Out, out, damn cholesterol

I gave up cream and coconut and cashews (and several other things that didnt necessarily begin with the letter C).
I gave up sausage rolls and too many eggs - and therefore scotch eggs - boo!
I cut down on alcohol.
I started exercising - at least 25 minutes a day on my exercise bike and lots of improving walks (treks) at weekends.
And after 7 months of this new 'me' I had another blood cholesterol test and I had lost..... drumroll..... wait for it..... bugger all! point 2, thats all, point 2.
My cholesterol has gone from 7.2 to 7.0
My doctors verdict? 'Lifes not fair sometimes - here, take these pills'.
On the plus side I have lost nearly a stone in weight.
On the minus side I now own lots of baggy clothes.
So, what would you do when you received this devastating news?
I hope you would do what I did.
I went into my local specialist butcher and bought the biggest godamn scotch egg they had and scoffed it!
