Help please!!! I've lost my willpower :(

[purpleprincess71]

Hello everyone, i thought I would make this thread as Im really struggling with my diet

I used to be great at dieting, i was doing weightwatchers for at least half a year non stop and lost 4 stone which made me very happy.

Since then I've put on about 2 stone and would be happy if I just got down from 10st 9lbs to 9st 7lbs. I had set a goal to lose 12lbs by christmas but at the rate I'm going I dont think it will happen

I find it really hard not to eat junk food all the time as I'm at home all day on my own Monday to Friday. I dont have a job and am really struggling to get one as I suffer from depression. I tried taking anti depressants but put on alot of weight while I was on them and I cant afford to pay for them anymore.

At the weekends I like to see my friends, which usually involves going to the pub or to a club and i am a big drinker, so find it hard to stay away from the alcohol Also I like to go to the cinema with my boyfriend and we always end up caving in and gettin sweets, popcorn or McDonalds!

Alot of the time everyone says I don't look any fatter and they say I look really good, so I think oh what the hell, I will eat and drink what I want! I just dont have the motivation or the willpower anymore. When me and my boyfriend were doing WW together we did really well for 3 weeks, but if one of us caves in then the other one does aswell

I am quite good at getting on my treadmill and speed walking or doing my exercise DVD so that isn't a problem for me.

I also forgot to mention that when I dont do my diet and eat what I want, I really do eat alot! Im allowed 19 points on my diet, but before when I havent done it I've eaten at least 50 points in 1 day!

I just really don't know what to do so any help would be appreciated as I know everyone on here is lovely and helpful

Yes that can be hard I've been on WW's before and I was a big drinker and when I drunk I would cave and eat take away foods only to try and skip my food or points for the next few days but I found I was on a rollercoaster and unfortunately for me the weight piled back on. Back then trying to cut out alcohol was like taking my best friend away from me, I totally could not comprehend it. Another thing why my diets didn't work is because I use to split atoms when it came to the points I would totally try and eat the least I could so I could fit my wine or spirits in and what was really the problem is my motivation would slip and my will would crumble. Then I found myself in a cycle doing it all over again. I worked really hard at work and was so tired when I came home that the last thing I wanted to do was cook dinner for my partner and I so we would end up having take aways, not the solution I know just the moment I was in. I'm going back on a diet and am happy that this no longer exists as I've thought it over, the only time I drink alot now is when I am stressed which doesn't happen often. I've come to enjoy a few glasses instead of many more.
