A new beginning

Wow I cannot believe it has been nearly two years since I posted on here, I can’t believe I have spent so long faffing about making excuses to myself and everyone else when I should have been concentrating on important stuff like my health. It is so easy to fall into the trap of convincing yourself that you’re still on a diet when truth be told you are eating more crap then you ever did.

The past two weeks has been a bit of a roller coaster emotionally, I signed up to a new Doctor after not seeing one for six years which meant me having a full medical. The first lot of tests were a bit worrying but then I was told everything was clear.  Had some blood tests and after waiting a week was told the Doc needed to see me, my mind goes into over drive and I spend 36 hours getting all worked up thinking the worst.

Anyway to cut a long story short (as I am sure you are bored by now) it turns out I am diabetic which ok is bad, I understand that but compared to some of things I was thinking it was actually quite a relief. Luckily my new surgery is a lot more supportive then my old one and in the space of two days I have all my meds sorted, a diabetic review planned, a new place to be weighed every two weeks and even a health trainer who looks about twelve but certainly knows his stuff.

So all of this has lead me back here, a blog I started to record my journey to health and hopefully happiness. I am feeling more positive now then I have done in a long time so fingers crossed and with the support of the friends I have around me this time I won’t piss about and waste the time feeling sorry for myself.

The good news is even though I have not stuck to the diet that well I have not put any more weight on and am now seven stone lighter then the day I started which everyone tells me is great even though I can’t see it myself (unless you are one of us fatties you probably won’t understand that).

I guess that’s it for now, I shall be updating daily but if I don’t you have permission to give me a good kick up the arse!

Well this is a little bit about me I guess. I am 36 and come from sunny Wolverhampton which is in the West Midlands, England. I am a single nerd and gadget freak who spends way too much time on the net. This is probably the third blog I have set up but this time it might actually get some use I am going to use it to plot my journey to lose weight using the Cambridge Diet. Come back soon and see how I am going!
