After going to the hospital last week it appears that im sort of on the mend.

But not completely.

I got told to keep doing what im doing but eat more.

Im officially 5ft 6 inches and I weigh 57.4 kilos or in old money about 8 stone 7 pounds in clothes.
 That gives me a BMI of approx 20.4
 Within normal range but not for me I need to be up more like a 23 so I need to put about a stone on in weight.

I will give it a good go of course but its not as easy as people think.

Thats fine in principle but its harder when you already eat loads and there is only so much you can eat in a day without wanting to through it back up.

People always say to me oh wish I could eat like that and not worry about the weight side of things. Its a nice thing to hear I suppose but I eat and eat and then someone says eat more. Honestly I wish I could but Its easier said than done.

I basically been told to double my intake so eat around 4000 calories a day.

Yes a food lovers dream but its not as easy as it looks. At the moment I eat two meals a day and thena few snacks inbetween.
This gets me to about 2000 calories a days. A normal persons intake easily acheived.

My question is now how on earth will I fit in another 2000 calories?

Thats means trying in some way to basically eat another two meals and two scandi shakes and that will get me to that magic number of 4000 calories.

Now dont get me wrong I like a challenge but this is a challenge I find hard to win. Theres only so much air you can blow into a blown before it pops and thats how I feel.

Anyway i will be trying to up my intake this week and see how I get on. Firstly its two scandi shakes a day which will give me at least an extra 1000 calories a day then it will be just working out the best way to fit in that last but no small intake of another 1000 calories.


I will find a way but I also have to consider im also diabetic so this adds to the challange of trying to balance my sugar levels.

It may seem exciting to be told you can eat more but it is a big issue for someone like me. Its like starting all over again learning your intake and what you need to cover it tablets and insulin wise.

That said it is nice to know I can eat what I like and not worry about my backside getting bigger
