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...

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

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.

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

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!!

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.

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.

**Sheesh

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.
