[QUOTE="Allanmax, post: 1757623, member: 471351"] Hi and thanks. When I was diagnosed, at aged 59. from that day just over two weeks ago I've cut out everything that I thought I was doing wrong. No chocolate (my biggest failing). Sugar in tea and coffee, crisps and sugary snacks. I've been vegetarian for over thirty years so the jump isn't really that big. I'm going to miss the fruit quantity more then anything I think. Oh well its a kick up the back side I needed to get healthier so I'm going to take it with both hand's. I'm also looking to get a little slimmer too which is always nice. Get back into my jeans that are lounging in the back of my wardrobe. My biggest help has been my wife, she's been a rock when I've been down. It's been more of a shock to think I'm not immortal after all. Lol. I'm still finding it hard because I thought my lifestyle was pretty good with not eating meat, lots of salad with quorn, not drinking hardly, maybe 4-5 units a week, (down to 0 now and don't miss it) never smoked, and thought I did enough through walking the dogs. Obviously not. On the plus I've lost weight already. Down from 96kilos six weeks ago to 91.7 at the last weigh in. At 5ft 8 need a little more. Had a cat scan and the results came back all clear so it must be the sugary stuff that wasn't helping. This forum is going to help enormously. [/QUOTE]
