• Pardon !

    Getting old is something we hope will happen to us, though not everyone is fortunate enough to experience it. I’m sure if given the choice, all the young men who died on the beaches at Normandy would have swapped their short lives for one of fulfilment, even if it meant…

  • The “M” word.

    I’ve talked about Slimming World a lot regarding my weight loss journey and credited them with helping me get to where I am. I mentioned the stress involved with the weekly queue at weigh in and the up’s and down’s of the impending result, but something only just dawned on…

  • Life’s too short.

    I get weighed in at Fat club on a Friday, so usually have a drink over the weekend and then behave Monday to Thursday. I try not to have any alcohol on these days and eat reasonably well, if this happens, more often than not I get a loss. This…

  • Aaaarrrrggghhhh!!!

    There is absolute no doubt stress is a killer, it’s also a huge reason for many strokes, so why aren’t we better at controlling this? It’s almost as if this silent assassin waits in the shadows for the first sign that something’s turning a bit shit in our lives, then…

    What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why? l’m a big fan of the Flintstones, so won’t go to Dubai as they don’t watch it there, luckily, Abu dhabi do.

  • Dreams

    We all have them and I’m not talking about the ones at night, I’m referring to dreams we have of achieving a goal. When I was a teenager, mine was to fly, not as a passenger, but a pilot, I did this aged 26 when finally allowed to go solo,…

  • Day one.

    I heard something the other day for the first time that really made me take notice, while scrolling through Tik Tok, the familiar face of Will Mellor popped on the screen and instead of swiping up, I decided to watch and I’m so glad I did. “One day, or day…

  • A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I was writing my bucket list, maybe I should have bought a book with less pages as I need 101 and have only just added number 16. Like some of the previous editions, my wish is something that many take for granted…

    After writing my last blog, which touched on the subject of mental health, I received a few private messages from people saying positive things and it made me realise how important this is and a vital part of any journey to a healthier life. It also got me thinking about…

  • In your head.

    It’s no secret that I like to talk, before I had to pack up due to my legs not working, I made money by waffling crap as a tour guide, so it’s seems natural that I should add to my blog by starting a podcast. The idea would never have…

Hi, I’m Keith.

Welcome to my blog. I’m on a mission to lose weight in order to have a much needed operation, that will hopefully help me regain the gift of mobility. As the title suggests, I also plan to become a fittie, though that might require some plastic surgery. Like the whole population of the world, things have been a bit shit since 2020 and eating all those sausage rolls during lockdown didn’t help. If you want the full story, then read the about page, but if I were you, I’d just crack on with my hopefully humorous anecdotes about life as a fat disabled guy.
