Im starting to worry that I will be fat forever. I don’t seem to have the determination to continue with as diet, and my mind set is that once a diet is over I can eat what I want again. Im getting very discouraged and failing and trying over and over is becoming disheartening.
Although people say ‘diets don’t work’, really every diet works if stuck to properly, but most people quit part way through or put that weight back on afterwards. Im just starting to realise that I could be in the same position in 10 years time; trying to will myself thin whilst eating a plate piled high with cheese on toast.
I don’t want dieting to consume my life! I don’t want to think about eating all day every day as I currently do. Although horrid, most of my spare time is spend dreaming of losing weight, and cruising the internet for the diet could change my life.
I look through weight loss threads from years ago where people say ‘this time I will do it!’ then their stats never change, or their diary just stops because they have succumbed to food and are probably still larger than they want to be years later. I don’t want my diary to be one someone looks through in years and think, oh she gave up.
I want to succeed, I want to lose weight and finally get where I want to be. My life seems to be on hold until I fix my weight, I refuse to buy new clothes, have my hair done, go out with friends etc until I lose weight. It just doesn’t seem possible, failure seems inevitable after so many attempts. Its ridiculous how something so simple can be sooo hard!
This is a very long and selfish post! I apologise; just need to vent. I don’t want to offend anyone, I know many dieters are successful, I’m just getting scared that I may not be one them. I apologise for the rant
