I know what you mean - there is no real reason why anyone should help out anyone else on here but you get the people who really do and I find them amazing x

[Daisybank]

exactly - people on here who I have never even met and they are way more supportive than those I know! It feels like people really care doesn't it x

Daisy and Missy, I don't think I can add anymore to the fantastic advice Gemma has already given you and I am glad she suggested mini goals. I made 23 when I started, all easily achieveable and only the very last one is getting to goal. I am a firm believer in having lots of mini goals, each one achieved should be rewarded with a treat just for you, a facial, manicure, special bubble bath, new lippy, something non-food but that you look forward to.

Missy, also, where your dad and brother are concerned, have to used the word obese with them. I hate it but when I have been told I am getting too skinny (are they blind!) I very bluntly tell them "I am obese, I need to lose weight!" and that usually does the trick.

Good luck to you both and Gemma, how did you get to be so wise? I love to read your posts.

Awww sweetie, I don't think I'm wise I've just struggled weight-wise for a long time and now I've finally found something that works like magic I want every overweight person in the world to do it too! If there's ever anything I can think of that will help a person I see no reason to keep it to myself - how does that help anyone? xxx

ok my friends I wrote a list today. It consists of a lot of things that I don't want to do/be anymore.

Mainly I don't want to hate myself anymore - either when I look in the mirror or when I feel I have let myself down again by eating too much. Also all the usual things like clothes, shopping etc etc.

I am not sure yet if I can do it or not. I do know I have stuck to it for 11 weeks straight in the past so I can do it again I hope. I can't imagine ever being able to post on here saying I have reached where I want to be, that must be such an amazing feeling.

I have decided I am setting myself a few goals along the way, the first being to be 100% for a whole week. I am going to make sunday my first new day, I am going to an important meal next sunday so will have to try to just have something small cos eating nothing is not an option on that particularr day. But I don't want to wait another week.

Thanks for your advice and support and sorry for this long post xx

I will do this for me as I so completely deserve to be happy. I will no longer use food as a crutch for my emotions - I am better than that! I AM WORTH IT'

Everything I just wrote in that paragraph is true. There is no reason for you to continue being unhappy darling. You have the tools at your disposal, all you need to do is to utilise them!

Now for some questions...

Do you live alone?

Rainbowbrite can you give me some tips?
Your posts are so supportive.
I live with hubby & 4 kids & I work as a hairdressing junior & have gone back to college to retrain so I have to go get lunches for work & constantly make cuppas & serve biscuits. Its all a killer really but I must say I am quite focused at the moment (only day 2 of yet another attempt may I add)
Any tips would be gratefully recieved?
Cheers
Niki
