I thought about going to the gym but lay down until the feeling passed (Oscar Wilde perhaps?). I used the weight watchers book (not the meetings) and lost two stones (28Lb) some two years ago. I have still kept most of it off because, I think, my tastes and attitude to volume changed (I am still overweight however but not obese).

This week on damn daytime TV (I have just retired too) there was an article about John Lewis (retail store in the UK) they are committed to using only models size 12 and upwards and have dropped the size zero ethos. too slim don't look heathy to me either!
