People say I looked lovely - I just can't see it. I can just see piggy. On the upside I at least have lots of very professional "before" photos. :laugh:

Why is yourself esteem low? What areas do you think you have that affected your weight gain?

Aha - good question!

That's going to be my mission for this week.. when I feel unhappy, or I'm wanting to fill my cake hole with cake, I'm going to spend a minute reflecting on what I'm feeling first.. and Why I'm feeling it - so I can locate what this whole self esteem thing's all about for me.. thank you for the good steer..

I agree with what has already been said. I am angry at myself for putting all this weight on, and desparte to lose it again. I HATE being fat, I HATE having to wear a jacket, I HATE apologising for my weight before anyone has even mentioned it. So, once I have lost this (by July), I will have my AI holiday and enjoy it, then see how much I have put on when I come back, maybe do CD for a month and lose it again, then go on Slimming World and stick to a 'food' diet. I WILL NOT BE FAT AGAIN

Hey Guys..
I have just got in from a day out.. and read all your replies.. and everyone sounds so positive and so motivated and the general feeling is angry that they have got where they have got.. and I know Im one of them too!!!

So come on .... A new week ahead of us!!! Lets be 100% .. and every time you feel like you want a treat remember that anger (and remember its not a treat as it will just make things worse)...

We are going to be slim!!!!!!!

[curlywurly1234]

Hey Paula,

xxxxx

 

[AbsolutelyFabulous]

Thank you
For the first time in my life.. I honestly do believe I will do it. Not that I can, or I might, or I should.. but I WILL. I deserve it. We all deserve it.

I so so so want this. I want this so much that I am continuing business as usual, cooking meals for my family and not a bite ispassing my lips. I have baked cakes, muffins and a big easter meal this weekend and it hasn't phased me at all.

I WILL be slim, I WILL be comfortable in my own body. I WILL feel comfortable enough to get dressed up and go out with my husband without thinking everyone is looking at us and wondering WTF he is with me for.

I will no longer be a frumpy mummy, my girls will not inherit he issues I have with food.

This completely echoes how I feel. My entire family have issues with food, comfort eating and are all overweight. My h2b is one of those annoying types who eats anything and stays slim- I want my girls to be like their father! I want them to eat the right food for the right reasons. I want them to be happier than I have been for the last 5 years
