(Sorry iDave, i'm not actually better than you... sexier maybe with nicer boobs, but not better 😛 )
A while ago I mentioned I was going to weigh****chers with a patient, the extreme disappointment (that can only be compared to finding out a kitten has raped your best friend in a drug induced frenzy) stuck with me for, well... minutes! I was not happy... I had to help this patient, mainly because that's my job 😆
So 2 weeks ago I sat down with him and drew up a food diary, meal planner, clear and simple shopping list, booked weekly slots (hehe 'slots') in the diary and a "gentlemans agreement" which the patient signed agreeing to try his best and be honest when he slips up so we can discuss what needs to change to make it a better and more effective plan... 2 hours of dedicated 1:1 time each week to explore and hopefully improve his relationship with food.
10 weeks at weigh****chers, total weight loss = 2lbs
2 weeks with me, total loss so far = 12lbs.
He's not hungry all the time, and he's more motivated than anybody has seen for years 🙂 I know he wont keep up the 6lbs a week loss but he's made some big changes in his eating patterns, diet and his relationship with food in just 2 weeks 😀
I know nobody will care about this or bother replying... but I'm chuffed and very proud of him!
As I referenced iDave in the thread title I figured its best to clear this up now... I haven't stolen the iDiet 🙂 He's still eating bread and potatoes, and there is milk in his diet.... the only similarity is he now has no sugar in his drinks.
I'm chuffed 😀
*is chuffed*
Chuff on sexypants.
When I think of "relationships" with food I think of...
Fancy some bike riding on Sunday??????????????????
Now if we can just get Olanzapine prescribed for him, all your good work will be in vain. 😈 HEN HEN HEN!
I know nobody will care about this or bother replying... but I'm chuffed and very proud of him!
Au contraire mon ami!
Good on ya!
It's obviously working because (1) you know your food groups etc and (2) you're giving this dude dedicated 1:1 time, which is something almost nobody gets these days.
You've a right to feel chuffed, well done.
Solving a tricky SQL issue in my job doesn't really compare with this on the 'making a difference' scale so well done philc 🙂
Let me find a suitable gif...

There you go. Well done!
I've just chuffed, if that helps.
Phil you (I assume) working in mental heath explains a lot 😆
So many of your posts actually make me lol
😆 😆 😆 😆slots (hehe 'slots')
Keep up the good work on both fronts
cheers guys!
coincidently that gif is exactly what i look like when i need to persuade people to take their meds... a quick razzle dazzle and there's no more questions, just efficient tablet consumption.
Phil - you always seem like an all-round top sexy-bloke. Well done!
Now, can you just do the same for me, please...
Can I have a copy of the iPhil diet please
the 'badboybigbonus' (Copyright Me, Just now. 2011) of it all is that he hasn't started any form of exercise routine yet, the plan is to introduce some swimming into the mix at the 1-month mark and build up from there, that should help things along as his body gets used to the new patterns 🙂
