Good luck! I had bowel cancer 14 years ago. Constantly trying to lose my tummy that will never be the same again after op. But we're alive!

Good luck. No excuses mind you. Go slow and you’ll do it. (From a fellow chocolate lover).

Choccy is overrated.. I don't like it... now cheese??? That is quite different
