Leaving the US, after two years here, will not be without it's difficulties and there will be challenges in adjusting back to a non XXL life. I plan to use this page to document and plan, military style, my exit from the country and my integration back into UK life in September 2012. If you have any suggestions of milestones then please submit them down below in the comments!
Should be OK to carry on as normal this month. Loads of time yet before I have to start thinking about integration ...

Probably should start weening myself off Chick-fil-a ... I'm going to miss that juicy fried chicken; it's so much better than KFC. But then I do have Nando's to look forward to coming back into my diet ... swings and roundabouts.
August 2012 1 month to go
Time to ban having more than one soft drink with my lunch or dinner I think. Free refills are great over here, but I need to get that out of my system as it's a non-starter in the UK.
Should probably stop having ice in all my drinks too ...
September 2012 Goodbye America
Last few weeks in the country now ... should probably start sliding into my UK work attire so that the wearing of a necktie doesn't come as such a shock! Hopefully haven't put on too much weight that my top button won't choke when fastened. It's going to be like the first few weeks when I started here in September 2010: everyone thinking I'm odd because I'm suited up and wearing a suit!
