He is lucky to have a good paying job at such a young age :eek:
BrightonBelle you are an absolute starI managed to make some lovely yoghurt using your instructions and I am so impressed by how light it is. Even my OH is really impressed too :A I hope all goes well with your meds and well done on selling your pieces :T I'm even more annoyed now that I didn't find the place. Sounds like my kinda stuff
Lois Lane I didn't listen but sorry it had a bad effect on you, some people seem to treat Obese children and adults like lepers and would probably treat dogs better than human beings.Such a shame the world is this way. Hope you have a better day tomorrow

because it means you have to face up to and admit you had become a blobzilla, that you had a problem, that you where in denial, and a 1000 and one other issues ...
and that there's still so far to go ...

Eric I think you need to stop looking at it being so bad and turning it in to a positive. Yes as you put it you had turned into a "blobzilla" but you have done something about it. People are noticing and commenting because you have done so well and I am sure they will continue to comment as you go even further. So take their supporting comments and use it to push yourself forward when you are feeling down and disheartened.
Also great news about your good week and 21lbs will soon go at your rateRestarting C25K in 2014 - Week 8 - 1/3 completed

Would love to see more action on obese kids tho, not being taken into care or anything as extreme as that, but how about educating the parents, encouraging healthy eating etc etc etc.
My Mum could have done with some advice to help me lose weight - she's always been underweight so she really didn't know what to do. I'm 1 of 5 children and the only one that was obese, although we all ate the same things, which were reasonably healthy. She did try replacing bread with Energen rolls, but they were like cardboard and only palatable if I piled on plenty of butter! :rotfl:alliwantistosave wrote: »Lois Lane I didn't listen but sorry it had a bad effect on you, some people seem to treat Obese children and adults like lepers and would probably treat dogs better than human beings.Such a shame the world is this way.

Thanks - it did affect me quite a lot, the callers didn't seem to have any thought for the poor children they were talking about putting in care. I'm happy today.
You're right about people's attitude to the obese - being overweight is often associated with laziness and greed, and those labels don't apply to everyone.
