This is a good one. I voted other.
I got lots of hints from everybody.
It went in one ear and out the other ear for a few years.
Then the doctor wrote down 2 sentences and that did it for me.
I did notice signs of being overweight, but did not want to pay attention
to them.

It's hard I think to hear from others Aileen,
What was it your doctor said that made you accept it & deal with it right away ?
So glad you did because look how well you are dsoing now, YaY!
What does he say about how well you are doing ?
Bet he is thrilled too :)

The doctor had a pleasing look that I did better than he expected.
He wrote down that regular exercise and losing the weight would help
prevent the diabetes and other problems. The time he wrote that down was
Oct 2006 and this time it went in one ear and stayed there. I listened this time Hugs or
I would be in deep trouble.

No doubt he would be gentle Suzan,
Good thing he doesn't have to say anything though
I think we recognize it in ourselves most of the time ..
It's just a matter of doing something about it :)
