Eric McKing's Diet Blog - Week 12

Eric McKing has been on the Simple Slim Shake liquid diet for 12 weeks. Here's his latest blog entry:

I wanted a KFC, but it was my liquid fast day and KFC is a solid so I couldn’t. But then I saw an advert for their Big Daddy box meal on the side of a bus, so I took it as a sign to treat myself.

When I was waiting to order I thought of all the faces at the Simple Slim Shake meeting and how disappointed they would be when I told them I got a Big Daddy meal from KFC. So when the man asked me what I wanted I just asked if he could put a handful of the secret 11 herbs and spices mix into my milkshake flask. But the man laughed and then the other customers started to point and whisper things to each other, so I left.

I felt bad about going into KFC on my fast day so I told the wife when I got back. But she just carried on eating a Pot Noodle while watching Hollyoaks. In the ad break she asked for twenty pounds for a cab so she could take some stuff to her mothers. I gave her the money even though her mother only lives down the road.

I was still feeling guilty about going into KFC so I decided to go for a jog. But after I put on my jogging clothes it was raining and I didn’t like the idea of going for a jog in the rain, so I didn’t.

The wife asked why I was in my jogging gear, so I told her I was going to go for a jog but it was raining and I could slip over a break my ankle so I didn’t want to go. She laughed and said she’ll be so lucky, then left with a suitcase. I watched her from the bedroom window as she walked down to her mothers.

I ate her half finished pot noodle while watching a re-run of Top Gear on Dave. It was an old one and Jeremy Clarkson had a bit too much hair. I started to feel bad about eating the rest of the Pot Noodle and thought about the Simple Slim Shake members and my councilor I let down. Then I thought about the KFC Daddy Meal I could have had instead, so I decided to go out in the rain and get one anyway.

I gained two pounds.
