Most of us are lardy compared to Sparks and I wouldn't mind but he never stops eating..

Where is the justice in that????

I was painfully thin as a teenager and my mate's boyfriend used to call me Spindle because of my skinny legs. I hated it and never, never wore skirts, shorts or anything that would show my legs in case I invited comments about how skinny I was.

Luckily I did put some weight on when I got into my 20's and managed to fill out a bit. Now, in my late 30's, it seems that I am still filling out a bit..

My excuse is that I find it difficult to sit and watch Sparks eating a nice dessert in a restaurant and not have one too...

I know totally where Slinky is coming from because I used to find the comments about my weight and skinny legs hurtful..
Now I just find the comments about my lardy arse and wobbly bits hurtful..
