Of course you did

I did
I had my medical today. It's pretty comprehensive and we talk about diet for about 10 mons

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

In the last 3 months I have completely changed my diet but I honestly didn't do it to lose weight.
I've cut out potatoes Bread Pasta Rice and crisp as they are loaded with Carbs.
As a diabetic carbs are your enemies once eaten your body turns them into sugar.
I'd reached a point in my life when I knew I had to do something drastic as life had become shit.
5 pisses a night completely ruins your sleeping pattern.
Thrush is Facking horrible.
Spots and infection under my armpits.
I've gone from 16 stone to 14 stone 3.
Your mind is programmed to think rice with curry pasta with meatballs sarnies for work. I still enjoy loads of food but substitute vegetables salads Cauliflower rice etc.
Feel a million times better.

You still cycling?

Pompey away we had a chat about such matters

Sadly no mate exercise is the next step.
I find cycling dangerous too many idiots on the road.
Probably start my walking again

Forgive me if I find it hard to believe that today , the same day a discussion about rapid weight loss and the pros and cons etc took place on here you went to your doctor , got an appointment and discussed the same stuff we talked about today

It seems one heck of a coincidence

But if you say so ON

I'm not really sure what to say. It was booked in months ago - I have to have one at least every 12 months. I didn't go to "my" doctor. My firm has an on-site clinic purely for the purpose of doing staff medicals so I went there, but the person who does the medical is a doctor. And of course we discuss diet. I have to complete a fairly thorough questionnaire about what I eat, drink, how I sleep, stress levels, my exercise etc before I go and obviously last time they observed a significant drop in my weight and fat and wanted to understand it, so he was interested to discuss whether the weight had stayed off.

People have medicals. Mine was today.

You don't have to justify yourself to sludge. On another note, do you play for Arsenal or something That's some stringent shit you have to go through.

I know! No, the opposite, I have a sedantry desk job.

It does seem a bit OTT. I have to do press-up tests; treadmill; bike; flexibility; some sort of lung capacity test; bloods, urine tests; this insanely complex sound test; eye tests; the good old cough-and-drop and they even check your balls. But it is quite good really. Gives me a chance to mention all of the little things you dont' normally bother going to see the GP about, and they are willing to check pretty much anything you mention.

It's not something you pass or fail and the results are entirely confidential. As far as I can tell they do it just to encourage us to look after our health.

I do something similar, although just lungs, eyes and ears (hearing) I get a bit paranoid over my employee having this kind of info on me. Are you happy about it?

the last time i went to the doctors was over 10 years ago apart from having my ears syringed by the nurse over there . so if you got nothing wrong with you they will do all that optimistic nick ? i don' t want to be a burden on the health service as theres porthcawl nothing wrong with me . does everyone here go for regular checks with the doctor ?

I have to do this once per year as well, it’s one of the reasons I have to come home, I have a load of cardiac stuff during mine as well.

I was at Fulham, that was better than usual, but I wasn't complaining about a non-football thread. The diversity of subject matter is one of the things I enjoy about CCMB.

The context doesn't always come through in the written word.

I am trying to prepare myself for todays offerings . Another car crash I fear.

I used to work for a large company and they did health checks on you hearing eyesight general well being but I always thought it was info they kept to disprove a compensation claim.
I might be wrong.

I work for a partnership. I'm not a partner, but I believe the partners do need to prove their fitness as part of the way the insurance is set up. Or to put it another way: one or two of the least healthy partners are, I believe, technically employees rather partners because their health meant they were uninsurable. Or something.
