OBESITY
« on: 23:36:55, 14/12/06 »
So the powers that be are offering stomach stapling to morbidly obese children, where all else has failed, obesity reportedly will be costing the NHS so much because of this that the government realises that the issue is of paramount priority.  Well wouldn't it help to cut down the number of adverts for food on TV, and what about all those cooking programmes, the channels are full of them, lashings of cream and rich sauces - all in your face if you can't reach the remote quick enough, what do you think would help?

I went Christmas Shopping with my daughter yesterday....All Day..I was exhausted!! She has lost loads of weight recently through stress..and is now just under eight stone. When I look at her I find it difficult to believe that I weighed a little over six stone in my late teens. I so wanted to be fatter in those days.....they do say 'be careful what you wish for!!'  :(

Don't worry...in the New Year we will be back to our sylph like former selves. :o I have already come up with a slogan for our Health and Fitness Features in the New Year..."Look like Heaven in 2007!!" Remember you saw it here first. :) (I am now looking for an 'Angel' costume!! - with pom poms :D)
