Dear East Dulwich Forum Administrator I'd like to talk seriously about Weight Control (if permitted) I hope this is the space...


The majority of weight loss approaches typically tend to look more at exercise programing, how much exercise and/or how often for example. There is also plenty of emphasis out there on the intricacies of a diet plan and its relative effectiveness for our weight lose ambitions. But less if any attention is given to behavioural aspects of weight loss. If 'eat less-move more' was as 'black and white' to implement for the masses as the analogy suggests then weight loss would be easy. But it simply isn't.


One of the major differences between a person wanting to lose weight and someone wanting to stop smoking for example is that smokers can literally erase that behaviour completely, whereas to lose weight you can?t stop eating- you have to eat several times a day, so in order to make the changes I believe you have to learn to think and feel differently about food.


Shall/can we discuss?

Low GI is the way to go. Steer well clear of glucose-fructose syrup, corn syrup etc because it is addictive for a start and plays havoc with the blood sugar (as does alcohol). Complex carbs, whole grains and good quality protein. And exercise for all-round physical and mental well-being

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
