Thank you so much for understanding me. I am afterall 34 yrs mum of three. i feel like i am constantly battling with food and exercise. (I walk everywhere!!!! in London, from home to work= 1hr45min) yet i am slowly creeping up. Just really want and end to it. I compare it with having diabetes, one could be constantly monitoring ones sugar intake but surely it is made easier with insulin injections. why cant people see over weight as a problem until it becomes deadly and has rid u of all your selfconfidence? Anyway, thanks again
