"I'M LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER TO MY WEIGHT PROBLEM"
Please could you give me some advice. I live in south-western France and moved here in 1997. I have one child who goes to school locally and another who has left home and works in Paris. I have always considered myself to be obese and have tried hard to find a way to lose weight, not just because my husband hates me being fat but because I am tired of being out of breath and looking awful in clothes. Please don’t tell me just to start eating sensibly as I’ve tried that and I just don’t have the willpower. If I was still in England, I’d probably go to Weight-Watchers or Slimming World but there is nothing here and my French isn’t good enough to join a French club. I am starting to look on the Internet for some appetite-stopping drugs and wondered if you could advise me if this is a good way to lose weight? I feel that if I can’t lose weight that way, I’m going to have to look into surgery as my life is passing me by without any hope of me feeling better.
