Awake and up all night

It's a mental health issue. It's when someone, even if they're stunning, doesn't see themself as that and can go to extremes to 'improve' what they deem imperfections in their appearance. Complicated for the sufferers, unfortunately xxx

thank you gill. there is a lady at the art group i go to and she is 76 and has lost alot of weight she wants to lose more but i think she should stop. 

Aw that's not good for the poor soul. It probably affects more people than any of us know about but it's a case of them recognising their issues first, maybe then they can be helped. When it's not somebody close there probably isn't much you can do my lovely xxx

thanks gill. i think their is alot of pressure these days on people to be slim and perfect. my friend pat thinks my niece is going through a crisis she has got a 21 year old daughter who is very glamorous loads of make up hair extensions short skirts. i  think she wants to be like her.

That's possible hon. Nobody wants to morph into an old crow but I don't give a monkey's what I look like anymore. In fact I'm happy to strut around and swagger but that's because I'm now a member of the invisible crowd - nobody looks once you're past it!

i am the same gill i am 11 stone and proud of it i wear anyything i want. i dont worry what i look like.

Attagirl Sonia! That's the best way to go and well done you. I brim with confidence and it gets me by. If folk don't like what they see, stop looking. Simple.

I wonder where Milkey Steve's got to? Do you think us two old birds have put him off?

i was wondering about milkey he didnt stay long. i think i put him off talking about women who want to lose weight.

 You always make me laugh hon. I'm grinning while I type. Brilliant! xxx

well gill i am off to bed cant keep my eyes open. night night my lovely.xxx
