I haven't yet read the article - and realise that it's probably about time I joined in with this forum as I've been maintaining for over a year now - but ... YES! Me!

So far I've managed to resist over-indulging to a large extent, but am increasingly aware that it's something I would just simply LOVE to do!

My husband is the type who if he goes on a diet he thinks of nothing but food and rebels, but left to his own devices he cuts down and loses. it's the whole ''diet'' thing that gets to him.

me, on the other hand, I do better by thinking i am on a ''diet''. And i'll be on a ''diet'' for the rest of my life, even when i dont want to lose weight (apart from the times when i will come off my ''diet'', because I still want my episodes of not thinking about this and just succumbing! if i cant have them then i wont continue!) I'm going to have watch what I eat and what i weigh FOREVER!

i've always said that even when we all lose our weight we are always prone to putting it back on easily, as that is how we are made - it's in us to get big. We are the chosen ones!!!

the amount of extra fat cells we make is unbelieveable, i read an article which said they all just waiting there to be filled up again - thats pretty depressing, but it's a fact we can't ignore.

I liken losing weight to saving up money and buying something great at the end.

We wouldnt save up our hard earned money for a year then buy something and take a hammer to it and smash it up, so we don't really want to do this and then ruin it all at the end as it took so long to save up for. We might knock it a few times, but we'd fix it.
