Feeling OK after over a week of doing this now. Appetite is good, some weight lost - apparently my face looks thinner and definitely some gone off my waist I can see and feel it. I don't know how much as I'm not measuring this time.
The money I'd spend on beer has gone towards some nice food that I'd not normally buy, Crab, Artichoke, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Olives, Salamis (of all types) and so on. I've just got to keep away from bread, beer and pasta which isn't too hard so far and I'm drinking plenty of carbonated water too.
I think I might have a beer on Tuesday with some friends or perhaps I'll see if the have the 0% Guinness which is pretty OK. Has carbs in it for sure but at least I won't be pressurising my Liver too much.
I am looking at living wills today and lasting power of attorney for financial and health reasons. I'd like to get these into place in case anything happens to me. I'm an attorney for my business partner and for my mother. They are legal documents that set out who you would like to make decisions on your behalf.
It's complicated as I have two daughters and I'm living with my partner and I cannot quite reconcile the health element. Who decides whether it's time for me to be moved to a home for example if I become incapable and trying to get an answer to that difficult question has delayed the process by 6 months so far as there's no willingness to address that possibility. Many people don't want to face up to what could be inevitable. I'd rather spark the conversation now and draw up plans for it so they know what my wishes are. I do not want to be a burden on anyone and I'm not sure the triumvirate are thinking practically at the moment.
I'm sure I can get them all to see the logic and practicality of this at some time in the near future. I'm also looking at a funeral plan that just involves no real service, just a cremation and that's it. If anyone wants to do anything else then they can but I don't want any fuss etc.
