The Goblin and the diet. - a photo on Flickriver

            A goblin is a grotesque, monstrous creature that appears in the folklore of multiple European cultures; usually mischievous and sometimes evil and malicious.

According to the famous English folklorist, Katharine Mary Briggs (1898-1980), goblins are evil and ill-intentioned spirits. Ugly in appearance, they are embedded in the rich folklore of the United Kingdom, in particular.

Like all members of the very broad category of “fey”, or the beings of the preternatural world, including fairies, elves, and pixies, goblins are renowned for being tricksy. They are best avoided. 

Back in 2020 my doctor suggested that I could be pre-diabetic and suggested I lost a lot of weight (40Kg about 90 pounds), So I "set to" and drastically reduced my calorie intake.

After losing about 70 pounds (just under 2 years) I went back to see the doctor (November 2021) - all was well blood sugar OK kidney and liver function OK - but look at the effect it had on my appearance! 

I have put some of the weight back on (and in my opinion I look better) and the my health still seems OK.

The delights of getting old.
