    Thank you to everyone who has given me advice. I sat down last week had a good think about how I've been going about trying to lose weight and wrote down exactly where I felt I've been going wrong. I've also written down reasons why I want to lose weight, what I CAN do to lose it (rather than what I have to do) and what my short term goals are. I've got these in a little book that fits in my bag so I can carry it around with me and have a look when my motivation gets low.

    I've also decided to stop taking money with me to work for the time being so that I can get out of the habit of just dropping into the shops on the way home after work and buying rubbish. I'm also allowing myself a treat on Saturdays. Hopefully I'll see some improvement in my will power!

    I googled 'weight loss motivation' and clicked images. I then copied some of those that I though were appropriate for me. They are now easily accessible on my phone and I keep having a read of them every now and again to keep me boosted.
