Total Life change..and shock to the system

[Onan The Barbarian]

I wish you all the best with your change of lifestyle, Bez... because that's what it will be... don't call it a diet cuz dieting makes you fat (just ask all those who've failed!).

I also had a health scare last year... and have lost three stones and 8" off my waist (so far)!  Our Practice Nurse put the fear of God into me... "stop living the way you are or you will die!"  :shock:   It's a bit of a leveller, isn't it?  :roll:

She suggested I cut down on my intake of alcohol... not that I was a particularly big drinker... just BIG!  So I gave it up completely... all I drink in pubs now is water!  I'm a real cheap date!  

I've found that water is the key... for me, anyway... I drink at least 2 litres a day... and can pee for England now!

We all know what we SHOULD be eating... chicken, fish, loads of vegetables, etc... but the 'bad' stuff is just so bloody nice, isn't it?

You CAN do it, Mate... and you'll find it's a LOT easier than you thought it would be too!  The satisfaction you'll get from taking all your old 'fat' clothes to a charity shop is amazing, never mind the buzz you'll get from buying a new pair of jeans (or whatever)... and taking them home WITHOUT trying them on, cuz you KNOW they'll fit!!    :lol:

Good luck... and have a Happy and Healthy New Year!  :D

well for what i drink its not worth changing - average 1 glass of whiskey a week..used to take 2 sugars in my tea/coffe - cut down to 1 and now have sweeteners (wife is diabetic)- if someone forgets and gives me 2 sugars its like syrup :x ..
