Reflecting on Mark’s consultation

Mark and the nurse discuss his lifestyle.

Diet

  • I have no time to think about cooking proper meals these days as I’m out in the taxi trying to make ends meet.
  • I’ve been eating takeaways for years now and it hasn’t done me any harm.
  • I just don’t think I could give up my sausage suppers as it is one of the few pleasures I have in my life right now.

Physical activity

  • It’s pretty difficult fitting exercise in round work but I actually do feel I could do with a bit more exercise in the day.
  • My mate Adam has asked me to join his walking club. I’m thinking I might join it.
  • Colin down at the taxi rank thinks our job is too sedentary and he is right.

Alcohol

  • I used to drink alcohol to excess years ago but I generally I rarely drink now.
  • I am really pleased I have managed to stop my binge drinking in recent years.
  • It saves me so much money now I that I hardly drink.
