Well it took me a few days to start but I am on day 1 it's going ok ... I keep thinking oh I wanna eat and then I remember why I'm doing this... I want to stick with this choice because it is MY choice to do this and I am not letting that other voice tell me I can't! Thanx for listening!
 
hi smurfette keep going it will get easier, im now on day 8 and i get bored and think of food and then realise that was my problem, i dont eat because im hungry i eat through boredom so i create distractions for myself like i go for a bath in the evening which is my danger time, or watch health and obesity shows,look at peoples sucess stories and think "that will be me" amongst other things, i also find looking at myself in my undies in the mirror is a major reminder of why i need to do this. Keep up the hard work and look forward to your first weigh in.

Thanx Jen! Just found out my ex from nearly 4 years ago has gotten married... I am so tempted to find comfort in food ... Not because I give a damn about him I know it wasn't right but I am so devastated that I am still single at 34 he told me we could get engaged if I lost some weight (I was a lot heavier then) thankfully I didn't think this was a good starting point but he told me he didn't see himself ever getting married and now he is. And I'm still single. I feel like my life is a failure. Even after successfully losing some weight the relationship I had didn't work out and now I am on my own. I so want to dive into food but I know I won't find solace there. Being fat makes me miserable but so does being alone. Maybe if I only had to deal with one I'd be a bit happier and seeing as I can't control the relationship side I am hoping and praying I can lose the weight. Sorry major rant there but I've jusy been so upset this evening by the notion of even him managing to find someone ...

You will find someone too Smurfette... But you need time and space to start to love yourself first... Then the rest will follow naturally.... I was in a similar situation to you and my ex found someone else (I too couldn't care less about him personally) but i just got on with MY life.....Now, i am happily married (I was newly single at 34 too) and my ex has turned into a right bloater (after really being nasty to me about my weight!) and i now hear he is also drinking really heavily--not the sign of someone who is really happy with their lot....
Please stick with LT.. It is hard, but the results are sooooooooo worth it.. And if/when you need to rant, that's what we are here for x x x
