I used to get this but since I started using Sanex gel antiperspirant deodorant it is no longer a problem and I feel clean and fresh and no rash or smell. I also use it where my tummy hangs down and in leg creases.It really works.

Re Breastfeeding. My breasts were bigger than my babies heads, and I breastfed no problem. They have specially designed noses to cope, so don't worry!!

Enjoy breastfeeding your baby, it's the best single thing you can do to protect your babies health and future weight.

Bottlefed babies are 10 times more likely to be admitted to hospital. And Breastfed babies are less likely to become obese children.

It may be hard at first, but you have to persevere. Get in tough with La Leche League if you need help, they're excellent.

It took me 6 weeks to get the hang of breastfeeding, but I didn't give up. So let us know how you get on.

Is the opposite of Anorexia yet been officially recognised? Or are we larger people just supposed to be in denial? But isn't that just what Anorexia is?

Reply:
It's my understanding that the mind set is the same for over-eaters as it is for anorexics and that the treatment would therefore be the same, that being the sort of treatment which works on self esteem etc. If you read the Weight Management with Dieting on www.fatisthenewblack.com you will see this sort of recommendation. There are more clinics for eating disorders now than there ever were with, I believe, more over eaters than anorexics on their books and more men than anyone would have thought - its' interesting to note aswell that more of the "attendents" at such clinics are so-called "high-powered" "intelligent" "middle class" people - this I find particularly interesting as often one reads that fat is an issue for a so-called "lower social class" - in fact, the more you look into it and the more you read about it the whole subject, virtually everything is the opposite to the current thinking propogated by government and media alike
