Does anyone else get the 'feeling' that they're hungry rather than actually being hungry? That's been my biggest obstacle IMO. I'm not tummy hungry but I am head hungry at the end of the day.

I find that its all my mind rather than my mouth or stomach that makes me crave food

Constantly! Learning to not eat when I'm not genuinely hungry has been one of my biggest challenges.

Guess it's another of our habits that we have to break!

 

[S_J_B]

We will learn it!

I love Minis for distraction when I'm thinking am I hungry? Cause come on here for fe minutes and hours later no food consumed!!

Its just so lovely to have people who understand who help on the bad days & celebrate the good ones with you :grouphugg:

 

[PrincessSparklePants]

N'awwww! Group hugs all round

I've never known such a lovely supportive forum as this! x

 

[S_J_B]

Likewise, when I did weight watchers a while back I used their site & whilst some fab people lots of *****ness & in fighting?! Not like the lovely WEMITTs

 

[S_J_B]

For the ***** think female dog!

MFP seems a horrendous place if I'm honest! Their forum doesn't seem to be very friendly and it could push other people who are really trying and have lost their confidence to the dark side

 

[Grumpy Space Princess]

I always think that about MFP when I am updating my food diary and see the recent forum topics over on the side. I never venture into their forum, though. It seems really mean-spirited and discouraging. Give me this place, any day!

Hi all
I'm new to this and need to start my weight loss journey.I am currently on sick leave with a knee injury and have a MRI on Thurs aft to see whether they need to operate. I went for a MRI on Halloween but was told I am too heavy for the machine. I weigh about 160kg. The mortification was indescribable! I know I need to make changes and will do this slowly and continuously to make sure my health and life improves! I will be doing sw from home because there is no group that fits in with my shifts from work.
Also hoping to make some friends on here ?
Sorry bout the long post lol

 

[S_J_B]

Welcome to WEMITTs its a lovely friendly place

Sorry to hear about your knee & the horrid experience regarding your not being able to have the scan.

Good luck on your journey

 

[irishafrican]

Out of interest, is anyone watching Skint?


[We're not all like that, I promise!!!)

 

[S_J_B]

Nope but might have to go watch episodes online now had a quick google!

There really are lots of tricks they're doing - aside from focusing on the wrong un's in my town Like driving down the second main shopping area either on a Sunday or early morning when all the shutters are down on every shop like it's a ghost street or something whilst they go on about places having to shut/the economic climate. It really annoys me.

I know I was once on the fringes of a TV docu drama type program and it was so not portrayed anything like it really was!
