Officially stressed, according to the doc, since Tuesday last week I have eaten 2 slices of plain toast, a cheese sandwich and a scone, and those were a struggle.
Quit my job the other day, so that will help.
Maenan's not far down the valley!
You sir, have just done keto.So, I did nearly 2 weeks, and consumed fewer than 2000 calories.
Interesting "results" I lost a stone, that I probably needed to lose anyway, and completely changed my eating habits. I wasn't a massive snacker before, but meal portions were quite generous. I now eat twice a day, porridge for breakfast and a normal size dinner.
I have zero appetite for sugar, I ate a jelly baby and found it disgustingly sweet (I used to love them) and just can't be bothered to eat if I am not hungry, I seem to just be hungry at the right time, breakfast and dinner time, and energy levels are up. I have also found I don't really need to add salt to meals, I used to sprinkle it on as habit, everything tastes better.
I do not recommend burning out, at all, but every cloud, and all that.
We don't know yet, but we think she developed leukemia from the chemo/radio (not the first time that's happened in my family) and then got an infection her body couldn't fight. How it happened so quickly....no idea.Sorry to hear that, DaGaffer (now I can post!) Must be quite a shock. Do they know what it was?
Sorry for your loss, look after yourselfHad a terrible weekend. Early November my Mum finished her last immunotherapy treatment for breast cancer, nearest you can get to an "all clear". So she and my stepdad went off for a cruise to celebrate. Last week she got short of breath and went into hospital in Tenerife. Died at 1.30AM on Sunday. My brother made it to the hospital with a couple of hours to spare.
Fuck.
Or being chunky.Yeah, but it's boring. Being chunky doesn't necessarily equal being unfit or unhealthy, my old man was running marathons into his 60s and rode 20 miles a day, and is chunky. He would probably still be doing it if 20 years of jumping out of planes didn't fuck his knees.

Biggest problem with knees is weight.
Speaking as a currently fat cunt about to undergo a 3rd round of ankle surgery.
(Motivation for me to lose weight)
Has FH been down more than usual? Find myself seeing a Men At Work sign more often than not these days.
