You may have wondered where I have been, and what I have been up to. (Maybe you haven’t even missed me. Heaven forbid!)

Well I shall tell you anyway.

Since February I have been writing a book.

I am just over half-way through (I believe), and hope to have it completed in the next few months – providing I find sufficient time. I don’t know about you, but I seem take on more tasks than I can handle, which keeps me out of mischief, but has a tendency to make me “run not walk”, when at times I should actually be ambling!

What is this epic about? Weight loss? Lifestyle choices? Exercise?
Come on man, for goodness sake spit it out!

Friends, it’s a novel with a difference. First and foremost it’s about the difficulties faced by a thirteen year old girl who suddenly “discovers” she has become overweight. Not an uncommon occurrence in today’s Western world.

What is so different about this amazing story ?

Sorry, I cannot reveal that to you right now. But you shall be the first to know the instant I am ready to print, and if you ask me nicely, you, my friend on my mailing list will be sent a free copy postage paid.

I will still continue to write a blog whenever I am able but in the meantime, I ask you pray for my endeavours.

Kind regards,

Alan

• Weight-loss pills may be harmful Caution! Weight-loss pills may cause you harm. Having lived for 70 years with minimal medication, and still fit and virile, I am extremely wary of weight-loss pills.

• How ambition can compromise your health In the past few years I have come across many adults who are so obsessed with work, or other ambitions, that they lose their health. Why do men and women with IQs approaching  150 and beyond, become obese? They surely know the dangers. I have come to the conclusion, that......
• Losing weight should be like getting married! Both weight-loss and marriage are about commitment, but there’s more to it than you might imagine. Weight-loss and your health are as inseparable as Siamese twins. When you lose unwanted weight, then your health improves.  The reverse is also true -a healthy lifestyle will give you a healthy weight.......
