Well done for recognising what isn’t working. So much shame and embarrassment is attached to weight that it becomes almost impossible to break that pattern of diet/fail/binge. Your current approach of relearning your body’s needs sounds much more hopeful. You are a gorgeous woman at any size.  Enjoy your child, your life and your food and see what happens! Best of luck to you!

@guest2  And people living on a government benefit or with irregular or insecure work struggle to save anything at the end of the week. Many of those who have been stood down as a result of COVID have  been without income for some time.

It may work for some young women. The threat of impotence may work for some young men. The recent campaign showing parents the impact their diagnosis would have on their children may work for some parents. There will never be any approach that works for everyone- niche marketing is always going to be the way to go.

I can imagine (with difficulty) circumstances in which a non-custodial sentence might be appropriate for a young rapist. I can easily imagine circumstances where the fact that the victim had lied about the eventss surrounding the attack might be relevant to the verdict (not the sentence) in a rape case. What I cannot imagine is a circumstance where the victim's prior sexual history (real or alleged) or lies to the police or even the court is relevant to the sentence for the ADMITTED rapist. That the judge referenced the victim's character in discussion of the sentencing sends an appalling and all too familiar message. There is a reason that Jill Maher's killer started his career attacking prostitutes; this view that a "less pure" victim equals a less serious crime.
