I think the trick was to get back in 'the Zone'. Everybody gets there at some point, the moment when they're going strong, losing the weight, feeling great about it and ignoring the cravings.

Nary a fruit or vegetable was seen all day (unless you count the slice of tomato on my bacon cheese-burger. No? Didn't think so). I went grocery shopping and bought all the healthy stuff on my list, then added to it a box of chocolates, a big-ass pack of biscuits, and a 100g bar of chocolate.

Resolutions:
Reach my (current) overall goal weight of 140lb.
Exercise at least 5 times a week
Eat 5 portions of fruit/veg a day
Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day
Try and stop snacking on junk (have fruit if I really must have a snack).

Now, this is partly due to the fact that before Christmas I wasn't eating carbs, so the addition of carbs back to my diet have caused a bit of a gain, this is also due to the fact that I have just been eating crap.
