Very pleased the Dr agreed to do the referral - I have a disability that means a regular gym membership would be money (which I don't have!) pretty much wasted, but I really want some help from a specially trained instructor to lose weight and get fitter safely.
I wasn't aware this would also include a dietitian! I don't object to this at all of course, but given all the stuff I've been reading lately admittedly mostly on MN about the 'eat low fat versions/swap sugar for sweeteners' rubbish... I've seen a lot of C4L stuff at the leisure centre, so is this the line I'll be fed? (arf)
I've been sticking to having 'full fat' versions of stuff like cheese, milk etc for a while now and use proper butter (just a lot less of it) rather than spread, and am trying to just have a smaller bit of a treat food rather than buying WeightWatchers mini rolls or low-fat artificial whatever which are so unsatisfying I could eat the lot and still crave cake. It's working for me so far, I'm at least a stone down from my heaviest now, so if I'm told to go low fat/use sweeteners etc... do I just smile and nod? :o

Got an 'Active Life' referral from the GP - what's the betting that I'll have Change4Life pushed on me?
