DH invited his brother and wife to Sunday lunch this week. We hadn't seen them for a year when they came to Sunday lunch before (they don't do invites back). BIL& SIL are only a couple of years older than us respectively but we were shocked at how much weight they had gained and how much older they looked and sounded. They sat on the sofa and never moved except to the dining table (and the loo) for 6 hours despite it being quite nice in the garden and talked incessantly about food and wine and trips to supermarkets hither and yon. They take no exercise of any kind save a short walk for the daily paper (Express!!). I shot out yesterday bought some new trainers and am off to the gym to sign up. I've decided golf and walking aren't enough. They are now known as The Awful Warning.

I went to a school reunion after umpteen years of not seeing any school friends and noticed that the thin "girls" looked a lot older than the fat "girls" - and a lot happier!

Sorry, I meant that the fat "girls" looked happier - and a lot younger> I think the fat irons out the wrinkles.

Before I had the op to remove my gallbladder and gallstones, apples were one of the few things that helped me. That and porridge. Later I found some info that orchard fruits were recommended for problems with gall bladder.

varian they do say its 'face or figure' after 50 a little subcutaneous fat does push out the wrinkles so I'm keeping it - I'll never be thin anyway but I just want to stop the slow creep and maintain some flexibility and good mobility so its off to golf on a nice sunny day to work of the Strawberry Tea I had yesterday!! smile
