I want to be slim!!!

It's as simple as that really. Which it probably is for everyone.
But why does it all have to be so hard??
I gave up trying to look for reasons why I was and still am fat. I didn't have an unhappy childhood, I wasn't an ugly duckling and there has been no huge truma in my life.....(touch wood).
The simple fact is that I have eaten too much and drunk to much wine. I love food, I love to taste it, smell it and enjoy it. But the trouble starts when I can't say "No thats it now, I've had enough."
It has nothing to do with my brain not realising when I am full. I know when I am full, but if I liked it I would just carry on eating.
I have been greedy, thats as simple as it gets.
And, I am angry with myself for doing this to myself and my body. I didn't have to do it, I could have listened to the little voice telling me my jeans were getting too tight. Then the little voice coming back again telling me that I would need another size up.
Now is the start of me taking some responsibilty for my weight. I put it on and now I have to loose it.

Have some faith! There are options, but also try to come to terms with your body.. I know plenty of people who are clinically obese but they just don't really care about it, and because they're so bubbly you actually CAN'T see that there's anything wrong at all. In fact it makes them more beautiful that they are so confident. ... You know worry only points to the problem all the more.
Unlike some of my friends though I couldn't be confident at all, I weighed 18st 7 last January, and didn't want to leave the house... Then I did Lighter Life, and lost 8 stone, it was very difficult, very challenging, but, it did at the end help me realise how the problem started.
Keep going, the goal is worth it. If it gets difficult, just keep going.. One day at a time. Have a calendar marked on your wall and set yourself mini-goals such as - I must keep on top of this for 2 days. Mark it down. When you get there give yourself a pat on the back, and mark out another two days... before you know it, you'll be a month in..
