The journey has begun. Today I joined a gym and bought some clothes to train in. I want to slim down and prevent the risk of type 2 diabetes. I thought I’d start a thread for my journey and start posting about the journey. Hopefully it will see an improvement in my mental health too due to all those feel good chemicals.
So, this is Day 1... I’m nervous but excited at the same time.

@TAB s I read about that ad in a guardian article. Scomo is so out of touch it is incredible or not. Let's hope Alba does nothing stupid before the next election.

@TAB s you know what my 83 year old mother says to me when I start complaing about my aches and pains and general problems she says 'You're not 21 any more' (in jest). Makes me feel 102!

Thanks @TAB , a block of choc might not be too bad depending on the size of the block. My trouble is once I start one I can't really just have a piece. Seem to inhale the whole block in one sitting. Well done on the walk and cereal. I've only had coffee so far today. Struggle city, first day back at work ughghg 🙂
