A jolly matelot francais was hosing the deck and I was felled like Admiral Nelson by the French. It has has to do with tendons and ligaments. An operation is required which apparently is like carving a gigot of lamb....except that I'm rather in the mutton department.

That said, I find eating healthier is so much easier when the weather is warmer. I must admit that I'm very lucky that I don't and never have had to watch my weight - but I firmly believe that it's because I've always done the 5:2 thing - in fact it's more like a 4:3 thing - and it comes naturally to me to feel hungry on some days (so I eat lots and I eat whatever I want) and on other days I listen to my body and I eat very little. I do always drink lots of water and I 'power walk' three times a week. I'm not being smug about this - please don't think that - I'm just saying that this 'diet' as everyone seems to be calling it - works if it becomes a way of life. Good luck and enjoy your pie and chips - I quite fancy fish and chips for dinner tonight!<br /><br />Fab review for Never Alone - it's next on my Kindle!<br /><br />Janice xJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831786754054878605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776872181596975599.post-19712177562783993762013-03-18T07:25:01.895+01:002013-03-18T07:25:01.895+01:00Really feel for you over the dieting thing Emma. W...Really feel for you over the dieting thing Emma. With your leg causing havoc it isn't easy and being less mobile doesn't help with 'grazing'. We all do it and writing isn't a job that helps either. Hours on the PC with only bathroom and meal breaks ha! ha! I've gained a stone since becoming a writer, and a stone that hangs exactly where I don't want it to, and won't go away. I find drinking plenty of water, and then fruit juice helps to keep me from reaching for the chocolate. Thank you for the fab review. There are several ways of interpreting the ending, I have my personal favourite of course, but I think it depends on your own life experiences as to how each reader will see it. It was a lot of fun to write! Good luck and persevere - hope you enjoyed the steak and kidney pie & chips!

Hmmm? We need someone to grow chocolate flavoured carrots. Simples! Love it! Good luck, Emma. You're doing fabulously. Fab review for Linn's book, too! Love it! :) xxSheryl Brownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00921522478513543769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776872181596975599.post-25783962289021045802013-03-17T05:06:57.272+01:002013-03-17T05:06:57.272+01:00LOL, love you, Emma!

I put on weight when I diet. On balance, I'm back on the chocolate and staying exactly as I am. No more, no less. :-) Fab review of Never Alone, thanks for sharing your thoughts!
