This is totally me too. I know exactly how you feel.beanielou said:So.
This is a true story.
Some of you may get it & some of you may not.
I am increasingly unhappy with my appearence & my weight.
Now, I am not totally dim.
I know that I am the only person that can do something about it.
The rub is that the more upset/stressed I get about it the more I eat.
Mmmmm.
We can only keep trying to make small sustainable changes and stop beating ourselves up xx"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee4 -

So.
Nearly the last week of June already.
How time flies.
So thinking ahead to July I am hoping to spend as little money as possible & loose some weight.

I opened one of these recently though it was £100 incentive then [but still very welcome]. It all went smoothly other than taking a wee bit longer to get set up than they said initially but they kept me informed by text.beanielou said:Just applied for a new First Direct bank account.
