I don't enjoy it any more , I go out drinking socially once or twice a week but I feel that rough the next day I can't say I'm enjoying it.

I daren't get on any scales, I think it'll be something close to 20st

4lb of me is from an unrestricted diet heading for Christmas. My weight has generally been consistent (stubbornly you might say), in fact I weighed exactly the same back in early 2008 I have been around 20st 8lb - 21st 4lb all that time. I am and have always been an 'over eater' and a very occasional drinker (alcohol) so I can be confident it is essentially carbs that are my enemy as I like little sweet stuff I'm a sucker for savoury 'snacks'.

As I have previously said the only negative thing I am aware of (apart from social difficulties) of with my Asperger's is a complete absence of s 'full' signal when eating, I will literally eat until it comes out of my ears! I'm sure if I let myself I'd give Shaun a run for his money! So this whole challenge is to put an immovable road block in the way so I have to change my ways...

Today is much smaller portions, little carbs and low fat but I am stuck at my desk at the moment!

You sound the same as me, eat then think about food , I really do think it's genetic , if food is available you have to eat it because a famine is coming, the problem is the famine never comes and the supermarkets are full and open 24/7

My son is 21, 5' 11" and weighs 68kg , I'm sure we picked the wrong baby up at the hospital because even when I was 21 I was nowhere near that.

Newton I assume you're going to be trying a full day in a canoe before you set off, I ache if I'm in the van for more than 3 hours so I can imagine I'd need a crane to get me out of a canoe
 
Formulating the next 20 months training at the moment, the scale of this challenge is massive but not (quite) impossible. There will indeed be many hours and hours on end spent in kayaks during this time, the channel crossing is the real biggy. It would be a lot easier to start at Calais but where’s the fun in that!
