My Eating

For most of my adult life I have struggled to maintain a steady healthy weight. Now in my 50's I appreciate the need to maintain a healthy weight and eating regime. Easy to say but not always easy to practice.

I have always struggled with my weight after my teens and found I could no longer just eat whatever I liked.

​

About 5 years ago I joined a gym and started to look after myself more and had a lot of success in losing weight. However with various things and the usual excuses my weight increased again to over 105 kg at the end of 2016. Around this time I had a slight health scare which gave me a kick-start to do something about it. At this time I was prescribed medication for blood pressure and despite been told I would take this for life it is still my ambition to be told I no longer need to.

​

During 2017 I have gradually lost 10 kg up to August 2017 however the rate of success had slowed dramatically and I had the opportunity to engage a Nutritionist for a six month period to help.

​

I weighed in on September 4, 2017 at 96.2 kg

​

The concept of having a nutritionist is something we all thought to be not for the common man and the idea of working and keeping to an eating plan seemed to be beyond me.

​

Since starting I have discovered several things both good and bad and thought it may be a good idea to share my experiences over this period to hopefully help others in a similar situation.

​

I will talk about some of the foods and meals I eat but won't be disclosing my full diet or meal plan as this is a private issue between the nutritionist and myself and is a bespoke plan. That's not to say I won't post meal pictures and other elements of my journey.
