The New and Improved Pickers thread!

[Dieting Rambler]

Thanks Emmie...I just felt all pathetic yesterday when I went flying my decking and brusied myself...it really shook me up! and as I am working from home there was no one around (thank god to see me do it!) but also to give me a hug:cry:but I am fine now...well very unattractive knees but apart from that!

 

[emmie83]

massive hugs chick (((())))
DR you have such a nicer way of saying what i mean than i do!! hehe!!
wagon you are defffo not alone in picking and we are here to support each other!!

i find the thread helps me see that food isnt bad (went through abit of a thing that if i ate i woudl throw it up and it was because i was so set on this diet being about banning food as DR said that i felt so much guilt but couldnt stop myself, i still have moments now where i do it but im working on it!) so to me this thread is important to know that there are people on here that not nessersarly think its ok to pick but that make me feel that its not the end of the world and that infact im not the only one thats doing it and am normal to want to taste and eat things!!

oohh that turned into abit of an essay!!

Hi Em, just wanted to say... you may be picking but look at that ticker! you're over 1/2 way to your goal, how good is that??? Well done on another loss, it may not be 8lb but that wasn't gonna last and you should be really pleased.

Thanks T!!

went to docs yesterday and asked about TT but was told again that there not covered on NHS! (crappy postcode lottery me thinks!!) and this was a different doc and surgery so am gonna loose the weight then go back again (and see a diff doc!!)

then again you never know how ill feel when its lost maybe it wont look as bad!!!!!

hello!!!
Im a picker, and now im a happy picker as Ive found this thread.

Many restarts under my belt lol so to say

I had a bad week last week and got weighed yesterday at 12 11 which was 2lb gain.

So here we go again.

 

[Dieting Rambler]

Duchess Wobbles - Hi and welcome....

I am sorry about your 2lb gain....what apart from not picking do you think you need to do this week to get rid of that gain?

I know that this week coming I have to believe in myself, I can and will be slimmer, and I have to stop looking at food as a comfort for when I am feeling low.

If you feel the need to nibble jump on here and chat to us there is nearly always one of us about!

 

[Trim T]

Yes I'm still VERY VERY excited!!!

3wks Friday 'til my pre-op ooooooooh hahaha

Really sorry to hear about your GP.... I think it's ridiculous, anyone would think we're from different countries not cities! How can it be ok in 1 part of the uk and not in the other, surely there is some kind of universal system that links them all. I truely believe that each case should be judged on an individual basis not on the PCT's criteria!! It makes me soooooo angry..................... rant over

I'm sure you won't need a TT but, that's beside the point. I think if i hadn't had any children my tummy would be fine, it's just really over-stretched after my 3 big babies. Fingers crossed for you.

Keep positive and food luck with the next 17.5lb hehe

You don't need to apologise to us! What was it do you think that made you stray? I find it is mostly habit with me, and I do with without thinking and then once its in my mouth I am like 'what the hell am I doing?'

 

[trisha]

Hi dieting rambler thats just what I do mindlessly put something in my mouth, like you say its just a habit.

 

[wannabeskinny]

we all must break the habit x

 

[Duchess_wobbles]

hello all.
Dieting Rambler - Thanks, I plan on walking 30mins every day and upping my water as well.

Hi fellow reformed pickers 5lbs loss this week which is a bit of a shock and I don't feel I deserve it but it has inspired me to keep plugging away.
