was very excited to see that there was a sequel to Stephanie Meyer's debut. Twilight
did have its faults, but it was light and the romance was refreshingly well written.
And let's face it, I fell in love with Edward just like the rest of us. He's beautiful
and frightening at the same time and those of you who have a problem with Bella's

Since my teens I've always been a little bit overweight. Although not madly upset
by it I have tried all the usual diets, but I've never been able to stick to them
for more than a few days at a time and always ended up binging to make up for my
