    Right now I feel REALLY guilty for not checking in for a week. Have an excuse, had a friend to stay and he spoiled me rotten! Bought me some stuff, some lush stuff and other bits. Feel realy good for it but a bit lonely now.

    Going to really need help with the weightloss, I'm now 85kg (gulp) and I'd love to be below 80 for my birthday. So it's time to sort myself out ,no eating crap or big portions that I don't need/make me full. And I NEED to cut out the carbs and the crap, so it'll be one day at a time, and today hasn't gone too well :( - massive binge session earlier and feel so guilty. But I need to write it down so I see it, and so I can try and stop it....
    So....
    6 crumpets
    2 Bounty
    2 Snickers
    1 120g bag crisps
    1 120g popcorn
    1 Toffee Crisp
    2 rolls
    1 sandwich

    I feel really bad seeing it in black and white, but I gotta do it.

    Went to the psych today, the venafalaxine has been doubled and I won't see her til May now I think, also being referred to DBT. She's proud I'm making it to uni, but I'm not proud of me, I'm disgusted at what I've become, and I just want to sit and cry.

    how you going with the sugar cravings?
  • elfen
    elfen Posts: 10,213 Forumite
    It's hard elantan.....I'm kind of dependant on it....but I have brought a lot of fruit as fruit sugar must be better than shedloads of chocolate....

    Spent 12.80 on fruit and salad stuff ,the weather being nice gives me more of an impetus to do things

    elfen~ I know how hard it is for you.
    Baby steps & keep plodding.
    What is DBT?
    It is good that you are making it to uni.
    Try not to beat yourself up so much.
