04 Nov '10

I got up this morning and had my porridge, made a bottle of water, then headed off to Harrogate District Hospital.  I thought allowing 1/2 hour to get there and get parked would be plenty, but it just shows how wrong I can be...

I am the eternal pessimist!  I didn't have high hopes for this appointment, but I was pleasantly surprised.  I was surprised to find out the dietician was an American woman!  There were 5 other women, three of whom I didn't think were over-weight, 1 was borderline and 1 was over weight.  I think the movie Bridget Jones' Diary has a lot to answer for!  Hollywood is not going to convince me that a size 14 is fat!  No wonder women have such poor self-esteem and poor body images.  The group was a one-off thing; Harrogate NHS has no weight management program.

I didn't pay a lot of attention to what I ate for the rest of the day :-(  I had a yogurt and some raspberries, but they were pretty tasteless, so I didn't have many.  Maybe I'll try strawberries for awhile...  I had a bit of cheese and some imitation crab.  I was going to have some salmon, but I didn't feel like cooking.  I'll put that in the freezer for next week.  I'm going to make cumin-rubbed chicken for my dinners on my graves.

I'm going to watch a bit more TV, finish the last of my 3 liters of water, stretch, read a bit and go to bed.  I have to get up at 6 am tomorrow, so I need my sleep :-)
