I (as children do) ignored my mother and went on eating for two, because I wanted my child to be healthy and if it meant that I was to over-eat then that is exactly what I was going to do. What does my mother know, after having six kids of her own, eh? I would over-eat, which would leave me gasping for air, and I would find it hard to relax as my stomach was t...
