Keep going Shaggy, you'll get there!!
Yup jumped on the wagon last night...will be still on it tonight...:)What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -
PS Shaggy, when I agreed with Glenda I wasn't meaning to "do down" the article, it's just that I agree with her that there is scrutiny where women are concerned that men are still not subjected to, and also I kind of gave up on diets a while ago because of the conflicting advice and because none of them seem to really work long-term for most people. I should have said thanks for posting the link though.
No worries! Everyone is entitled to their opinion - 3rd day of my diet. It's still going well

Dieting talk is a massive trigger for me - Mum was constantly on a diet when I was growing up, and expected her family to follow suit so she wasn't suffering alone. I know that isn't normal, but it really messed up me and my sister when it comes to food and body image (hellooo eating disorders!) Also none of them worked long term, which left me with some very cynical views on magic weight loss programmes (WW and SW, looking at you with a great deal of side eye).
Anyhoo, this isn't a diet debate thread so I'll shut up now! I love how there is room here for a broad range of views and approaches, and it wasn't my intention to shut anyone down.
Honestly, no worries. You make a lot of valid points. It's just that I need to shift a good few pounds for a party I've been invited to in August. For many on here, weight and alcohol is one and the same, for all the time I've been on this thread we've talked about the weight gain from alcohol...can't have one with out the other....What do we do when we fall?
