Reactions

People's reactions are funny. Some people have an instant negative reaction to me being on a diet, as they find the whole idea of having someone tell you that to lose weight you need to:

• Eat less
• Do more exercise

We all know this, it's really not that hard, to lose weight all you have to do is ensure that calories in < calories out. Well done, you win a prize (as my mum says, what do you want, a paper hat or a tin whistle?)! Most people seem to fall into the category of, "Why are *you"* doing Weight Watchers?". When I tell them I've lost 1st5lb in 10 weeks, they see that although I may not be overweight now, when I started I was towards of the weight bracket I should be in (at 1.73m or 5'8", I had a bmi of 24.4, your bmi should be between 20 and 25), and now I'm near the bottom. My partner has started complaining that I am too skinny, but I discovered that I was keeping track of my weight while I was working at the bank last year, and that I am only just below the weight I was then, which probably only goes to show the dramatic difference following Weight Watchers has had.
