Hi every one,
This looks like the right venue for my approach to weight loss. Thank you for being here.
I have had two previous serious weight losses, from being big but fit I piled on weight until I reached over 18 stone. I lost nearly 4 stone with SW, regained most of it and lost again partly going to SW groups and using the SW approach with the support of another online community and got down to UK size 14 and was looking forward to wearing size 12 clothes.
Now my fatness has returned and at last I'm looking deeper into the emotional reasons for all this.
I've gained just over 50 pounds in a year before I finally worked out that I was shouting as loudly as I could to myself and the world that I could not cope with my family difficulties.
(Expletives deleted) I wish I'd listened before. Still, I know now and have gone into councelling and it looks as though the family members with problems are getting the support they need which means it is no longer falling so heavily on me to support them. And resent them and their problems too, which lead to guilt on my part ... eh, thoughts can get so convoluted sometimes.
I'm listening to Renee Stephen's podcasts. Anyone else here listening to them?
Also, I'm listening to Paul McKenna's CDs but not as he recommends as I cannot totally escape the diet mentality and am still doing a SW approach. I want to lose at least three stone FAST but realise it took a year to go on and probably will take at least as long to go. Still, to have lost significantly by summer would be great.
