[michelle90]

I want to have more children but cannot even contemplate that now with being as overweight and unhealthy although no longterm ilnesses as of yet.

Hey Michelle, you food looks delicious! It's also really inspiring to know that you've lost weight before and managed to have your little girl. Me and my partner want to start trying for a baby once we're married (next year) so a big reason I'm trying to lose weight is so I'll be able to conceive. I really hope it goes well for you with your next one too! You seem to have the food side of this down already. How are you finding it so far?

If you're prone to suffering from binge eating it can be a good idea to make some healthy snacks in advance so you have something ready for when you feel the urge. I used to get some plastic cups and fill them with sugar free jelly and keep them in the fridge just in case I could feel one coming!

Hope it's going okay and I look forward to the rest of yours posts!

hi emily thanks so much for ur encouragment i havent been fat my whole life but have always struggled with my weight i guess your right it is a motivation knowing what i could look like and that i can be thin because i have been before, i am trying to make the food as nice as possible just because its a diet doesnt mean the food has to be gross! i like your idea about the jelly! so far this week has been hard i havent binged once yet which for me is great as a normal week could be upto 4 binges, it has been reallly hard ive been in tears 2 nights because ive just been desperate to binge! its so weird because i am trying to listen to my stomach alot which i never used to do, you cant really if you intend to binge, i knew i wasnt hungry atall and i could not make any excuses to myself so it was so weird to feel this intense urge of wanting to eat and having to ignore it. but my hub encourages me loads sometimes he works nights tho which can make it harder but so far so good heres the food diary uptodate will add more on sat.

Hi Michelle

Just wondered if you were still doing your diary - I am just trying to get myself motivated and back on track and lots of the stuff you were saying really rang a bell with me. I do wish you well.
