Let’s just say, that trying to find something to wear (that fits properly) has been challenging
All this going away – doing nothing- eating differently
Can be fun – BUT
Getting the pep talk ….again….from the GP is not good ‘I’m not saying you’re obese, maybe a little overweight’
So as well as a change in attitude, Santa is going to bring me – new runners, dumb bell weights, resistance rubber bands, a new pass for the pool plus determination and a bit of oomph to round it all off 😊😎
A new someone to do the meal planning and cooking would be nice but that’s the one thing I really do have to take personal responsibility for!

Good luck.
I turned to the 5:2 way of eating which seems to work for me. Indeed some of my trousers will only stay up with a belt.

I think a change of ‘eating’ attitude would be the way to go EC. I have heard good things about the way you’ve suggested so maybe I’ll look into it.
Lol you just reminded me of the Belts r Us franchise I saw in London years ago! A woman was buying one to do just that – hold up her trousers!

Try to find a ‘work-out partner’ Cathy. I find it helps to have one. Not so easy to make excuses that way! Good luck—it will be worth it!

Thanks for the encouragement Diane – no partners to be had in my circle. I’ll get there in the end!

While it did not make a huge difference, we began eating less for dinner when it was served on the table and not on a plate. You take a little and can always go back for more, but we found you tend not to. You were probably brought up to clean up everything on your plate, so maybe it is mind thing.

I’m cooking a smaller amount Andrew – almost to the point of…..3 beans each, 2 sprouts each, cut a carrot in half = 2 portions. It’s the cakes and pastries that will have to stop coming in the door. Yes, see food and eat 😊
