from work via my local Asda, buying two big bags of
cadburys caramel cookies and 4 snickers, scoffing the lot in the
5 minute walk home, then going home and not telling anyone
before eating dinner is a usual example. That or stealing loads
of food from the work canteen and scoffing it... All eaten on my
own locked away like a filthy little piggy pervert. Quite
shameful really.

After a week away in Wales for my wedding anniversary, and then
a detour on the way home via Bristol on Sunday for the wife to
compete in a strong woman contest, I suspected the scales may
not be a positive reading...
Yesterday morning I weighed in with a PB of 115kg bang on. The
most I've weighed in about 5 to 6 years! #Athlete
This morning I weighed in at 112.5kg - #SpongeBob
That's about it update wise haha.

1 year mate. Seems longer mind haha.
She came joint 3rd, which considering she moved into the opens
weight class and didn't really train for the event, was actually
pretty good. She was giving away a lot of weight to some
competitors... A few proper big units in the comp!
She normally competes in the under 75kg class, and she was
sitting in the upper 70's, but didn't want the hassle of cutting
when away, along with the challenge of competing with stronger
athletes. She did really well.
It annoyed me though, because the comp was a really long day,
and it wasn't the best run comp either. Amateur strongman comps
really are a shambles, and shes now thinking about doing Olympic
weightlifting instead, as it's a different challenge and such a
well run style of lifting, with standard and quality comps. Time
will tell.
I certainly don't have any desire to compete again personally, I
just need to get my health in order really and hopefully a bit
of strength.

Only a year... bless. The novelty is still new and fresh LOL
To be at the lighter end of an opens class, mate, that's pretty
good. I do hear a lot about the ramshackle nature of most SM
(Strong 'Person') events. PL or OL might be a less stressful
route for sure. Some strong girls there also
