Diet Doctor

Do you ever watch that program? Thursdays on FIVE? It is fascinating really, they do not just give someone a diet and exercise regime and say 'get on with it', they go about it more scientific by first checking all sorts of things like poo, urine and blood (yeah yuk I know) and do interesting tests like checking if you are mineral deficient. They also look at ones tongue for instance if it is big, has a coating, cracks or other things that give them a mass of information about how your are doing.

It is very educational I must say...

However, it has a bit of the effect that everytime they find something wrong with the subject of their attention I immediately think I have all those illnesses and deficiencies as well which is a bit unsettling. I suppose it is the same like those stories you always hear about medical students when they learn all the symtoms they need to recognise, apparently they also always think they have all the symptoms they read about.

I am just wondering what that is...

I am wondering.. why I seem to have this deep rooted belief that I am either not healthy or if I by accident might be after all, seem to be convinced that this is only a temporary state.

Is that what one calls hypochondria?

Or does everybody has that and am I once again the only one talking about it? Sometimes I so wish I could look into other peoples heads to be reassured at this level.

Isn't that weird though, thinking about it? That you think that what you think is normal? But how do you know? Since you can never be in someone elses thoughts or feelings? I always feel a tiny bit uneasy if someone says 'I know what you mean', not that I don't use that phrase every day of my life mind you, it is just when I say it or when I hear it from someone else I think 'do you?', 'do I?' and how do we know? Because sometimes I just KNOW I do know what the other person means, I always thought it was because it linked to something I can relate to which could be why it feels I know exactly what the other person means.

Maybe - watching the grammy's with half an eye and getting inspired - maybe it is like singing harmony. Have you ever done that? Sang a harmony with someone? You can sing 3 songs in canon and never harmonise and suddenly find someone who exactly matches your vibration, singing different notes but locking into yours making the song sound more than just a song sang together. Connecting together and feeling the 'I know what you mean' feeling.

And THAT is what I miss with my body, I am not sure I know what it is telling me, if anything. I would like to reach a state of understanding with my body so I can feel 'I know what you mean'

Thinks.. are there any 'belly-singing' classes?

House is the only programme to watch on Channel 5 on Thursdays! In fact it's probably the only programme to watch on Channel 5 full stop!

Well.. of course since I am a total TV addict I watched that TOO :-) and you are right FIVE is generally not very watchable but SOMETIMES you can find a nice snippet!

You've left out the most important program of them all; Home and Away!
