Just been to visit a little old lady I know and she has that acid tongue a few elderly ladies develop. I know I've put a bit of weight on lately but she cocked her head on one side, looked at me and said 'Get on a diet and get some weight lost you big fat lump.' DIET STARTS TODAY. Arrrrrrgh.

Think i might have burst into tears Wendy, theres nothing worse you can say to woman lol

I held myself back with admirable restraint! She's 85 and usually she is an absolute sweetie but she has got a real thing about my weight.

Got to admit the self pity tears have sprung up but it has made me determined to do something about it. I don't want to keep hearing remarks like that but I can't just drop her either - she doesn't have anyone else to visit.

OH my god!!.......my gran is a bit tactless like that, she always tells me that my brother is her favorite and that she bares no grudges!!!1 I have never done anything to her, i am the one who visits her and she hates me!!

Donald - LOL YES PLEASE !!!!!

I've found a lot of old people are like that though - they either don't care or don't think

I hope I don't turn out like that.

Bendy..... I'll go on one with ya! - Just looked at the Norwich meet photo's and need to get into action FAST!!

Oh sweetie...here's a few ((((((((hugs))))))))) for you...and so maybe this thread could be changed to support you in your healthy eating programme...just like the smokers one!! Don't go on a diet Bendy Wendy...think of it now as your .... Healthy Eating Thread..... I will be here every day to help you if you like as I am sure others will too...a healthy members thread!! I had cereal with skimmed milk and a banana for brekkie today...what did you have? Anne :)))

You must be psychic Pink !! I was just thinking that for every pound I lose I'll put a pound in money into the Gaynor fund. That's a good enough incentive when the willpower wears off. I'm going to get on the scales when I get the courage up.

To be honest, I had three penguins - blush.

Oh, doesn't the truth hurt sometimes. It's usually children who make hurtful remarks like that. Anyway don't let it bother you, it wouldn't me. I've just seen a niece of mine who has lost 60 kilo, yes 60 kilo. She now looks like a little old woman. No, I'd sooner see her with some extra kilos. Sylvia xxx

3?????? Well...tomorrow just the one!! lol Anne :)))

Oh dear Wendy !! luckily I can laugh it off (hence the 'chunks' nickname) but I understand how hurtful it can be. That said, Sharon and I both decided yesterday to try and lose a bit more weight (lost a stone last year), so we're with you in spirit...

Anne, they were on special offer - I couldn't help myself.

I know what you mean chuck...this buy one get one free is the reason for my weight gain...can't resist and then I have to eat them before the date runs out....well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it !! lol Anne :)))

Thanks Paul - maybe I should join the weight loss thread. Is that still going ? Anne - iot's so hard to resist, isn't it ?

can't remember seeing it for a while ? Start a new one maybe ? But everyone has to put their starting weight down - and no lying ! hehehe

Went to visit an aunt od Alans yesterday, only the second time i've met her , last time about 3 years ago (we think) ' Didn't you used to be blonde?.....' I still am, we'll, I thought i was - and its natural - and for someone rapidly approachng 50....thought i was doing quite well! jess
