Over the last couple of months I’ve had an assessment followed by six cbt sessions with a counselor then moved to group sessions, last night was the second meeting. I kinda get what they’re on about but still find it very difficult to put into practice.

Nothing remotely rad or gnarr … Cally carpark to Loch Ordie, Loch Oisinneach Mor, Tulliemet, Ballinluig (cafe :wink: ), Dowally, Raor Lodge, Cally carpark.

Reminds me of the time a girlfriend got the tubes mixed up and applied Colgate instead of Canesten

The Colgate ‘Ring of Confidence’ :lol:

Zuffle :wink:

Natural xc trails
Long slow road rides

Got a 2013 Composite 3 on C2W. 5’9″ riding a medium

What’s come across is that the people involved have all ended up using food to compensate/mask other things in their lives that they can’t cope with or don’t feel in control of.

Weight loss isn’t so much about eating less and exercising more, it’s about removing the reason why you’re eating too much. The people who’ve had the biggest success are the ones who’ve faced their ‘demons’ and felt good about themselves as a result.

This.

I’ve had mild depression/low self esteem/social anxiety for a long time. I don’t drink, don’t smoke and never done recreational drugs but I do comfort eat. A lot.
Earlier this year I had a spell of feeling quite good, managed to cut out all the crap and lost 2 stones between february and june. Back to my usual mood now and put half a stone back on.
As above, I think with most overweight people there’s a whole lot more going on than simply greed.

Your son might also like the Rocking Stone near the top of the hill

Leuchars airshow on saturday
A road ride from outskirts of Dundee over Glenshee/Cairnwell to Braemar and back, 96 miles, on sunday

Are there numerous cases of people wearing a burqa/niqab committing robberies then? I assume that’s why there is the restriction on motorcycle helmets.

So every motorcyclist is to be treated like a potential robber? Kinda like treating all muslims as potential terrorists.

I’ve been asked many times to remove my motorbike helmet at petrol stations and wouldn’t dream of wearing it into a bank* or post office. I’ve yet to see anyone wearing a burka/niqab being checked.

*I did forget to take it off once and they locked the doors on me :oops:

I biked up Lucklaw hill (Balmullo) to watch last year. Ok view.

Me, yesterday morning cycling to work :roll:
Turning right at a junction and almost took out another cyclist while blinded by the low sun :oops:
SMIDSY!

I’ve had mine for 2 months, really happy with it.

A bit of progress here too. Had my first counselling appt last week after a 3 month wait. I’m to have a few 1-1 sessions then onto group sessions. Nervous about it but got to see it through this time.

Use a spoon!

Ooh, get you and your fancy ways :wink:

How comes all you guys know your exact weight

I know cos I’ve been trying to lose weight, 14st in Feb, 12st now :-)
Bit more to go.

5’9″ (175cm)
12st (76kg)

For me it’s not about training or Strava or anything competitive. Just days out on quiet country roads (Angus/Perthshire mostly), nice scenery, bit of exercise, cafe stops :D

I got a Defy Composite 3 last month through the cycle scheme at work. First proper road bike, loving it :-)

Defy Composite 3, wot I got last month through the cycle to work scheme

Link to the Michael Mosley thing about ‘non-responders’.

Started at 13-13 on 1st feb and now down to 11-12 :D Aiming for 11-7 and anything lower is a bonus.

I did 8-4 and 2-10 week about for 20+ years. I liked it, especially during winter cos I could get out cycling in the mornings in daylight.
