Hello

[Lisa-abigail]

Hi! My name is Lisa and I'm 23 years old.

I have been overweight since I was about 17, I have always felt unconfortable with my body but I had never thought anything of it, I was tall enough to get away with it, until now. I have gone past over weight to OBESE! Everyone around me says that I don't need to lose weight and that I'm beautiful as I am. However, reccently my parents have started to mention that I'm getting bigger buit they dont offer me the support I need to make they changes.

I want to finally feel comfortable with my body and be happy. I know I will never be a size 8, I have boobs and a bum which I like, but I do want to be slimmer if not to feel comfortable, at least for my health.

I hope to lose over 60lbs with a healthy balanced diet and excercise. My one major down fall is my sweet tooth, I love chocolate and when I get emotional its the one thing I turn too. Eating chocolate has almost become a habit of mine, I will have a bar in the morning and probaly with lunch and then another after tea. So I feel my first major challange will be reducing the amount of chocolate i consume on a daily basis (really doesn't help that easter is just around the corner)

I will also be starting my food diary today for any one that wants to track my progress

Hope everyone is enjoying the sun!

Hi Lisa!

Wishing you all the best, hope your getting on ok.

Small steps hey in kicking the chocolate habit - when you say no to a bar or you resist your morning treat- remember how that empowerment feels!

Hi Lisa,

Don't know if this will help, but you could try a low calorie hot choc when you have the craving or buy a small bar of good quality dark chocolate and have a small piece when the craving kicks in.

Good luck with your weight loss.

Thanks Ladies.

I'd doing well this week hardly eaten any chocolate this week, just a small amount on Monday so feeling positive.

However I do have a small collection of Easter eggs at home which seems to be growing.

Sounds like you are doing really well. My husband is coming for a quick weekend visit, he arrives tomorrow (he works away) and will be bringing easter eggs and choc for the children - I must resist.

Maybe you can take your eggs to work/uni? Then leave them on a table for everyone to help themselves, this would hopefully make you feel really good. Or donate them to a local school for raffle prizes?

If you have the most amazing will power ever, you could always keep them, ration them and see how long they last.

Good luck xx
