Since my ankle injury I have shed an appreciable amount of weight.

Well, excellent! Assuming that it was good that you lost that weight.

Good thing yes. A little overweight.

That's good news! I think you hit the nail on the head when you said about not having access to fast food. Whenever I've eaten fast
food in the past, it just seemed that the pounds would creep up. Don't eat out now like I used to. Noticed it's easier to keep
the weight off.

Forced to stay at home and cook my own meals. Difficult hobbling around so meals are as simple as can be.
Even something as simple as sardines on toast.
I was on antibiotics for two weeks which seemed to suppress my appetite somewhat.
Plus changed my diet to attempt to lower my cholesterol numbers.

That's very good about the weight, every gray cloud has a silver lining. I hope your ankle has healed nicely and not causing you any pain or discomfort.

Not healing well at all. Had an infection. Treated. Foot is well swollen and mildly painful.

Sorry to hear that, I hope the swelling subsides and the pain gets better. Please take care.

A blessing? I am a bit overweight and I keep thinking about the severe case of diarrhoea I had whilst in Burkina Faso. I ended up eating nothing but mangoes for a couple of weeks and lost a LOT of weight. I secretly wish for another bout.

It is a blessing for sure. Same thing happened when I was diagnosed with Cirrhosis 30 years ago, I lost 10kg, 22lb in 2 weeks.

When I lived in a student commune in OZ we occasionally ate ... what's it called? ... that weed that grew just about everywhere.

Cripes! It's time for you to write a book! You can call it, "How to Slim On The Cheap".

Yes. Go out and catch a debillitating disease periodically

I know what you mean. Hungry Jack’s chooks & chips is difficult to resist.
