MadasaFish: totally spot on. You need to put the work in to keep your body in shape, just as we put work in to the garden to keep it productive and beautiful.

The best thing for me was selling my car. I HAVE to walk or cycle everywhere. Consequently I've stayed the same weight, more or less, for over 20 years. I'm by no means a paragon of virtue: I binge like mad at Xmas, and have to work hard to shift that sherry/cake/pudding-belly in January, but that's the payback for pigging out.
