Sad to say we lost our dog Benji last night after all. Much as we struggled to keep hi, in the end, we had to do our best for him and that best was to stop him suffering. He’s been at my side for years. When I moved from room to room he’d come with … More Goodbye Benji

Weight increased slightly to 139.80 kilos, probably because I ate a bucket load of Froyo and Yoghurt. I’ve always been an ’emotional eater’ and yesterday my old dog got a diagnosis that means he’ll likely have to be put to sleep on Saturday. We knew he had cancer in an anal gland some months back. … More Not so happy today.

Went off to bed at 9:30 but woke at 2:00 and that was my lot… 4.5 hours. I tried everything from meditating to listening to ‘relaxing sleep music’. Nothing worked. Finally gave up trying at 6:15 and got up. It was too early to start and I feel awful. I suppose I’ll have to go … More Again little sleep

Weight has gone down slightly to 140.00, which is an improvement, tho coming at the ‘cost’ of having a strange food day. I had more ‘banana shake’ this morning but I can’t say I enjoyed it much. Not sure what to do about that, maybe make a thin porridge instead? I’ll have a look in … More Sleep escapes me.

I’ve been a bit slack updating the page, but this is mainly because nothing is happening. Ok, that’s not quite true. What’s been happening is that I’ve just been plodding along doing the same thing, i.e. eating badly and not losing weight. I don’t expect to be losing masses, a kilo a day or some … More Sorry, been a bit slack!

Weight has been static for a few days, well, actually it went up and down a bit. Today, however, it seems there was a real loss down from 141.70, to 140.80… almost an entire kilo! That’s pleasing. Last night I made some creamed potatoes, literally with butter and cream, then blitzed. Really good! Had some … More Bouncy, bouncy

To be honest, at the moment there’s really little to write about, other than the day-to-day mechanics of the diet. For example, I think I’ve been eating food that was too solid, in too great a quantity, and certainly too fast! I made a kind of Fish Cake mix a couple of days back with … More What should I write?

Missed posting yesterday because life got a bit confusing. Went to see all the people in CoC I had appointments for. The Physio told me stuff I already knew. The Dietitian wasn’t perhaps as useful as she might have been but gave me a wealth of information to help sort out the diet moving forward. … More And on we go!

So, when I started this post, I was getting bored. Then my inability to resist temptation took over. In fact, I wasn’t ‘tempted’ as such, I actually went *looking* for chocolate and figured an Oreo finger would satisfy my ‘urge’ and the wafer would mean it wasn’t likely to cause any issues with my sleeve. … More Tedium Rules.
