"That's impossible!" said my colleague. "Ten kilos in three months? That's . . ."
"Don't say it!"
I put my hands over my ears, but he continued anyway.
"That's 100 grams a day."

I groaned. He was right. Somehow, I'd put on 100 grams a day, every day, for the past three months. That was the equivalent of two chocolate bars daily.

No, who was I kidding? It was two chocolate bars daily. Probably with some help from those cinnamon rolls for elevenses. Ten kilos. Oh, boy.
