So, I was at the hospital today..

For the eye centre.

I have diabetes, yes, I'm a fat cunt, but not as fat as cashley haha. Anyway, I have Diabetic Maculopathy which was picked up at my annual eye screening.

Anyway, I have to go back on 22nd December as they needed to put the drops in and we drove over so they couldn't do it, as it makes your vision all funny and it is dangerous to drive.

So, I find out what the crack is just before Yule.

Good news is it's treatable.

Time for diet / lifestyle modifications?

My diet has changed, cut out most of the fried stuff and using the oven to cook most things now. And I'm walking a bit more than I used to, but overall, I've lost 25kg in weight since . Still some way to go, but at least it is in the right direction.

Great stuff on the weight loss boss! that's ace ! Hope things get better from here.

Thanks B, much appreciated.

Tomorrow is the day of Ragnarok.

I'll try and post what happens tomorrow, if the eye drops dissipates in time, usually it takes a few hours for my sight to not be as sensitive.

Well, I've gained 4 kgs, which is very disappointing and I need to lose that plus more or I'll lose my vision.

There is a change in my left eye, which they need to keep an eye, pun intended haha, on.

So, I'm going to get myself an exercise bike today and go back on the healthy dinners and cut most of the shite foods out (does crumpets count as a shite food?)

NAUGHTY CRUMPETS! LOOOOL!

Well dude here's some positive energy from the Borderlands to help you on your journey to healthyness!

Tis a battle of will power over crumpets ! haha

My regime of protein and peppers begins tomorrow also...... well ....natural fats, protein and greens to be exact....

Good luck !

Cheers B.

Crumpet resistance is futile.

It may sound obvious but, a good way to loose weight - or keep weight down if you're not doing regular moving/exercise...  is to simply stop eating.

Rather, to eat only when you are hungry. And smaller portions.

It's probably not the healthiest way to loose weight but, it will definitely lose you weight. Tried and tested by number of folks I know.

You just ask yourself:  Do you actually feel hungry enough to eat?  If not - you don't. Simple. Chewing gum is a good alternative. The rest is a matter of discipline and will power. If you can manage it, you should see differences by this method within 2-4 weeks.

A good plan could be small breakfast, no lunch, and healthy dinner. I've done that.  I have tried 1 small crumpet instead of breakfast and I am confident that it's better than a bowl of lactose mush, at least for me.

Certainly a better option than losing your eye!

As you saw, my mam died and I've had two of those snacksters BBQ rib things in 4 days. Other times I've had no urge to eat anything more.

Might be worth trying out a cross-trainer instead of a bike. That will move everything.

Out of interest, what does your weight gain have to do with losing vision? You said you need to lose more or you'll lose vision

Got no room for a cross trainer, otherwise I probably would have gotten one .

The doctor never explained it to me. In truth, he was a bit of an arrogant dick, who I hope I don't have to see again.

Gots a letter this morning about my pork pies.

It says that I have Bilateral mild non proliferative diabetic retinopathy and maculopathy in my left eye.

Makes no sense to me either. But it says I need to lose weight, which I knew and currently in process, and my blood pressure is significantly high.

I've been a naughty boy.

Put on another two kgs. Don't know how, as I've been eating healthier. Probably spending too long on the comp .

Anyway, I'm going to try a fruit diet and sort out a new, recumbent exercise bike, as the normal one hurts my botty after about 10 minutes.

Careful on the fruit sir. Lots of natural sugar. Only in the mornings and before exercise !

I'm a lucky twat (skinny rake) and have always stayed about the same no matter what i eat. Although i don't eat much shite!

haha you'd be shocked at how much I weigh!

Let's all guess! It's funny seeing the look on peoples faces when they meet me in real life....... I just know they are thinking "wow you're way ******** than you look on the web"

I never realised that. Something that all the 5 a day seem not to tell you. I'll stick to bananas and pears.

And a guessing game? I'm game.

kgs? lbs? stones?
