Smoking, drinking, obesity. It has become excepable to confront and insult people who choose to live there lives.

It is the media and the goverment that lead these attacks with kids brainwashed over smoking into the foot soldiers of the give up legion, and those appaling get thin shows on the tele that have the same value to society as freak shows.

I wonder how much money is spent on making people stop drinking, smoking, and getting thin compaired to money spent on helping people quit all other drugs.

I think if someone asks me about something, then I'll comment, but I wouldn't dream of walking up to an alcoholic and start berating them over what it was doing to their liver etc. I believe it's common courtesy. Something we do seem to be lacking more and more.

Well done, keep up the good work

I lost nearly 2 stone last summer and for the most part I have kept it off but its not easy.

Like you say we just have to re-educate our eating patterns and the odd treat now and again is ok

Otherwise what is the point of living if I cant indulge myself with chocolate (thats my demon!) as a treat

Its such a great feeling to go down from a size 18 to a size 14 - Yah!! and a good excuse to go shopping

I think the real thing is re-educating my mind in psychological aspects. I know this isn't going to be all plain sailing, but I think writing about things when they are going well helps to give you a boost when you look back when things aren't going quite so well!

I'm already able to fit back into all the size 24 things in my wardrobe that I was honestly struggling to fit into a month ago. I know I have a long way to go, but it's too big a target to simply say I want to be a 14, so for now every dress size is my only target to consider!

White bread is mine - and I even had some this week - and I loved every mouthful!

Congratulations on your weight loss - I hope you are reaping all of the benefits fully!

Everyone has their own beauty, weight has never made me feel less attractive, this is about health for me.

Banned for laughing? They're such sensitive little flowers, bouncers, aren't they?

Good luck with the diet anyway. I tried going on a 1500 calorie-a-day diet one time years ago, just out of curiousity. I couldn't stick it for more than a week! I do like my grub.

(Incidentally I'm bang in the middle of the healthy BMI range, so obviously being slim has nothing to do with self-control!)

I think I'd rather stay fat!

It's a strange one, as I genuinely am eating more than I ever have done before. I'd always worked on the basis of calories in v's calories out, I definitely don't understand why this diet works - but it does!
