Hope today's eating really helped Jaffa.

Good day foodwise Jaffa!

I didn't think you needed to book holidays at Target?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Still no movement on the scales at all

I'm only booking a holiday in case I don't weigh next week as well as tomorrow

Its seriously getting me down. Its ridiculous how my scales aren't moving and I know they aren't broken

 

[janetelizabeth]

Ugh... sorry Jaffa I know what a stress it is!!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I texted my consultant earlier about a holiday for tomorrow but not heard back yet which isn't unusual as I'm part of the social team I'm always there early so she'll probably discuss it with me tomorrow

 

[janetelizabeth]

I'm sure she understands and it won't be a problem.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Had a few lovely texts from her she thinks I should weigh so I can report it to the hospital about the unexplained weight problems

But obviously this has been going on for years hence it taking me two years to lose two stone

Do you think the hospital will be 'interested' in the none weight loss side of things? Not being negative you understand... As you said this isn't a new thing.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

No not at all especially as I get weighed every time I go to clinic but she obviously doesn't know all the history and she is really trying to help me

At one point I provided 3 months worth of written food diaries to both slimming world and my Dr and nothing was done
Sw just said the diet works for 99% of people and I must have a medical problem. My Dr just said some people lose weight easier and quicker then others and I'm not one of them

This was before the current gastro diagnosis

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes I agree. You know it's the way you process or don't process food? I know the things that stall my system and hinder my weight. Wonder if there are any 'normal' people out there?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I just wish I knew what stalled me and what I can't and can't process properly

I mean I know I can't eat meat or poultry and also need to be mainly lactose free but I've not changed my diet really at all for months and months since I went lactose free and obviously I've been able to lose weight and get below target

 

[janetelizabeth]

Let's hope you get some answers soon.
I have physical signs which I assositiated myself. Medics only suggested meds to control symptoms instead of looking for root causes.
