Weight a Minute … !

Hmmm …

Did you ever hear the old urban myth that stopping smoking makes your weight balloon … ?

Yes …

Me too.

I’d always felt that there was a certain lack of foundation to that.

Was I ever wrong, there … !

You seen, I’ve been in to see my doctor, this morning.

And technically … ?

Well …

You’ve heard of the idea of Body Mass Index?

You take your weight and your height, divide them together, and the number you get is a rough guide to whether you’re underweight, about right, overweight, or morbidly obese.

I got …

Well …

Lets put it this way, it didn’t turn out as an especially healthy number.

Hmmm …

Now, I’ll happily admit …

I’ve walked away from that with — here’s the cliqué — Dr’s Orders

Mostly to start eating more healthily: which, believe it or not, I’m trying to, and to take 45 minutes of exercise.

A brisk walk’s been suggested.

Gosh, I’m glad I managed to get those anti-inflammatories.

That should make that bit easier … !

Post a Comment

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.
