Thank you all so much for your suggestions.
Now for the excuses ......
I can’t eat a lot of fibre, it’s dangerous for me. I have no colon so I don’t need roughage as such and the hysterectomy caused serious damage to my small bowel so it’s narrowed and strictured plus has a hole coming out on to my skin ( living the dream lol ). So my diet is low fibre as in white bread, white rice, fish, chicken, cheese , very little veg and bananas . That’s about it. Cake and chocolate move through easily so they are not a problem. Typical.
That said they are no good for me apart from creating a weight problem. I don’t wake up in the night CLKD but I could have cake for breakfast. My sister is the same, but she is healthy and a gym bunny so just about gets away with it .
Today I’ve had a hot cross bun and some ice cream so that’s good for me. I did lose 40 lbs many years ago and was quite slim so I know I can do it . It’s just everything isn’t it, Covid, families , health , life .
Excuses I know.
I’m going to weight tomorrow, il probably faint. I’m tall 5ft 10’ so have always ‘carried it well’ but no more, I feel fat and look fat and I hate it xx
