The first one
Winnienervous energy 4turning point
A gentle week, mostly. The leaflet is nine pages and about seven of them are worst cases. I have read it three times, which was three times too many, and I am now…
Beginning, badly
Kezwired energy 2
Nothing has happened yet, which nobody had warned me about. I think I expected to feel something immediately, and instead I made a cup of tea and put a wash on. Day…
Into town and back
Salmapleased energy 4
Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an idiot. Nobody saw. It counted. Full shift on my feet and my knees…
The first one
Poppywired energy 5turning point
Day one. I am writing this partly because somebody else's day-one entry is the reason I felt able to do it at all, and it seems only fair to leave one behind. Started…
First dose, done
Kezhopeful energy 3turning point
Ten minutes then I am asleep. I want to write this down before I forget how frightened I was, because I suspect in three months I will not believe it. Twenty minutes…
Two lines a day
Maryamorganised energy 4
Recording this for the record. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Batch…
Two lengths, badly
Devquietly delighted energy 4
Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an idiot. Nobody saw. It counted. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat.…
Steady
Doraflat energy 2
Three things this week. Steady. That is the whole entry. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my medication on the correct day for…
A wedding
Duncanwarm energy 1
Three things this week. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's.…
Steady
Patrickfine energy 1
Short one tonight. Steady. That is the whole entry. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I thought about how much I have got out of…
Day one

Nothing has happened yet, which nobody had warned me about. I think I expected to feel something immediately, and instead I made a cup of tea and put a wash on. Told…
Somebody new
Peggywarm energy 2
This week: Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land. Circle tonight. Eight of…

Somebody new
Marthasteadied energy 5turning point
A brief account of the week. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land. Joined…
Quiet
Rayfine energy 2
Right. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of the whole thing. I nearly…
Circle tonight
Hannahwarm energy 1
Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in…
Circle tonight
Priyawarm energy 4
Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were…
The list on the fridge
Poppysteady energy 2
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Protein first, everything else after. It is not…
Back without making it up
Katetired but good energy 3
Right. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Two sessions this week, both short, both…
Starters as a main
Kezloved energy 4
Quickly, before bed. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Starters as a main course, permanently.…
Standing in the kitchen
Pruewired energy 1turning point
I told one person. Not my mother, not work. One person, and only because she asked me a direct question at the right moment. A first entry structured like a…
Stayed for the company
Priyawarm energy 5turning point
Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Started the practice of collecting non-scale wins, which became the…
I nearly did not write
Samsteady energy 5
Recording this for the record. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I thought about how much I have got out of other people's boring…
She noticed first
Lenaheld energy 4
She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the whole mechanism. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I…
