Hey there...just thought that I would send some words of encouragement. If you want it bad enough, you will succeed, I know that this saying doesn't really imply to a lot of things in life, but a few years ago I went from being a slim/trim athletic teenager, then a gained 20 kgs in next to no time...and I hated it, I come from a really weight conscious family, and I got crap about it everyday. However, bit by bit I lost weight, I didn't do any diets, just eventually I got sick of seeing what I saw in the mirror...so bit by bit I lost the 20 kg's. It wasn't just about image, it was about self esteem and being happy...well I just wanted to wish you well there. Truly. Sorry for blabbing on about myself, just wanted to let you know, that it takes a while sometimes and it's a slow process, some people have this ability to go on crash diets and look fantastic in such a short time, but one thing is that I eat properly and healthy now and I've kept it off, and I don't think that crash diets are the way to go really...but you'll get there, just take it as one day at a time ;) good luck
