Hi hands up im a yoyoer WHY ?
My life has been full of pain and heartache and so I used food as a friend,a comfort,a bordum breaker so this is why the plans havent worked for me.
I think like said the only way it and any plan will work is to see it differently.
The word Diet I hate it as its stands for deprived straving hungry miserable and going it alone and no one stick at it for long.
The thing we have to get is its a Plan a life Plan and along with this there is exercise the two have to go together or we wont lose the weight long term or keep it off as we would hardly be able to eat.
People here Id think a high percentage have tried many plans as the emotional battle is hard,if you dont do your choosen plan right or domt find the right plan then its impossible to stick at it.
I had booked my gastric band consultation as I have yoyoed for 22 years but I had never said this is my life plan on any past 'diets' it was oh when I get to goal I can eat again as I was and so I did,but I also feel I hid behind my weight as I like to fade into the background as Ive been hurt by people and pain that I had from them wasnt something I wanted to experience again so I suppose being fat sucked my confidence away and then I was just a no one.
What changed? Maybe hitting 40 last year and never being what I wanted NOT FAT AT 40 or maybe realising lifes so short I deserve more for myself.
So I took a few months of NO plans then tried a few until it dawned on me that WW worked for me,I admot I struggle with 1lbs a week losses its here to see and I have bad emotional days here also to see but I dont use food to work through it now.
The only advice I could offer is get your head in place for a plan thats for life and an exercise programme that you will do daily.
Lifes too short to yoyo believe me I was 18 when I frst got on the cycle.
I still have a long journey ahead one that will be for always BUT I feel what will I do if I stop this now a life time of hiding in a body I hate ?
