[QUOTE="Arab Horse, post: 1746943, member: 136328"] Thank you [USER=372207]@Antje77[/USER] for your kind words. T was VERY active, worked in a lab so on my feet most of the day rushing around and often didn't have time to have a break all day and you can't eat or drink in a lab. When I was diong a part time job for the council and had to go to peoples' homes to chase them up for filling in their forms I went to a house and there was a women there (probably in her early 40s) who couldn't leave the house as she was so fat. I found it very sad as she had no life; I stayed a while and we chatted; she was pre diabetic but said she couldn't go to the DESMOND evening as she was too big for the chairs. She had a husband and daughter at home (but both out at work all day) and I felt so sorry for her as her weight was robbing her of her life. She was a good 20 miles from me so not someone I could "pop in and see". I gave her my email address and asked her keep in touch as she seemed to have no help with her weight problem and knew it was a problem and wanted help but she never got back to me. I wish I had taken her email (I couldn't keep her details as that would breach the rules of my contract) but when I see very fat people I do think of her and hope she got some help. Blame an insults only make matters worse. I know when my sister is particularly rude to me I do come home and often have chocolate. Don't tell me not to see her (I keep telling myself that) as I am the only one left in the family who sees her; even her own children don't as she was a rotten mother, and I worry that if I turned my back as well she could die alone.
