12.12

Went out for a lovely dinner last night and drank red wine.  Hangovers have completely disappeared since living in Kent.  I have changed from being someone floored by alcohol for three days with a monster headache to a total drunk who has no repercussions at all from being legless the night before.
Dangerous.  I never touch red wine normally because it makes me so ill but there are no ill effects whatsoever from last night's Shiraz.  Had a delicious steak and naughty chips.

I drank a lot of liquid yesterday.  Diet coke, lime and soda and water.  Still constipated.  Don't know why.  Too much bread perhaps.

I would go on a high protein diet but I am afraid of never pooing.  Maybe I should cut out bread completely and see if I lose weight.  Bread is lazy food because you just toast it or spread it or shove things between it.  I will have bread today but next week I will give it a miss.

Went for a magnificent swim. Had a maltesers bar - lovely.
Twins' birthday tea - ate all the cakes.
Skipped dins. Feel full.
No booze but liver still aches.

I am detoxing after abusing my liver so horribly; it now hurts.  Seeing as it hasn't been very long that I have been so bad, about six weeks, it shouldn't take too long to repair.  I decided not to send it away like the hoover.

The method is:-
No alcohol
No chocolate
Less bread
No cheese
Less milk
Less fat
Less salt
Less sugar
More water
Liver pills (milk thistle & dandelion)
More walking.

Yesterday I managed everything except no chocolate - I had two choccy digestives and a toffee. I went on a huge walk to Littlestone and back.  My legs ached.  My liver aches.
