Fat Club BCF style

Sharp intake of breath. I might be tempted to sell and buy a cheaper slimmer one rather than go into some financial arrangement and pay fat people.

I understand what you are saying, and in more normal circumstances I'd agree it's not a great way to raise capital. However, my circumstances seem make it a reasonable option despite the downsides - again, depending on exactly how much I might get. That is the crux for me. I'm not sure I want to go into greater detail, it's a very personal thing. I will try to find out what kind of percentage of the property value I might raise, but for now the thought that it is a possibility is enough if it motivates me to keep fit!

I'm not motivated enough to be weighing or measuring anything at all (yet).

But I am trying to see how I get on when trying to (1) consume less carbs, over the last two weeks. I cut a considerable number of carbs (pasta, rice, bread, potatoes) and (2) I stopped constantly taking painkillers (including weed/THC caps).

So I've had one (!) joint in the last fortnight, and that was because I was on my own on my birthday so I felt like cheerying myself up, causing me to polish off the remainder of the cupcakes (MAJOR no-carb FAIL )

The only thing I can say about the whole experience so far is that its been "real"

An interesting experiment, at which I have occasionally failed, but it makes me realise just how easy it is to improve what you eat instead of just going "this and mash", "this and pasta", "this and chips" (actually I am not a big fan of chips in general) or "this and rice" without even thinking about it.

I've not noticed a particular increase in energy or health giving properties, particularly as wiping out the painkillers (ibuprofen/paracetamol) has made me feel every bit of the year of my latest age - and more! - for the last two weeks.

Today (for example) I took a paracetamol for a bad headache, because I have to concentrate on this editing whic hI have avoided doing for 2 months now - but mostly if I have had a headache or some sort of joint pain, I have just risen up to meet it and cracked on without painkillers, and it disappears. Worst I've done is a bit of tiger balm on my feet or neck.

I decided I needed to know JUST HOW MUCH pain I was in, in reality.

So I am taking no particular pains to eat better, lose weight, exercise more, but what I am doing, is listening to what my body does when I attempt to change certain bad habits.

A side effect of this is that I decided to finish off the CBD honey, which I am still not sure I believe in its efficacy. BUT ... much like previous "experiments" with CBD, I do honestly think it has improved my powers of concentration. I am much more able to focus better when I have had yoghurt laced with CBD honey.

So there you go.
Even I eventually come round to the idea of being responsible for my own health.

Weirdly, that doesnt even bother me this week
(although next week it might, at which point I will come and bite your fingers off )
Could be because I am resigned to the fact that there is no bacon in the house
Or it could be that I had a decent full English yesterday for brunch.

Which (when I think about it) was also mostly carb free and I didnt even notice: the only carby thing I could spot was the toast and even that was brahn.

It was a dead posh place in Woolwich (the "new" Arsenal shopping centrey thing) ... and not a greasy spoon. Although my companion mentioned that a greasy spoon would have been just as good.

Nice mushroom, real tomato, grilled, poached eggs, bacon and a toulouse sausage. On brahn toast with no butter. I didn't ask for no butter, it just came that way. And the baked beans were some posh form of in-house 3-bean mix with a bit of smashed tomato.

Fucks sake, I enjoyed it without noticing

But i have a question:

Are chickpeas carbs?
I am thinking "legumes" but I am completely uncertain as to what they actually are any more.

Its been a good 35 years since I did nutrition at school and I've forgotten more than anybody thinks they can lecture me about.

Google says Carbs
Someone else says not carbs, but not protein either.
So I am having tuna with it to boost the protein, just in case
(*glares at Munterchops ... do not even SAY it*)

Fuck this, its getting complicated.
Its this kind of conundrum that will drive me back to bacon sandwiches.

The only thing I am still doing is not cutting out sugar, which of course I know, I know, is white death, but hell, we all have to die of something, right.

I've had no rice, no pasta, no toast, no sandwiches, no HAM AND CHEESE CROISSANT, no steak bakes ( ) . For two weeks. For me, this is remarkable behaviour.

Apart from my birthday which was a pizza and ice cream and cupcake day, I keep doing mental things like looking at the salad bar at work to see if there is the sultana and carrots stuff that I like, fucking weirdo.

Oh wait. I had tinned "ravioli" last night because I couldnt get the broccoli and french beans that I craved. It was fucking horrible. Even Robbie wouldn't eat it.

In the end, I think goals of ideal weight are futile. What then? Better to concentrate more on just steadily working to get a permanently healthy way of living established.

Also, anyone heard of/tried Huel?

It's a meal replacement vegan thing that looks a bit like vomit, like in the matrix.

My neighbour (not the little old Sikh lady) noticed today what I have been noticing myself lately, that I have started to "see" the bit of weight I have lost.

Which is enough to motivate me further.

Nobody else much has noticed, I don't think most people look at me critically like that any more, so it will be quite a few stone down the line before anybody REALLY notices

But I have, and that's what matters.
Still got a LONG way to go yet.

I spoke to nursey up the docs the other day and
as she had my records to hand I asked her to look them up.
To my surprise I found I now weigh less than I did in 2008 when I was 90Kg.

I noted down the weights as she read them off and can see how I'd steadily
gained weight over the years and reached 106.5Kg due to sloth and piggery.

'Its marathon not a sprint' as they say and currently in the 87-88Kg range
aiming for sub 85.
Will have a wee celebration when I get to 86.5Kg cos that will be the minus 20Kg
milestone, then back on the waggon.
