Losing Weight

My dad was 18 stone he lived to eat. He was active i.e in the garden, walks e.tc

In 2000 christmas he ended up in hospital after he collapsed one morning.
Nothing obvious had tests he was diabetic.
He had to change his lifestyle completely.
He can drink alcohol. Or at least he does. He totally changed his diet and lost 5 stone.

He used to eat bread butter lashings of it and sugar sandwiches. A million spuds with his dinner.

He needed the fright to sort it out.

Eating right and losing weight is' nt just about looking good it's about also being able to have a longer life.
Your kids want you to be around for as long as possible.

The ones you may have. Jaysus you always telling us that men are lucky they don't have a biological clock. It would be the ultimate act of selfishness to become a father and then not be active or able to actually step up to the plate and be one. Or worse still die on your children.

You are always saying that men can wait that in their 40's or 50's they can find a younger woman to marry and have a family with. Women don't have that choice they have their time for kids. Men can wait.

U are always saying that.

Everyone should keep fit and healthy if they want a full long life. Health and fitness can make life enjoyable for longer.

The kids bit well sometimes people can do things for others that they would'nt do for themselves. All parents would do anything for their kids. Most kids want them around and healthy for as long as possible.

It can be a motivation tool more than anything.

I think its a very loose use of the word always.    It is a biological fact if nothing else.  Now if you were to believe the lads on here it does not matter what age someone with a face like mine is as I will never get the ride and therefore never have kids.

Confidence is the most attractive quality in any man. The lads may sl*g but i really hope you don't believe that.

Im not into all that positive thinking sh*te but in fairness be your own best friend and look after yourself.

I will never forget the christmas my dad was in hospital. We were devasted and the christmas dinner was nothing without him. He was in hospital with a drinks cabinet in his locker and half the country visiting him. I cannot imagine what the last 14 years would have been like without him. I love my dad.

Im 35 I want to see and play with my grandkids sure i know my son's could be gay or never marry but i really want to see how they turn out and never ever be a burden on them.

Anyways im a bit ratty from the diet. Thats all from me on that subject for a while.

If your making cous cous or quinoa, you should cook it with chicken stock alternatively some lemon and olive oil.

But it's much nicer with grilled veg - on a grill pan - grill off some peppers and courgette and cut up finely and then mix it in with the cous cous.

It gives it great colour and tastes lovely.

Eh normal cous cous.
