Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hi, sorry to be a downer, but I told my in-laws that I was having the surgery done on 19 June 2006. What a mistake, I had spent the next five hours being lectured to about trying harder and developing moral fibre, together with will power. It is such a lonely place to be when everybody around you thinks you are just a pathetic fat person who can't learn to say no to food. When will I ever learn to keep my my shut. Anway, i hope everybody else had a nice day off. Libby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Libby ... so very sad indeed. It is called ignorance and not being able to understand. Do you want to dumbfound them? I have a paper on ghrelin which I haven't put on the site yet. It is a hormone which stimulates appetite and is believed to be a major contributor to the obesity in our population. Ghrelin, leptin and genetic predisposition mean you have little control over your weight. I will get it up there - will try to do it tomorrow. Give it to them to read. they won't understand a word of it probably, but it's proof that this is not an issue of eating less and doing more and if it helps you to understand, it will be worth it all. Hang in there. BeverleeSend instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
