Eating to get fitter
Jun. 12th, 2026 06:38 pmCrossing fingers that I'm approved fit for surgery. Whatever the case I'm trying to get fitter - within my neurological illness's limitations - before any surgery. Which primarily involves eating better, to lose some weight. Since Monday, by better eating, I've lost 0.6kg - over a pound in old money. I don't need to eat too much because I'm so asleep now, but I can eat unhealthily, and it all adds up. So have a new strategy for a little smackerel around breakfast, then slowly eat 10-15 grapes with a cup of tea around lunchtime, then a filling but not too big dinner. And cutting down on biscuits, chocolates etc. Wish me luck! At the moment I'm not feeling unreasonably hungry. Hoping to sustain it. Sadly hot flushes from having to suddenly stop HRT won't burn any calories. Mega drat!
