Let Me Tell You A Bit About Myself

Ok. So, I'm 48 and I'm one of the getting rare "still" married women, who is pretty contented with her lot. And this is my favourite colour!
I had 5 years working as a Lecturer for Weight Watchers, which gave me a huge amount of experience in helping all sorts of people to lose weight and also to stay slim. I originally lost weight with them after having my second son and then did it again after my third.
Since leaving, I will admit that my weight has varied. It's hard. As you get older, it gets harder. No doubt about it.
I have 3 adorable sons.
I won't lie.
I would have dearly loved to have had a little girl to play with. I say play with, because I think that is just what I would have done. I used to have a doll, called Belinda, who I loved dearly and thoroughly enjoyed dressing and doing her hair. Had I had a girl, I'm sure that I would have been the same. In fact, if she had turned into a tomboy, I would have had a really hard time dealing with that.
But it wasn't to be. Instead, I had three of the most fabulous boys in the world. I love each one of them individually and adore and idolise them all. I'm extremely lucky to have a loving a close relationship with each of them and I'm even luckier to have raised them to love and honour each other. They are all so different, with their own quirks, but they all have the same deep rooted foundations of a good and caring human being, that I'm proud to be able to say, that my husband and I have instilled in them.
They all have something else in common. Actually, in common with my husband too. They're all SLIM!
I thank God for that, as I'd hate for my kids to have to put up with the same weight problems I have, but it does make it hard.
They have no understanding of what it's like to be overweight. The amount of times my hubby has told me that he "doesn't understand the problem! Stop eating and you'll lose weight!" Couldn't you just kill them!
