Half asleep and shoving my belly to one side, I climbed on the dreaded scales waiting for some caustic comment but to my astonishment they told me I had lost a little more weight. Like my scales now I do !
You lost 1.2 kilogram they say and my reply was “is that all”. Not wishing to get into an argument with them, too early for that, I jumped off quickly and ran out into the street to tell everyone. (just wish I had got dressed first !!)
Next week I have the big one as that is when the tape measure comes out which I believe is the real test.

Went to see my health professional today and Yes it is a woman so that must make her a “professional Lady”, hmmm
The appointment went well at first talking about my weight loss and a few medical things. She asked me what sort of food I am eating so I showed her my spreadsheet records then it hit the fan.
She said I should be more careful about how many calories I am eating. I put her straight right away saying I am not eating bloody calories. I have never purchased calories fresh or frozen. I do not even know what a bloody calorie looks like let alone eat one.
Raising her eyebrows she then tackled me about “fibre” asking how much did I eat. I have never in my life eaten bloody fibre, I don’t like fibre, I have never seen it in a supermarket and there is no mention of it in my food history so where the hell did that question come from, stupid woman !
After a few shakes of a head and even more raised eyebrows she went on to question me about fat. Now fat is something I know about because I hate fat. I will not eat fat in any shape or form. I cut it off my bacon. I cut it off my meat I refuse to eat fat and I bloomin well told he so in no uncertain terms.
If she raises those bloody eyebrows again I am going to hit her I thought.
Next came the question of “Protein”. Now I know a little about this subject but had no intention of talking to a woman about it so changed the subject very quickly.
Something called “Carbohydrates” huh, as I looked at her as if she was a green man from Mars.
I don’t eat those bloody things they sound awful. Again I have never seen one never bought one and don’t even want to I can’t even spell the bloomin word and asked why she is asking me if I eat all this crap.
I told her dead straight, I eat good wholesome food I said, I eat things like fish and chips, steak and chips, pork sausages and chips, Hamburgers and chips, big Mac and French fry’s all with bread because I love a “chip butty” .
Hmmm, says this “professional Lady” Hmmmm…. How is your cholesterol ?
How is my what, say me. Cholesterol she says have you had it checked lately.
I ask you, how the f&^$”*^ hell would I know what a freeking cholesterol is. Never seen one never tasted one and it sounds revolting as well.
Looking at me over her glasses (hate that I do) she says to me “you really should know and understand what you are eating you know”. That did it, !! I freekin know what I am eating I aint bloody stupid. I know what a sausage looks like, I know what a King Mac with fry’s looks like, I know what a Mars Bar looks like. I ask you, what a stupid thing to say to an intelligent man like me !!!!!!!!!
Well after an hour or so of arguments I decided that if I am supposed to eat this crap she is on about then forget it I will stay fat !!!!!!!

Weigh in day today so I head for the bathroom, more slowly than normal as I know those dammed scales are waiting for me. (and I didn’t need a pee)
I hate the bloody things because they talk the weight and last week when I stepped on them they said……”ONE AT A TIME PLEASE” not nice at all.
Anyhoo, I am told that I am fat, the cheek of them makes me wish there were more people around who told lies that would help me feel better.
OK says me, so I am fat what do you think I should do about it huh ?
Go on a diet was the reply, yer, a bloody diet, good idea I will try that.
I then had a visit to see my doctor who asked how I was doing with the diet.
Brilliant says me in fact I decided that if a diet was that good for me I would go on three of them. Am I good or what. ?
I was told that “sensible eating” is better than a diet and this really confused me.
On returning home my wife asked me what had been said. I told her that the doc said I had to eat sensibly and that I did not understand what he meant as far as I know there is only one way to eat and that is…. Stick it in your face and chew it. Once chewed swallow it keep doing that until the plate is empty and you have to loosen your trouser belt. Then keep an eye on the wife’s plate, watch out for anything she don’t eat and grab it quick. Makes sense huh. Sensible eating I like this idea.
I always take the wrapper off my Mars Bar or chocolate bar and I always make sure my potato chips and mushy peas are never too hot, I like sensible eating I do. !
It was suggested that I should stay off the cheddar cheese which I did so made up for the deficit with chocolate biscuits but still put weight on so that idea didn’t work did it, back to good old cheddar.
Well I must be doing something right because those stupid talking scales this morning said nice things to me and I did hear them say “you lost weight” when I checked it turns out I lost 1.5 kg this week.
Do you think it was because I took my wallet out of my pocket ??

Who’s fault is it I ask ?
Who can I blame ? There must be someone or even something I can blame for me putting this weight on surely, everybody on FS seems to have something or someone to blame so why not me ?
OK - lets go back a while when I was first on FS and lost tons of weight then discovered the reason was not all my own effort. Ahaaaa I had something to “blame” for the weight loss good Oh.
Then came the medical issue which was corrected by surgery followed by a long period of convalescence and building up a battered body. Oh can I blame that for putting the weight on again then, no says the doctor you cant nobody forced you to eat the junk you stuffed in your face because you felt sorry for yourself.
OK point taken so how about blaming Christmas then would that be legit I ask.
No came the reply for the same reason. It was you who picked it up and stuffed it in your face nobody forced you it was one hundred percent down to you.
OK so how about New Year then and all the celebrations that go with it.
Nope came the reply, again, you stuffed it in your face you were not tortured or even forced to eat it.
Ahaaa, says me so how about the wife then she bought it and brought it home then cooked it and put it on my plate so it must be her fault.
No again was the reply, you have never talked it over with her, you never complained about putting weight on and she only did that which she thought you wanted. She did it from her love for you and no other reason so think again.
Got It…. I can blame that birthday party I went to can’t I ? Oh no you can’t that was a one off thing and you have put weight on steadily for months now and done nothing about it, try again Pal !!
Hey, it’s beginning to look like it is my own fault here and I hate blaming myself for anything. Am I stuck with the blame then ?
YES was the stern reply !!!!

Good Morning FS members.
I wake this morning (this is believed to be an excellent habit to get into) thinking about meals for Monday.
I want to have a 170 gram potato cooking it in a pressure cooker but don’t know how to find the calorie count.
Do I treat them as boiled or steamed as in both those methods of cooking the goodness is cooked out of the food but in pressure cooking, I believe it remains.
Another point I need help on is when using an Activfry for making potato chips.
We add the smallest amount of vegetable oil, like a teaspoonful, which produces beautiful chips but how do I treat this for a calorie count?
I do have difficulty finding information about this method of cooking and relating it to calories.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
