I work in Christchurch so its a drive in of about 35mins, this morning was just delicious, a lovely Spring morning, and it seems to me to be a very appropriate time to be starting on this journey, A really good Spring clean so to speak.
One of the journals I read is a guy from New York who is following the diet of a patient who has had gastric bypass ( he hasnt had one)
first he was on liquids, then purees, then now restricted to 500 calouries, he gyms and is active. Suits him, he is doing very well, although reading between the lines, he is getting hungry. I for one could not do this, neither could I have the serious surgery. Which brings me to my point, last night after dinner, I sat down to watch McLeods Daughters, I am not a great enthusiastic TV watcher, but I like what I like, only it was not on and instead they played a doco from UK "Supersize Kids" One segment was about a mother and daughter (daugher under 18) morbidly obese who were going to Belguim for the gastric bypass, anyone see this doco? What stays in my mind is the graphic pics of FAT. Internally covering every organ, FAT around the liver, bowel, and the heart, and the specialist remarking that it is the FAT covering the heart which slows its' ability to work properly.
I have come to a realisation I have the FAT all around my organs, and it must be banished, ( OMG can someone tell me where it goes???) I am focused and on track.
PS I am not in anyway bagging anyone who has had GBS, and as the doco showed, it improved the life of the young girl immensely, and she now sees herself living a worthwhile happy life. - its just not for me!!
Cheers everyone 
TIAGF: A beautiful Spring Day, and my two lovely boys!!!
