Oh Ernestine! I really needed this. I am on a mission myself to lose about thirty pounds or so (not sure what that is in kilos or stones) .

A clever and amusing piece containing lots of truth. Ernestine, this is a fine write. It made me laugh and not want to look in the mirror at my overweight body! All the best, an old, fat Yank, Hugh
