I was kind of dreading the doctors check up that your required before going on the lighterlife diet. This is because last year I had a check up at the doctors and she took my blood pressure 3 times and said it was very high for my age (I was 26 at the time). This was my final check up with this doctor as I was moving house so she just fobbed me off with a “get it checked at your new doctors”.
Obviously being a bloke I never did this and its been in the back of my mind ever since. Well I went today and my blood pressure was perfectly normal. I was well chuffed as I’d been worrying for the past 15 months about it. So that made my day. Well I got my form signed in the morning (£15 for a signature - nice work doc!) which meant I could go and meet my Lighterlife counseller in the afternoon for my foodpacks.
I got weighed (108kg/17stone eek!) and measured up. They measure you around your belly rather than under it so I was 45 inches around my waist! This was a definite shock to the system as I’ve never been over 36inches until pretty recently. Well I hope this thing works I want to fit in my 34 jeans again which I have promised myself I will. I got a few of the foodpacks (Chicken soup, Thai Chilli soup, Banana/Strawberry/Vanilla/Chocolate/Raspberry shakes) - so I’ve got them to look forward to tomorrow :(.
Tonight I am off for my final meal for some time and a few beers. I am going to really, really enjoy it.
