Had to weigh a parcel just now that was too big to fit on my kitchen scales. So I stepped on my bathroom scales with and without the parcel to calculate the weight.

Unfortunately I now weigh 73.0 kg. On 6th March my weight was 71.7 kg so I've put on 1.3 kg in almost exactly a month :-(
I thought I was being moderately frugal too. So now my BMI is 25.2, just inside the NHS overweight category.

It seems a lot of weight gain for one month, did I misread the scales before, was the battery low? Anyway, 73 kg is too much, time to cut down portions again, no more adding a cinnamon bun to my IKEA breakfast.

I read somewhere that teenage boys were developing enlarged breasts and that the cause was tracked down to body lotions and such that contain lavender oil or tea tree oil.

So I've bought a little bottle of lavender oil and diluted it with baby oil which I will rub on. I don't really believe it will work, it appears that the effect was noticed in pre-pubertal development after all and I'm rather a long way past that.

But I like the smell and if it does work it will be a nice side effect.
