This is a touchy subject Bebe. I grew up thin and made fun of my obese cousins. now I am the biggest of them all. I went on WW last year and lost 17 pounds. It took me six months. I exercised two hours a day in my pool and bought a pool heater to allow me to do this longer. Then I injured my knee by sitting in the back of the car for two days straight when I needed to attend a family funeral. Three months later, I had hip bursitis triggered by all the limping on the knee. I've gained back more than half of the weight I've lost. I don't like to leave the house anymore because people are mean. I will never travel by plane because of the stories I've read. It's very frustrating to be obese. It's not something to be taken lightly.
