I need some inspirational advice 'cos I'm feeling I'm never going to be in a position where I'll feel comfortable in a swimsuit and overcome my addiction to eating.
I just bought a sie 14 and a size 16 swimsuit, halterneck styles, bargains at £2.50 each. But when I tried them on rather than feeling pleased with my bargains it's sent me into a downward spiral of self doubt and self hate.
I look horrendous in them. I know that some would be really happy to be in a size 14 or 16, and I am, but I'm such a horrid shape! I look 7 months pregnant from side profile, and my floppy boobs hang out of the sides of the swimsuits (under arm area) and have either loose or lumpy skin.
I find it so hard to just make it through one day without going over my Syns and am always craving chocolate which makes me a bit of a miseryguts.
Today is daughter's birthday party at Pizza Hut and I don't want to be the one to sit there and not have a piece of pizza....I love pizza...I love food, and to eat, full stop! On the positive side I haven't used any Syns (yet!) other than 2 on Coffeemate.
How is it that some SW slimmers manage to do so very well and lose in such a fast time yet others, like me, seem to be endlessly trying to shed pounds - I've never lost more than 9 pounds before losing my way and reverting to bad habits. Already we are almost at the end of the third week of the new year and I have only a shaky one pound loss to show for it.
How do I stay focused (even a holidayin the summer isn't enough to make me focus now, before it's too late to make a decent difference), and where do I find the willpower to overcome cravings?
Sorry for my miserable post, I'm just hoping someone can inspire me to stay positive for more than half a day.

Any words of advice for me...please?
