Why your thin friends don’t get fat and your fat friends don’t stay thin…
<p>A few weeks ago, with a heavy heart and all the enthusiasm of… well, actually, with no enthusiasm at all, I went and joined my local <em>Slimming World</em> group. Again. My weight has been creeping up and I realised that I was getting a bit out of breath while doing energetic things like bending over and walking up the stairs.</p>
<p>As you have guessed by now, in the words of the title of this blog, I would count as a fat friend.</p>
<p>Experience tells me that if I work at it I can definitely lose some weight. I could become a thin friend. Or at least a thinner friend. What I’m not at all sure about is how much weight and whether I can stay a thin friend. Experience tells me that chances are, I will find that I can’t. Or at least, not for very long. In fact, the whole losing weight thing could turn out, in a few years, to be somewhat counterproductive.</p>
