1. I have lost a pound.
2. My sugar is now over 8 in the morning.
3. I don't think my doctor is really addressing the problem.
4. Going to continue the not eating campaign in the hope that I live long enough to benefit from the results.
5. Not happy. Very worried.

Last in a Long Line of Resolutions.
OK, so I'm not normal, apparently. Max knew I was going to put that. He says that with what I eat and the amount of exercise I do, I should be as thin as a racing snake, or at the very least losing some weight. He noted that the lack of exercise I've been getting over the winter has had no effect at all on my weight and suggested that something was 'broken'.
So I went for a barrage of tests and they all came back normal, apart from the blood sugar, which is up a bit, but they don't seem to want to treat it. So WTF am I going to do?
I have tried Weight Watchers, healthy eating, lots of exercise and cutting out treats. None of them make an iota's difference to my weight, which is a constant 13st 1 at the moment. I have changed jobs to reduce the stress. Still no effect (well, a few pounds, but nothing to write home about).
Clearly, I must be deluding myself about how much junk I'm eating and how much effect it has on my body. I am surely deluding myself about the amount of exercise I do. Maybe all those sessions at the gym were not the heart pumping, fat burning experiences I thought they were. I need to do more and eat less.
So, I am going to stop eating. No, I don't mean fasting completely. That would last until about lunchtime. I'm going to stop having meals altogether and just eat a slice of toast or an orange or something pathetically small until such time as my body shrinks, my blood sugar normalises or I kill someone due to hunger induced bad temper.
