I gather you didn't see 'fat' people around during or after WW2 - food rationing meant there wasn't the food in the shops!!

I really am too short. <br /><br />And I love that you solved the problem.

As a result, my metabolism is so screwed up that I can't lose weight easily at all. I've given up trying. Russell loves me as I am and is a self admitted 'chubby chaser'.

I know, don't shoot me. But it has its disadvantages, I promise. Things still sag or re-distribute as you nicely put it, but with me it's not held firm by a bit of padding, so the wrinkles and floppy bits look even worse. We're never satisfied are we? Anne, I think you look wonderful! Keep on being easily lead, that's what I say :-)Anne Macklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635857544175826537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453833569907892604.post-28743714358402829782013-04-26T11:49:24.864+01:002013-04-26T11:49:24.864+01:00Hahaha I am too short too! :DHahaha I am too short too! :DAnne Macklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635857544175826537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453833569907892604.post-88409668798422492602013-04-26T10:02:24.931+01:002013-04-26T10:02:24.931+01:00Yes, me three!
