I would never want people to think I don't take responsibility for what I eat and what exercise I get, and yes ultimately it is my own fault that I'm overweight. But I really believe that people need support, not judgement, to turn things around. |
Hazelnut - that is SUCH a positive post and I'm really glad its helping you so much.
My sister is also receiving counselling and it is helping her no end. She is really thinking things through now and understanding why she ate the way she did. I am SO pleased for her because she came very close indeed to having a gastric bypass operation, which would not have helped her with the "head" stuff at all.
I hope you continue to do well Hazelnut.
