Revalation!

Following my appointment at the fertility clinic last month I was referred to a dietitian. I gritted my teeth and said "OK" because obviously if you refuse to go then they write "fat, ignorant, Jeremy-Kyle watching loser" on your notes and underline it in red. My intention was to go along, nod and say Yes, of course. i.e., lie.

But I turned up, went through the usual weighing and measuring - turns out my waist is 4cm bigger than is "required". 4cm? I can breathe in! ;-) I had a quick look around her office and realised she wasn't some bullshit artist so I came clean about the fact I don't eat carbs - believing them to be the tools of satan. She said she totally agreed and when we went through my diet she said she wished more people ate like that. So I came away from there feeling REALLY positive and clutching a book she's lent me. I have another appointment next week where she's going to assess the actual nutritional content of what I'm eating but overall it went really really well. I was expecting to be given some bullshit "pyramid" diet involving "eat 5 slices of bread a day".

I won 200k of new business yesterday afternoon. Yesterday afternoon they announced they were firing 400+ people.
