    spud - if I lost enough weight to be a size 16 (I'd be happy at that!!!) I would seriously consider a tummy tuck. It's the only surgery I'd ever consider. It's a major op. but one I would think about.

    I do like that jacket but not sure about the red? I love red but it does look better on dark hair rather than blond

    My take on the weight loss thingy....I was skinny for years and could eat what I wanted....like Becky I saw food as fuel and ate when I was hungry and nothing else.

    Since I was thirty my weight has slowly gone up. When I had chloe my weight went up I lost my job and my emotional eating was out of control...I tried Slimming world, weight watchers, websites, exercise and a nutritionist....nothing worked - and it didn't work because I didn't even know I was eating - I thought I was just normal.

    However, when I went on CD and all choices were taken away from me it became very clear why I ate and why I ate what I did and when.

    I am not saying I am cured of emotional eating but it has certainly helped..and yes I might have the odd creme egg or two but I think twice now before making a choice of food.

    I can't eat as much as I did and I appear to have lost my taste for ready made meals and take aways....

    And it worked out cheaper food wise....
