I’ve been tempted several times to take a couple of pictures of myself at the current size to be able to compare if and when I have the operation… and survive it. However, until I know I’m going to have the op, for certain, I’m not inclined to do it. Why? Because right now it’s … More How’s about a few snaps?
On August 10th, in the post “What doesn’t kill you…”, I was saying I had to have patience about my weight loss, or lack of it because, after the first week or so of losing mainly water, your body needs to heal and adapt to the new diet regime and only *then* will steady loss … More One step forwards?
In the previous post “Making my way back”, I was saying I need to rethink my approach and adjust the way I’m dieting. To this end I’ve been investigating the new CSIRO diet plan. Basically, the CSIRO have released a new FastStart Diet based on their research findings (the CSIRO are a great bunch). It … More The CSIRO diet
I’ve been making my way along through the diet doing what I think is right, much as I’ve always done… which as we know from earlier attempts to diet, got me nowhere. Having not lost a gram these past two weeks, I think maybe I need to do yet another rethink. It occurs to me … More Making my way back
To begin, I have to go on a pre-op diet. As far as I know right now, this is mainly a liquid or puree based regime designed to cut as much fat from around my internal organs as possible to make it easier for the surgeon to operate. I won’t know the exact nature of … More What do I expect about the Op?
I was whining in the last post about the pain I experience when exercising, and in the post before about the lack of weight loss I’m experiencing… or not. While complaining seems to be my thing at the moment, not everyone is happy about the constant whine. To this end, one of my daughters sent … More What doesn’t kill you…
I lead a quite sedentary life. I sit at the computer most of the day because my hips and back can’t cope with the weight they carry and I really can’t walk far. Even at home when I try to do housework I can only move around for five to ten minutes before I have … More And now for a little exercise.
Back on July 30th, I was congratulating myself on having dropped to 153.3 kilos. I weighed today and had gained weight. According to the same scales, I’m 153,8 kilos. I really have no idea how this has happened. I’ve been restricting my calorie intake and making sure I have plenty of water to help metabolise … More Ok… something’s wrong!
Just a quickie today. I’m wondering if I can manage to follow a real ‘fast’. I already eat nothing between 8:00 pm and 8:00 am (i.e. 12 hours), but I’m wondering if I could extend it to lunchtime, which is around 1:00. (i.e. 18 hours). I’ve never done this before so could easily fail, tho … More And for my next trick…
I sound mostly positive, but I *have* had several problems I’m yet to fully deal with. One of them is that my family have been helping me by cooking for me. As lovely as this is from one perspective I *really* need to control my own calorie intake or I’ll just fall apart again. Oddly, … More Drawbacks
