    Trick your mind

    Here’s an odd little trick I have use and it works for me so I'd like to share it. When you want to snack on something, identify what it is, take the first letter and think of something else that begins with that that is not connected to food. EG 1 ‘I want Crisps!’ Instead I think of...

    Hi I just joined! I'm 18 years old. I weight 12 stone and am 5foot 7. I looked up my BMI and was gutted to have it confirmed (although I knew anyway!) that I am overweight :sigh: I hope to get to anywhere between 9-10 stone, but have had this goal so often and failed, that I know I have to be...
