Most of my life(with the exception of before pubity)I have ranged between 8.1/2 and 9.1/2 stone.Until I got breast cancer at 52 & had to come off HRT & stop smoking.Hence I put on 3 stone.I then was diagnosed with osteoarthritis as well,& needed a knee replacement.Thank god I was given the all clear last September for the breast cancer & I am walking well on the new knee.But I have had to retire.Apart from the fact that I am 60, I'm not really fit enough with the arthritis to work as a Florist.The trouble is I hate being fat,it really pulls me down physically & emotionally.I have lots of other problems, financial,family,& healthwise,& I just can't seem to get stuck into a good eating plan,although I know from experience that it would make me feel so much better,being fit.I just can't get my willpower back.I'm normally so strong,when I make up my mind,I do it.I'm now nearly l3 stone,hate looking in the mirror,only food & alcohol seem to cheer me,I sleep a lot, to block it all out.Help!!

I know your going to say,until you sort out your other problems,you won't be able to stick to an eating plan, but my other problems aren't solvable,there long term.I've got DVD's on everything to try & make you feel better,diet books galore and even hypnosis tapes, I've joined weight watchers, slimming magazine, but nothing seems to work.Anyone out there got a solution to get rid of this awful fat. My sex life's completely gone out the window,and I don't want to socialize anymore even when I can afford to go.I just hate the way I look, it's making my life hell and me hell to live with.
