Cake Watchers

[AuntieMaryHadACanary]

I have had enough of trying to be thin. Or even a bit thinner. I'm not massive but I am bigger than I should be. Its just too hard to lose weight. And I'm getting older - 41. And DH doesn't give a damn (God love him) Who has accepted their bodies, embraced their chubster self and stuck two fingers up at the world of thin? Come on women give some support to my fatty self

Fascinating GarlicShake. Not sure if I mentioned this earlier, but the university I work for is conducting a few similar studies (but aimed at the Arab population) and have had similar results. Especially in terms of identifying genes that put you at greater risk of obesity and Type II Diabetes.

I have to say my own experiences have been sadly similar. I've lost weight, and then put it back on even though I'm eating less and exercising more then I did when I was thin.

Right now I am losing weight (slowly but surely) because I'm on ADHD meds that greatly reduce my appetite, but I don't know if that's a permanent side effect or not. :/
