awesome response. For me, I didn't even realize that I had gained so much weight. I knew I was bigger, but my wakeup call was my friend who had not seen me in years. It doesn't happen overnight.
I think with all of the diet options that we have available now (for me it was simply eliminating most carbs, i ate a crap-ton of meat) and totally eliminating sugar and switching to a low-carb beer.
I lost nearly 20 kg but now exercise a lot more than i did before. I wasn't really capable of much exercise at 106 kg.
Judy, i'm afraid to broach the subject with her, because I don't know her very well. I do see her at the pub on a regular basis sucking down 6 ciders though and that is also one of the worst things you can do.
If it was a wakeup call for her, I don't know if it will trump her love for food and drink and you know what? If that makes her happy and she is willing to accept the consequences of being fat then I am not going to try to talk her out of it.... it is her life afterall. I just just like for someone to talk about how they are on a diet and then suck down 2000 calories for a "snack"... What would she have eaten if she wasn't on this diet? haha
