Fat Man on a Diet

Went back to the clinic today to have the initial fill returned, and boy do I think I needed it!

According to their ‘records’ I only lost 200 grams this week… however I was wearing heavier clothes and had just had soup and coffee for lunch so was actually ‘lighter’ than the scales indicated, or would have been had I not had lunch before I went.

Even so… the positive spin is that my weight has clearly ’stabilised’ and so the reduction in the capacity of the ‘pouch’ almost certainly means I’ll be *forced* to lose weight by the simple mechanical process of not being able to eat anything in quantity.

Actually for the past week life has been ‘interesting’. I’ve not been hungry, though *have* been eating more than I suppose I should have been. Once or twice I managed to eat the wrong foods… or the wrong quantity of food and ended up writhing around in pain. Once was at the bowling alley with the kids when I ate a couple of chicken nuggets without thinking. Boy that hurt!!

Basically it looks as though I need an attitude readjustment again and hopefully this ‘fill’ will help me on the way.

Having said that, when I came home I still had my ‘afternoon snack’ (an hour or so ago) which was a cup of soup… and now I feel totally bloated. I suppose I’m *still* eating too fast.

I’ve paperwork to read through which is supposed to help me along the way, but sadly right now little of it seems to apply to me specifically. Whether this is because I had my ‘initial fill’ removed I don’t know but I *do* know I’ll be cutting back this evening regardless. The kids have made fish cakes for dinner and nice as the mix was (I tried a spoonful) I think a whole one, even with salad on the side, will just be too much for the smaller puch to cope with.

We’ll see… and I’ll learn, however long it takes.
