The visit to the doctor before the diet begins

Went to see Dr. J-V to get his sign off that he was happy for me to go on the diet. Cost me £38 for the signature and taking my blood pressure, I should be a doctor!

He mentioned he knew a couple of friends wh had used it and had worked well. His concern was that I needed to make a change for good otherwise the weight would just return. I know he is right, the issue being to reduce my alcohol intake. I am sure this would be a good thing for my health anyway.

Told J-V I was going to start on the 15th August, after my holiday. Guess this gives me a chance to get used to the idea!

Decided to have a little 'look' at the weight on the scales. Got the fright of my life, somewhere between 18 3/4 and 19 stone! More than 3/4 stone heavier than I have ever been...feeling depressed but glad I have decided to do something about it.

Make the best of the next 10 days or so, it's going to get tough soon....go to the pub!
