It was going to happen at some point, there was no way I could manage 40 days without the allure of a sausage roll entering my life, guess I should be pleased I got to 26, but before I tell what happened, let’s start at the beginning. The word’s “road…

After years of being involved with contact sports, injury turned me towards tennis in my late 20’s, I actually got quite good at it, until the pressure of work and a moaning partner, forced me to have a break. Unfortunately, this is when my health started to go downhill and…

If there’s one thing we’re good at in the UK, it’s queueing and the other day I joined one of the politest. After having a few health issues, the doc suggested a blood test, being a man, it took me three weeks to pick the form up and another two…

I managed to lose 13 pounds at fat club this week, three of them were in weight and a tenner was spunked away on buying ingredients, in the hope of winning a recipe competition. I’m not bitter but as my dad used to say, “there’s a duck in’t hedge somewhere”.…

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.
