Long time, no update but nothing special's been happening overall.

I finally found someone who would take my weight problems seriously and I'm now on a medically controlled diet. So far, since 1 June, I've lost a stone and a half (for you 'mericans out there, a stone is 14 pounds). The whole diet is organised around blood results and personally tailored to each individual. It's quite restrictive, especially for a fussy eater like me BUT it's working and I feel better already. I've been really unhappy with my size for a long time but nothing seemed to work. My counsellor went through my previous eating habits and my blood results and said I shouldn't let anyone tell me that being greedy and over-eating was the cause of my weight. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth because, if anything, I was under-eating. I now have to eat 3 meals a day with no less than 5 hours between them and I mustn't eat less than 2 hours before going to bed.

The first week I stuck rigidly to the diet and lost 10 pounds. The second week was hectic with work and I was skipping meals all over the place. Results: only lost a pound and a half. Also, I'm apparently 'extemely carbohydrate sensitive' so I eat no bread, potatoes or pasta and although I miss my jacket potatoes, I don't really mind that much.

I hope in future that the treatment I receive from other people will improve, especially people I've never met before. I've noticed that, because I'm large, people also assume I'm stupid. It's almost as if anyone larger than Kate Moss can't possibly have intelligence as well :(

Anyway. Enough of that - if I haven't already sent you to sleep :lmao:

The news is full of the death of Michael Jackson at the moment. WHY? The man was (allegedly) a person who 'liked' children but managed to buy his way out of trouble. He had numerous operations to 'improve' his looks that led to him looking like a freak and he claimed vitiligo was the cause of his transformation from black to white. There's no doubting that he had musical talent but, to my mind, he was far from the genious he's being portrayed as being. Freddy Mercury was far more of a musical genious than Michael Jackson could ever have been. Just take a look at some of his music. I've tried playing some of the Queen songs and they're extremely complex and difficult. The same goes for trying to sing them. Of course, you'll manage just fine if you have perfect pitch and a 5-octave range, but most of us don't have either of those.

So, let MJ RIP and let the rest of us get on with life. BTW, I wonder whether they'll be wearing black or white at his funeral :rofl:

One final word - my sincerest apologies to all those who've added favourites or dropped in for a look-see and to whom I've made no response. I appreciate every one of you and I haven't deliberately been rude by not making any responses. I just haven't been able to :(

Take care, stay safe and shiny side down :D

I'm old, and getting older by the minute but I hope that age brings wisdom.

I do several jobs: During the week, when work is available, I'm a flight nurse. These days I stick mainly to intercontinental, short haul flights. I did mostly long-haul back in the 80s, but these days I'm more than happy to get home in the evenings, although the occasional overnight job is welcome.

Two nights a week, usually Monday and Tuesday, I work the night shift in the medical centre at Perkins Engines in Peterborough. They're part of the Caterpillar group and the factory staff are a great bunch to work with.

At weekends I provide medical cover, mostly for Motox riders, at an off-road activity part: WildTracks Ltd: [link] That's usually good for a laugh and fortunately, because the track's kept in quite a good condition, serious accidents have become less common.

Last year (2008) my husband and I celebrated our Silver Wedding Anniversary and I'd like to flip a big bird to the people, especially my mother-in-law, who said we'd never last a year :D

I have 2 children: Caitlin (20) and Ryan (19) who both make me very proud.

I have a sense of humour that's been described as 'quirky' and there's nothing I love more than a good laugh.

Thx for the :+fav: Tammy!

The more massive an object is, the more gravity it contains, which explains why it is harder to get ketchup out of the bigger glass ketchup bottles. More importantly it is also why a big screen tv collects more dust than a hoover.
=D thanks for the fave Tammy!
