It was a set menu.

We just started with the main course.

And dessert, I remember it well, was lemon cheesecakes.

There were 10 lemon cheesecakes on the table.

Nine of us ate them and one person didn't.

And the waitress who was looking after us all night, loveliest woman ever, at the end said, does nobody want this?

And then picked up the side plate and said, you'll have that, won't you?

And at that point, I'm not a confrontational person.

I said to her, are you going to offer it to anyone else at this table or just the top one?

That's the type of stuff people don't even realise they're doing it until they've done it.

And I've lived with that for so many years.

It's always there.

In the underbelly society, this aesthetic thing that we're all supposed to strive towards, you are judged on how you look.

And I feel so sorry for Seema that she has to put up with this as well.

But blokes get it too.

And I just felt the need to chime in on that because it does happen.

Oh, I developed, my lymphatic system wasn't working properly because I was so morbidly obese at 31 stone that I developed cellulitis in my legs.

And that made me very ill.

I got sepsis.

I was on the list for surgery while I was in the weight management clinic in Locketown Hospital.
