5 years later…

2017: I did write my last post the 25th of june 2017, at this date my weight was 144,0 kgs.

2018: end of the year: as my parents health was going down, I did quit my previous job, located in Easten France, to get a similar job close to their house in the Western France. Weight around 140 kgs.

2019: the whole year I did work in the same type of job as previously, I was visiting people at their place to help them. Though it was a very active work, my weight was always around 140 to 150 kgs.

2020: beginning of the year I did quit my job to start a long remote training session in IT, everything done at my place, meaning: very low physical activity. (from feb. 2020 to may 2022.)

February 2022: I did see 158,0 kgs on my scale…

Since February I have tried to be more careful.

22nd may 2022: I did visit my Doctor, quite happy to announce that I went down from 158 to 152 kgs. He did barely notice it, as it was absolutely nothing. He did just say, as always, that he was worried for my weight. He gave me an additionnal medicine for Cholesterol. This visit did trigger something. First: though I did lose 6 kilos, it was looking like nothing for the Doctor, meaning that I am sooo fat that this amount of weight is totally nothing… Second: I did get an additionnal treatment related to my obesity. Just after the visit I did decide to be serious, for real.

29th august 2022: visit to the Doctor: weight 128,9 kgs. 23,1 kgs lost since my last visit to him, about 100 days ago, and 29,1 lost since february. Just being careful.

Today: 24th november 2022: 133,4 kgs. I took back 4,5 kgs, and… astonishingly, though compare to these last years, it is still around my lowest weight I do feel very fat.

I feel like that I was super fat, and I just went down to being just fat… still fat, and that I have to restart everything again. I did just get rid of something almost incredible (reading 158 kgs on my scale…), but… I was in a super bad situation and now I am in a bad situation.

Oh, by the way: I do precise that I went to a dietetician these past months, 2 times, and it was not helping at all. I don’t need to know what to eat. I need to know how I can stick to a healthy way of life. And it does mean that I need to have somebody to listen to me, and she was just not listening to me.

I have an overweight problem since I was around 10… 40 years later, ( I am 48 yeard old indeed) I still have to deal with this overweight, FORTY years! Time flies, time flies!

As often, I think that it is kind of my last chance to get healthy, because now I am 48 years old, and it is time to get rid of this obesity, before it triggers real bad deaseses.

I will share my thoughts on this blog, with the hope it can help to understand what is going on, and how I can solve this vital problem.

Ending my 3rd Vegan day : already enjoying carrot juice !

Previously ( and I mean some days before ), coming back home after a long day of work enduring some hot temperatures, I would have enjoyed to drink a lot of Cola Zero ! It would have been such a pleasure, even knowing it couldn’t be that good for my health. I was pretty sure it was impossible to replace it by carrot juice…

And indeed … this evening I took one cold carrot juice and it was delightful ! And I took a second glass of it ! 🙂 Close to be as good as a cola zero ! I would’nt have imagine that ! 

Meals of the day in photos, well I took the same thing noon and evening as main meal. Already made with a rest of 2 days ago. 


I did also eat some nuts during the day and did drink about one liter of water (perhaps not enough)

Well… I do realize, thanks to the photos, that I drink a lot of cereals milk : morning was rice one, noon was soy one, and evening oat one ! 🙂   Always with chicory today , the very good liquid one from Lutin.  

25/06/2017 :

Weight : 144.0 kgs.

Lost 1.9 kgs in 2 days. 

Ending second day of my Vegan Diet

I was working today and was tired when coming back home, late. I ate :

– a fruit jelly

– hot beverage made with soy milk and cykoria/coffee mix,

– piece of homemade bread,

– 1 glass of orange/lemon mix + 1 glass of grape juice,

– some pinches of nuts.

Not a very well balanced meal for sure…

There was obviously not enough vegetables in my meals today… I’ll try to improve tomorrow. But happy to succeed to not eat meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. 

Mood : rather good. Unexpectedly tired this morning, because of a bad quality sleep last night. I do hope it will get better soon.

Ending of my first Vegan day : quite happy ! :)

– Rice, 2 types seeds, onion, garlic, spices. (Too much garlic … so … not super tasty… )

– 1 glass of pure tomato juice.

– 1 jelly ! (Ok, not super healthy)

– 1 hot beverage : oat milk with Cykoria. 🙂

Happy to have succeed this first day without big difficulties. 

Although that my Mood during the day was so-so, I do think that I will get used to my new diet quickly.

To be continued…

First Noon Vegan Style Meal

I think that’s rather ok for a first try :

– Half Melon as a starter : good taste.

– Main meal : carrots, celery, seeds, bit of onion, corn, round green beans, potatoes, and unfortunately too much garlic … so not that good …

– To drink : pure carrot juice (with ice) : as good as a carrot juice can be… well, not bad.

– Dessert : strawberries, soja cream and dried grapes : yummy ! 🙂

Little extra : 🙂

Excited about Trying Veganism

I do think about an episode of Modern Family. Cameron was on a diet (juicing I think) and Mitchell was complaining that Cam was again getting rid off ‘evil food’ throwing right into the carbage all the cookies and things like that they were
 having in their whole house… and that 2 weeks later they will buy again those ‘evil foods’ … I hope I’m not acting like Cameron ! 🙂

This morning :

– oat milk with Inka (made from cereals),

– banana/apricots/blueberry just put together in pieces in a bowl,

– pure fruit juice (6 ones, mainly red ones)

It was delicious 🙂

About my weight :

23/06/2017 : 145,9 kilos, never been under 140 kilos since the beginning of the year…

I have a rather active life with almost always more than 100.000 steps a week. My work is to help people at their home, so I’m visiting people all the day long. (Around 10 visits a day) I move a lot, but it’s rarely enough long effort in time to be that good for the heart.

I have got a Fitbit app which says my heart condition regarding my age is weak…


I’ll improve this ! 🙂

(By the way yesterday I hope that I did my last crazy binge eating : I ate a 480 grams ice cream pot… and not only this… but it was the ‘masterpiece’ … crazy… but well, let’s think it’s the past now ! 🙂

Last meal of the day

Well, not a fancy presentation for sure :

– industrial soup with little pieces of bread inside + slice of bread and cheese + dessert pumpkin cream (thick) and chocolate jelly.

Drunk for now 1,5 litre of water.

Recently up to 137,2 kilos !!!! (max) then now 135,8…
