I’m feeling motivated and positive

However - why do people think you would be a better person if you were thin?  People have the power to crush another person and sometimes they don't mean it!!  Wish I could do that with some of the Dilberts I sometimes meet!!!!

I met an old friend the other day who had their son with them - and mum said "this is ....., you've not seen him for a while either and he's not so thin now"  The poor lad - I thought he was either gonna cry or deck her!!  She knew she'd embarrassed him and he was trying to laugh it off but I could see that it hurt - and these are the exact reasons why some people struggle with their weight.  Bugger you then, I'll eat more cake or bugger you I won't eat lose weight then put it all and some back on!!

 And while I'm on a rant - how come giving up smoking is supported by the NHS but they wont help us extra eaters!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ARGH  I know how hard it is for people to give up smoking, the lovelylady at our post office is going through fingernails, patches, lozenges and friends trying to give up!!

Last time I went to the Drs feeling fat and frumpy she put me on pills!!  She very gently suggested that I move more and go and join a weight loss club.  They should be less subtle, have signs up on walls like the signs of stroke/do you have type 2 diabetes/do you have trouble making friends posters.  But these should read oi!! move more!/no I won't give you pills I'll give you advice/come in and let me shout at you "shop eating crap"

But of course they won't - even in these clubs they are all smiley, no-one has ever sat me down and said, you are not ill, your body works fine, you are not a medical phenomenon you eat more calories than you use and you need to find very simple ways to move more!  Simples
