Helloooo, This is a bit long but....
I've lost a bit of weight before and mostly managed to keep it off, at my biggest I was 15.7 stone and a size 22. I've managed to stay around 11.7 stone although I have gone down to 10.7 before but for my height (5ft2) it's still not a healthy weight and I guess because I lost a load of weight before I thought I'd sort of done my bit and forgot I needed to do more!
But I've realised recently I have immense issues with food- I panic if I don't have anything in the house that's like a sweet treat, I realised this last night when I felt this overwhelming urge to leave the house in search of sweet things, despite having a young daughter at home! I opened a kitchen cupboard however and saw some chocolate bars and I literally felt a sense of relief as if aaahh it's all ok, I've got some.... I'm a bloody addict!
I'm going to try lipotrim tomorrow, I did go on it before using mostly the maintenance products and lost about a stone but didnt want to continue at the time and just did the rest with exercise and diet but I'm a bit sick of feeling like I'll probably always be a bit chubby, I was more overweight than I am now and I havent gone completely back there so it can be done! If I don't get on with LT I might just stay on here to keep my motivation up using diet and exercise and attempting to break my food addictions.
I did read a bit of paul mckenna's I can make you thin book but only really read to the 'you can eat what you want' bit and now I feel on a bit of a downward spiral! I keep buying in choc and scoffing it and if I dont have any in, I feel sad, deprived and as if life is pointless somehow even though realistically I can see that it is silly to feel that way.
I had to have some emergency abdominal surgery in the summer due to a botched routine gallbladder removal (thank you nhs for the lovely huge scar across my tum!) and lost about a stone due to being unable to eat and vomiting and was not able to eat properly for a while after (and put all the weight back on) and due to not being able to eat what I wanted I felt like I had had an arm cut off. I seek comfort in food, I eat when I'm sad, I reward myself with food, I equate my personal wealth with being able to buy whatever food I want and if I do not have much money at the time I feel downright miserable. I like to enjoy food in secret and I don't want to pass these bad habits onto my daughter I work hard to make sure she eats healthily and I control her diet strictly but do not seem to be able to extend the same to myself.
I can't go on like this! any support or help appreciated!
