Hi all, well done to all loser and to those that STS.

Well done frogga on making the next stonage down

Keep going, you know you can do it

I got bought chocolates so have been munching them ... they're not gone yet as it was a bumper batch from a trip abroad

Trying to limit myself and succeeding so far

Food today:
soaked oats with raisins, nana and syrup (should really ditch the syrup but I like it

)
lunch - was yummy - roasted sweet potatoes, red pepper and red onion with a tin of skinless boneless salmon - not very low fat but it tasted GOOD!!!

Tea is barley stuffed peppers with salmon fillets (kinda overdose on salmon but never mind - I like it

)

I also do not weigh myself very often- as lots of things cause weight fluctuation. Time of day, time of month, how much water you have drank. I feel weighing yourself puts too much pressure on you. I find it better to see how you look in your clothes - you can tell if you have lost weight if your clothes are looser. Eat what you want - just stop when you feel full.

I do exactly the same thing lol. I have this most mornings so I dont have to think too hard or weigh anything out!

That weetabix advert makes me queasy when they have just yoghurt on their weetabix and I always say but that wont make it all nice and soggy!

(Sorry off topic there).

LOL Mummygems, could we have been seperated at birth, I say the same thing about the ad. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

My problem is that I'm never full.

:wall: :wall: :wall: If left alone, I could eat all day and never stop -its actually quite frightening. Its also a reason why diets don't work for me.

My only way to control my weight is to work on looking after myself mentally and physically. In other words work at not binging, but eating in control. Making sure I don't eat for comfort, but for nutrition and in someways enjoyment.

Really difficult though - any one else any thoughts on this :question: :question: :question:

Hi recovering spendaholic - do you feel hungry all the time? What do you think of Paul Mckenna's Book - I can make you thin? I can send it to you if you wish as he talks a lot about people feeling they can eat all day. pm me if you want me to sent it to you.
