Thanks for your comment laurenrosalind. You are so right. It so often feels like we just don't have control, doesn't it!
Laila, not wishing to reply for laurenrosalind, so I won't!! But... I did counselling a few years ago for something else in my life and it was fantastic. It really turned my situation around.
I am not in a position to do it now - for a variety of reasons but from my experience (which was not food/diet related), I would highly reccomend. Great it's working so well for you RL!
