Would You Be Worried

[emmie]

if for no discernible reason you could think of, you started losing
weight. I need to lose weight but am concerned that apart from
changing from white bread to brown wholemeal bread that i am indeed losing it.

[emmie]

i have involuntarily switched from veg oil to sunflower oil, sainsburys mix up, but don't see that as having an impact.....

[waterboatman]

I can't see just changing from white to wholemeal bread have that effect emmie. There must be another reason. Keep a check on it, if you're worried by it see your GP.

[waterboatman]

Veg oil and sunflower oil aren't all that different. So it can't be that.

[emmie]

am considering that option. I have started to lose it round the middle, where i was quite podgy its now down what feels like half a stone, though i don;t know that for sure.

[ummmm]

Over how long a period?

[emmie]

a matter of weeks, rather than months

[waterboatman]

I can't think of anything that could cause that. so yes, see you GP soonest.

[emmie]

i need to lose it, i am very heavy for my height, but as Mr Em died from colon cancer, this has me worried.

[waterboatman]

Coffee time. Back in a tick.

[waterboatman]

I'll say it again emmie, See your GP soonest.

[emmie]

i have had a loo problem for over two years now, going a lot, i have been prescribed lopermide but i hate taking it, as it makes me bloated. I have had it looked at and was told by the gastro chap i don't have cancer...

[emmie]

will give them a call tomorrow morning, but i am not sure they are seeing people....

[ummmm]

Are you more mobile than you were? You mention going out much more than you used to plus you've been sorting your flat, it's all exercise.

[waterboatman]

Good exercise too!

[emmie]

no more mobile - i have lost some of the belly that has plagued me, to be honest i have no idea why i weigh what i do, i don't drink much alcohol, or eat bad foodstuffs. I will call the GP and see they can suggest, the weird thing is i feel a deal happier than i have for ages.....

[waterboatman]

That's good then emmie, but you do need to see if your GP can give you an explanation and some guidance for the future.

[emmie]

yes indeed

[ummmm]

You have to remember as well that if you have excess weight it can come off quite quickly to start with.

Have you ever watched 'secret eaters'?

[emmie]

i haven't changed my diet, except that which i have already mentioned.

[emmie]

no i haven't watched it, i do eat the occasional biscuit, and have discovered recently a raisin brunch bar, which is lovely.
