In January I got the results of my “well man” blood tests. As I feared I have high cholestorol, not enough to warant going on statins, but enough to worry about. The Nurse also suggested I needed to lose half a stone (7 lbs), though I’m convinced that that was her misunderstanding just how heavy my winter clothes are (16 lbs all in).
So since then I’ve improved my diet to cut out the saturated fats – I’ve stoped eating my mars bar a day, I’ve cut back dramatically on biscuits and marshmallows, and I’ve pretty much said goodbye to chocolate! Sob! And with Sue’s help the rest of my diet is significantly better.
The result? I’ve been losing weight at the rate of about a pound a week. It got to the point where I don’t really want to lose much more weight, I’ve been below 10 stone now for two weeks and it’s still coming off! Sue has valiantly tried giving me more and more food to stuff in my face during the day, and it’s nice grazing away all the time. But it doesn’t seem to be stopping the weight loss!
Eeek! Your humble blogger is worried he’ll dissapear!
P.S. 9 st 12.5 lbs @ 5ft 7in
P.P.S. I bet you wish you had this problem!
