Fed up with being fat

[Rosiebelle17]

Hi I used to be very slim and today I caught sight of my back and thought I looked like an elephant

Aw @Rosiebelle17 - I do feel for you, but you've made us smile with your mistake. I think you might need Laurence Llewellyn Bowen to give you a rub down and some sort of distressed finish! It'll add value!

there's lots of brilliant support threads in the weight-loss area of mumsnet that you will find helpful. probably the Property/DIY section isn't the best place for this thread though!

best advice I saw - start right now. don't plan to start on a specific day in the future after X is out of the way. just start.

set small achievable goals. losing 4 stone is big and scary. calculate how much you need to lose to get your BMI down by 1.0 from its current level. then do it again as many times as is necessary.
