Hi Valerie. Popping in to subscribe. It is really hard to lose weight, as you know. The family tell me I am being really weird and difficult with my eating. Thing is they need to adjust to you too. There is more in life than eating and drinking together. Now I look for different things to do - go out for a walk, shopping, SW picnics, rather than all food related activities like the pub, restaurants, cinema. This is a life style change. And I believe in the long run, I am improving everyone's quality of life and adding more years to my life too! Good luck xx
