Thanks Dan.
Yeah sure am, just busy with work and trying to save as much as possible (failing miserably this month) so that I can get my own place next year.
Back on the diet aswell today, loads to lose so as long as I get there this year I will be happy with that.1 -

I'm just back from a month's holiday and couldn't get myself motivated but having just read your diary from the beginning I'm inspired again. Off the make lists of every single thing I need to do and what I want to achieve this year. Thanks, Dolly.
Good luck with the diet. I'm another one who struggles.Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.1 -
It's so hard isn't it.
I think because I have so much to lose I just see it as a longggggggg struggle so keep thinking well one more week of bingeing won't make a difference when it really is affecting me mentally.
It's such a vicious circle, I eat to make myself feel better which in turn makes me feel worse - WHYYYYYY!!
I need to sort myself out.1 -
