She's a higher risk of heart disease than I probably ever will be!!!!

Funny you should say that because when a friend of mine was on the heart ward in Blackburn there wasn't one fat person in there. If anything they were either underweight or "normal".

Now it's funny that you reckon I should eat more - you aren't the only one to have said that but that is in stark contrast to the opinion expressed that fat = lack of willpower. I know I should eat more fruit and should have bought some today but it's been a funny day.
