My weight has fluctuated wildly as an adult from a low of 10 st 10 lbs as a student to a high of 16 st 7 lbs just after my mum died when I was eating a lot, drinking a lot and exercising very little.
I was a horribly thin student with sunken cheeks, protruding ribs and arms and legs that looked like Wiggo's. My party trick was to take one of those large rolls of Selloptape, slip it over my wrist and then slide it right the way up to my armpit! Now, one would only go as far as the wrist and then get stuck.
I'm just under 16 stone now and carrying a lot of body fat. I don't like it.
I know exactly what it feels like to be a sensible weight, slim and fit - I've passed through that weight and fitness level many times on the way up and on the way down.
I don't handle stress well. The truth is that my weight is not going to stay stable until my lifestyle is stable. I'm stressed. I'm fat. Next question!
