I do similar most lambing times, much to Mrs NeilO's disgust.
I was looking for another hole to tighten my belt this morning, to stop my trousers falling down. Having nearly finished lambing, I guess I'll just have to gain a few pounds again instead.

The mrs goes to weight watchers and looks at me in similar disgust

I always think it's a bit of both.

My record was 3/4 of a stone over a (long) YFC agm weekend in Blackpool. Boss's wife was trying all sorts of diets at the time, and I trumped it with a weekend of alcohol and 8 hours sleep, spread over 3 nights so as not to overdo the sleeping.
Not sure such a diet would be conducive to a long life though...

I smoked when I was younger and went to the pub more nights than I stayed in didn’t carry much weight then

Lad I knew had a 'curvy' wife that used to go to Weightwatchers every Friday night, and always apprehensive about the weekly weigh in.
He used to look forward to Friday nights as it was always a good chippy tea on the way back.

We joined a gym years ago I used to go on a night in the winter a few nights a week, give myself hell for an hour and a half on the way home stop at the shop and eat 4 wispa chocolate bars
Apparently it’s something you learn at times like lambing when you are run down tired you learn to crave and feed yourself on chocolate or something sweet to put yourself right so you can keep going
There was an army marine living next door he was telling me about it when I mentioned this

this is exactly why our native breeds of cattle, sheep and pigs, carried a lot of fat, it was a reliable source of cheap energy, for the manual worker.

manual work in many trades, has reduced, just as the demand for that cheap energy has. And is why so many of are native breeds are now 'rare'. Basically they became obsolete, because owners and breed societies, wouldn't/couldn't move with the changing mkt, AA or Herefords did, and look where they are now, huge numbers, across the world.

I’ve had friends who have done both it’s usually nearly broken their farming business marriage and health. We’ve often fancied a pub when one has come up for sale locally but couldn’t help but think it was a bad idea

A lot more comfortable wearing braces rather than keep tightening a belt until you want a c**p in a hurry!

I wasn’t joking either I’ve been thinking a lot about it tbh. As I have got a little older I think it has a detrimental effect of health

Wife is a bit older than me and used to take the pee out of me about looking too young for her it's stopped in the past year or so. In the last month or two teasing me about aging faster than her and having to trade me in for a younger model.
Sent wife a picture of me and the littlest one checking sheep last week and I didn't recognise myself I looked like sh!t. Looking at pictures from last year I've aged 10 years in the past 6 months.It's been a hard winter but f**k me

You lost 3/4 stone after a weekend on the beer? A awful lot of calories in beer is there not.

We were burning a lot of calories off to be fair.

Heart attack juice. Lad I know always on it had 7 cans on a night out when he was driving and had a heart attack in toilets 28 year old. I have never drank any since. People need to take care of themselves. I always try get at least 8 hours per night so lambing time is a shock to my body

Ive never drank red bull and never will , poison and pay to poison yourself ..
