As i sat in my surgery trying to gently encourage a 35 year old morbidly obese individual (BMI - 60) who is diabetic, and suffering from chronic back and knee pain to try gentle walking, stretches and a weight loss diet. I was told that us young skinny people had no idea what it was like.

    That's amazing, for her to think that you're younger than her is a nice compliment!
