Dear Slimming...

Q Why Doesnıt My Hubby Like Me Slim?

I have tried to lose weight for years with little or no success. Then a few months ago I made a determined effort and the weight just dropped off. Thankfully, I now find it quite easy to stick to a low-fat diet.

I feel great but my husband hates the new me. He sneers all the time and moans that Iıve become a diet bore. Iım so hurt, especially as I feel so much more sexy and loving toward him. He, by the way is slightly overweight, but I adore him. Any ideas what I can do?

Q Why wonıt my pals let me stop drinking?

Iım at college and while Iım careful about what I eat, Iıve put weight on by going out to bars all the time. What can I do?

Q Must I quit my job to lose weight?

Help! Iım 30 years old, 5-feet-6 inches, weigh 200 pounds and am really desperate to lose weight, but I find it virtually impossible to follow a calorie-controlled diet because of my job. Iım a saleswoman and I spend all week travelling and entertaining clients. Thereıs so much temptation. Can you help me?
