I think it's sad that people not only allow themselves to get to this stage with their bodies but worse that it takes themselves and their family so long to realise when it becomes a problem. As someone who has been there (lost five stone) I understand that losing weight and keeping it off is a hard job, and that the support plan from family should be there especially in the early stages, but the health and confidence benefits that you feel from it makes it so worthwhile.
