Slimming Homour from our Members

After shedding a surplus stone, I felt I needn't lose any more weight - but, well maybe my bottom was still a bit on the big side?  Seeking a second opinion but not wanting to give anything away I asked my mother.  "Don't you think I've lost a lot of weight"?  Before she could answer my kid brother piped up "Look behind you and you'll find it".

How about this pearl from one member "I'm not fat - I'm big boned but  by cutting out biscuits and cakes I can be small boned!!!

On holiday in Blackpool one members two small daughters wanted to go on the fun fair.  So they piled into a sweet little car for a trip round Wonderland.  Horror of horrors, on the gentle slope up the ramp, the car stopped dead, smoke pouring from its wheels, and they were stuck in full view of the crowd.  One of the attendants came up, gave the car an almighty push and words of comfort "It's alright, you're just overloaded".  The crowd cheered as we pulled away.and a dieter was born!!

Another member who slipped and fell, spraining her ankle, found that she had slipped on one flat and sorry looking chip and realized that they had always been her downfall!!

A member was pleased to be invited to a cousins wedding and felt quite good in the mint green suit she had made, even though it was a size 18.  She says "I know I was on the big side but still it was no real problem.  Then came the hearty public greeting from the best man, who was someone who I had worked with several years earlier".  "Hello Jane" Peter boomed pleased to see me, "you haven't changed a bit - still as fat as ever".  Dieting started at the reception.

What started you on your diet?  Could it be like one member who jumped into her ancient mini and fell straight through the floor!!

At a wedding reception a slimmer was strong mindedly helping herself to lean ham and salad when a large lady came up, "You must be mad passing up all the goodies" she said as she piled her plate up, "I don't worry about my weight , it's silly!"  The slimmer was almost convinced, but as the lady moved away and sat down, her chair collapsed and judging by her very red face, she will worry about her weight from now on!

We would love to hear from any members who have humorous  tales to tell, please do let us know.
