New version of the same song, and in IMO it certainly is a great song and one of the defining songs in the Brit Synth movement of the late 70's, early 80's.

My problem is not that I don't know what I should be eating, as I mentioned I've followed many diets and have been to see dieticians. I understand that moderation is required and what healthy choices are. My problem is that I can't bring myself to do it ... again. I look at a pasta with a creamy sauce and go yuuuummm ... and I just want to eat it ... all .. because it tastes so damn good. Same with a pizza. Even if I'm full I just have to keep eating it. My brain is telling me to stop because I don't need to eat it, but I carry on because it tastes so good. I like good tasting food. The weight I lose usually takes a couple of years to come back, but it does come back. I like to tell myself it's because I've always been overweight, even as a kid .. but that is just an excuse I suppose. To give you an idea I weighed 65kg's when I was 13, 100kg's when I was 16. I need to get my head into the right space and make the change permanent ... So thanks for the advice and pointers, and the flames ... it's the food for thought that my brain requires

I am struggling with motivation to change my eating habits. I love food, and I love eating ... way to much. Over the years I have done so many different diets and eating plans and know what is required to lose weight but can't bring myself to follow any sensible eating plan. Over the last 20 years I have probably lost the equivalent in weight of another person, and put it all back on again. My heaviest being 120kg's and lightest 85kg's. I'm currently hovering around the 105-110kg mark. The most weight I lost at a time was 35kg's, going from 120kg's down to 85kg's in the space of about 6 months. My previous best was 23kg's going down from 110kg's to 87kg's in the space of 3 months. The last time I attempted a serious effort at losing weight I only managed 8kg's in the space of 4 months, stopping at 92kg's. I am fairly active riding around 90-100 minutes with an average heart rate around the 135bpm mark, 4 times a week, split over 2 sessions. This is done on my commute to and from work. I don't have any other time to exercise or even time to prepare nutritious/cheap meals as I have 2 kids, the youngest being 5 months old. My life is busy... So working up the motivation to eat healthy when only getting between 4 and 6 hours sleep a night is a struggle. I'm sure there are others in a similar position to me .... so how are you doing it ? I suppose I'm just looking for a pep talk to get my butt into gear to make a serious effort to get somewhere with a healthy lifestyle that I can maintain. The maintenance is the biggest problem for me. I can starve myself and lose weight, done that before, but that's not really a solution.

Decided to bite-the-bullet and go for the Premium option. Time will tell if it's money well spent, but the intention is there.

Went onto Endomondo this morning to check out my morning ride, and noticed that the web site has undergone a significant facelift. Interface is a lot more "swish" ... and works nicely. However they have also introduced a Premium (pay for) option to their site, which includes some of the stats that up to yesterday were freely available. I've been using the stats a lot over the last few weeks to have a gauge as to how my daily commutes to work have been improving, amongst other things. The $19.95 is not a lot of money for a yearly subscription .... just a little annoyed that I need to pay for something that was free. I'll probably pay the amount .. but still a little peeved.

Unicycles are a little easier to store. Used to have 3 Uni's, but sold my 29'er to buy a 29'er bike which I keep in the garage also on a hook.
