There is plentiful evidence, however, that he was hardly of good cheer. The early days of his retirement were grim. His wife was ill and so, increasingly, was he. More than anything, Banting was depressed about his weight: "If fat is not an insidious creeping enemy," amateur he wrote, "I amateur do not know what is." The sad, fat Victorian - hardly the stuff of myth. Yet a close reading of the period shows that Banting was not alone. The notion that Victorians were happy being fat, that it was a "sign of prosperity", amateur wilts when one considers mid-century depictions of wealthy Victorian fatties. The character Joseph Sedley in Thackeray's Vanity Fair, for example, was consistently portrayed as having been effeminised by his fat ("he was as vain as a girl"). Social commentators of the time essayed loudly on the same theme, with one, the surgeon-major Joshua Duke, blaming obesity for "effeminacy, unmanliness and perhaps unwomanliness".
