    When are your danger times?

    I have to admit I am sort of dreading the weekend. I've found today SO hard :( (Day 3) I really nearly broke but have managed to claw myself back, I really don't know how I'm gonna cope with two solid days.

    Only 4stone to go but why!!

    I've done this for years and haven't managed to crack it, I thought I had for a while back in October but I hadn't. CBT sounds as if it will be helpful. In the meantime helpful things I have heard are: 1. Tell yourself you can have what you want in one hour if you still want it then. 2. Have 3...

I'm finding Weight Watchers VERY confusing to be honest :( and although I joined, I just couldn't get to grips with it and realised I was counting calories anyway ... so I've continued with that.
