Well almost near. In five days’ time, I’ll either have been operated on or very close to being operated on. It’s scary, but I *hope* it’s for the best. The kids are supportive even though they think I’m making a grave irreversible error. I, of course, am hoping the opposite, but it’s nice to know … More And now the end is near…

Ok, I have *no* idea what’s going on with me. One day I’m ravenous, the next hardly hungry. Why? Who knows. Yesterday, for example, I had my morning shake, and then nothing until 1:30 or so when I went out with my wife to a local restaurant and had grilled Barramundi and salad before we … More And then Betterer!

Worse and worse. Instead of making the expected huge inroads with weight loss in this last month, things have gone awry. Over the past week, my weight has slowly risen from 148.6 kilos to 151.2 kilos. Clearly, I’ve been eating *way* too much but I can’t seem to stop myself. If I was still able … More And so it gets Worserer!

Ate too much. Put on more weight. Not a lot more to be said. So depressing. Keep positive. Try again. Don’t stop trying. You’ll get there. **STOP EATING**. Didn’t work… 😦

This is silly. I ate far less yesterday, tho drank more. I assumed I’d lose most of the moisture overnight and my weight would show a real drop. It didn’t. When I weighed it came in at 150.6 kilos… an increase of 0.5k. To say this was annoying is to put it mildly. I figured … More From sublime to ridiculous.

Weighed this morning and it seems I’ve increased my weight by a kilo to 149.9 kilos… which is ridiculous. Yesterday I decided I’d actually drink the amount I was told to, so worked my way through well over two litres, which you’d think might account for the increase, but why didn’t I lose most of … More I Need Help!

Was feeling a bit off the last day or two culminating in me entirely missing two day’s updates. I’ve not been feeling at all right but discussions with the family have made me realise I’m still not 100% over covid. After all, it’s only been a couple of weeks since I thought I was dying … More Lost a day.

Can’t say I’ve been perfect but yesterday I *did* try. I had the shake, a small salad for lunch, and some curry in the evening followed by a small wrap and an apple. My weight dropped a little to 148.3 kilos, but I still don’t feel I’m moving properly in the right direction. I’m hoping … More Still trying.

Yes, the operation is scary, but that’s not the problem. What’s wrong is that I’ve somehow got entirely “off the boil” and I’m finding it harder each day to keep my food intake down to the level it’s supposed to be. In fact, I’ve all bar abandoned any pretence that I’m following the diet. Whatever … More It’s Really Scary
