I wish I weighed what I weighed when I was 19:(.


I get so down about it. I think of so done offered me my figure or my health back I might opt to have my figure back. I KNOW that's a frightful admission revealing my vanity and vacuousness. But I think its the truth. The truth is of course, because the two are related if I had my figure back, it would mean they'd have fixed some of what was wrong with me anyway I guess.

I want to be the same weight as when I was 21, which was basically the right weight for me - not slim but not fat either.

There's a lot of diet between here and there

The good point is that I'm heading towards the point where weight loss becomes noticeable. It's depressing when a stone drop is the difference between 'god he's huge' and'god he's huge'

Trying to think back to what age we could dump and run, rather than stick around. Can't be far off.

Bet you get accosted and find yourself chatting rather than browsing in peace.

Annoyingly it is harpenden and DS is a little young to be Left although he would cope. We were 40 minutes late who h helps and so far only one trip and tears. Back to the ereader now

Tut - all this talk about waists, and I don't even have one at the moment. Or rather, it's the biggest part of me (-:

Isaac reckons my stomach feels like a balloon filled up with water. I was trying to explain to him that actually, it's pretty much exactly that! Not a poppyseed any more, he's probably about 40cm long and 1.2kg by now.

Does anybody like to help the OP on the house buying board anymore or is it just an opportunity to pick holes at what people say? Am bored, but not bored enough, clearly.

I am my ideal weight (if I was a foot taller). On another thread there's loads of people on this 5:2 diet. Not me yet but need to do it I reckon.

Fwiw my doctors are mixed. The dietician is dead set against it and feels I'm worsening my situation with it. However, on her plan I have gained significant weight and not felt significantly better to justify the pay off.


My new ( last year) rheumatologist approves of the plan but not the way most people do it (eating the calories as supper) . He feels most strongly people should eat the calories as breakfast or at least as two meals one as early in the days as possible.

My GI hasn't commented much but says he understands why I feel the need to do it. I suspect he is against it from a gastric point of view for me, but is trying to view the problem holistically.

Neurologist felt it couldn't hurt.

Endocrinologist felt it could help one of the more serious problems and make the other worse but wouldn't impact on PCOS at least, lol.

Cannot remember if I asked anyone else. But I think I got a pretty round view.


Ultimately, I live in my body and feel I know best what keeps me going on a day to day basis. Fasting really has ALWAYS suited me. Having started eating fruit/veg raw again slowly I had my first fast day last week. I felt amazing.. I hope to get back to a regular fasting regime fairly soon. I am aware that diving in too quickly after such a long pretty regular pattern ( which is unusual for me) would be a shock to my system, so I'm just being a bit cautious. Il am NOT prepared to do anything that sees me needing to see doctors this summer

Humph - no fun trying to irritate people who prove immune to the irritation (-:

If it makes you feel any better, I'm now having to study with a mild hangover.

OH's plane, which is older than either of us (from 1976) looks like a cold-war film submarine inside, to me.

That's something that never ceases to amaze me.

When I was learning in the early 90's, the planes we flew were mostly produced in the early 60's..... But designed in the late 50's.

And they still had really primitive avionics, usually the original ones with just a few concessions to modern technology.

Plenty of those planes still flying today, in the same condition too, and indeed still widely used for primary training or recreational pilots bimbling around on a Sunday afternoon.

But there has been such a big change in the last decade, after 60+ years of very little change, in terms of new technology being widely adopted and installed across the general aviation fleet.

Particularly in planes used for actually going places, rather than just flying around the circuit, or those used for commercial/instrument training.

Coming back to this after so long away, and trying to get back up to speed with the theory and regs, and get current with the flying, and convert licenses, and master new technology, is turning out to be a fair bit harder and more time consuming than I'd hoped it would be.
