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

And here we go again. My insides finally functioning properly, and my weight is still way higher than it ought to be at 150.1 kilos but better than yesterday. I’m feeling *much* better than I’ve done for a couple of weeks and am even off to the shops for supplies. None are urgent as such … More Again?

So yesterday I made a real effort to stick to the diet again. And to a large extent, I did keep both calorie intake and bulk to a low level. Having done that, I really expected to have made serious inroads to the weight increase I noted from Friday. However… not only did that not … More Odd Readings?

Ok, did I eat sensibly yesterday? Well, of course, I didn’t. I ate almost anything I could get in my mouth. I started with the shake, then moved on to two eggs, baked beans and tomatoes. I can’t recall just what else I ate, but whatever it was, it was waaaay too much. In fact, … More Why Do I Bother?

I was intending to ‘go for it’ again… again. Didn’t work. I’m still sick as a pig so I’ve gone back to eating for a day or two to keep me functioning. I’m totally exhausted despite sleeping pretty well for days. People are telling me it’l last at least three weeks… maybe more. I’ll just … More Gave Up Again

Not literally ‘on a bike’ yet, that’ll have to wait a few months, but I *am* starting to recover properly and the weight is, again, moving in the right direction. Ok, a drop of 0.8 to 148.9 kilos isn’t massive, but better than it might be if I was still on the takeaway rubbish I … More Back On My Bike!

So been quiet in here for a few days. I’ve had Covid and I feel like crap. My weight has neither gone up nor down despite the amount of food I’ve eaten to keep my metabolism capable of fighting the illness. I’ve had anti-virals, painkillers, cough medicine… and it’s still affecting me. As is the … More Covid, Covid, All fall down

So I tell myself “Let’s get back to some serious dieting!”, and the first thing I do is have a Burger and Onion rings from Hungry Jacks for lunch… followed up by tacos that I’ve ordered for dinner. I’m telling myself this is the last day to do that. I’m starting to feel *much* better, … More Oh Good Grief

Ok, moving along. Last night I went to bed around 8:00 p.m. The daughter, lovely girl, seems to be coming down with something similar to my illness so went an hour earlier, but not before making sure I’d had dinner. I was actually feeling a bit better but I love being looked after so didn’t … More Still here!

Yesterday was mostly lost in a haze of pain and discomfort. My daughter was trying to work but the noise I was making squealing each time I tried to cough motivated her to go get me some Robitusson for a dry cough. By then every muscle in my abdomen had reacted to the pain by … More Still alive – for now!
