Im 5'7 and 18 stone, I started gym about 7 wks ago and lost 1 stone in 5wks, ive not been gm for 2 wks and I cant stop eating crap, I always say this is it this time Im serious, I get married October 2012 and ive got about 7 stone to lose, Im worried that Im not going to get a dress ive gave myself until April until I go chose my dress hopefully by that time I will have lost some weight, but at moment I just cant stop eating crap im never ever full either, Ive got PCOS and Underactive thyroid which doesnt help my weight pissed off

I love food! the food can be vegetables or pizza and I still love it! However I don't like the hips that go with it so I know what you mean whn you say you're determined but easily fall of the wagon so to speak. firstly congratulations on losing a stone, focus on this rather than what you have left to go. you've lost that much so you're obviously doing something right and need to continue with it. have you thought about joining a slimming club to help you focus on the eating side of things? I'm at slimming world and the good thing is they celebrate small achievements and when you hit a hurdle it makes you mentally stop and think about you're weigh in before buying the crisps. Don't beat yourself up about losing a particular amount of weight either (bet my h2b wants to remind me of this when I complain about still needing to lose 13lbs) because you have plenty of time still. Break it down and if you want to lose 7 stone then that's only roughly 2lb a week until your wedding. That sounds easier doesn't it xx

stevie_dee where can i get one from? xx

Oh coool where did u get your your recording from and was is paul mckenna xx

I feel your pain. Food is my best friend. When i'm sad it's there to comfort me, when i'm happy it's there to celebrate with me and when i'm bored it's there to occupy me. My worst enemy is me, because i'm the only that turns to food instead of some one that really cares. I went from 25stone to 18st 10 between feb 2010 and feb this year. But then i got complacent and thought i deserved a treat. But instead of treating myself with new clothes or something i could really enjoy. I started with the binges again, i'd drop my eldest daughter at school, go to the shop and buy rolls, cheese, chocolate, donuts and a bottle of fat coke to wash it down with. When i got home it'd all be gone within an hour. Now i weight 21st 4 again and want to loose 7 stone before next september too. If i can do it so can you. You just need to find a source of support that isn't edible lol. If you ever fancy a diet buddy, i'm always happy to lend an ear, especially since we have the same amount to loose in the same time frame. Best wishes, x

No it was a woman called Cathy we had to go to Portsmouth for the sessions and the recording was given to me after I completed the course. xx

What are lipotrim? Like shakes that you replace meals with? I like the idea of using them but realisticly i think i just have to learn how to eat. That's the only way i'm going to loose it, keep it off and be a healthy rolemodel to my two girls. I was looking at hypnotherapy but someone told me about a visualisation technique where you imagine all dirty, nasty stuff in your weakness food. I don't know if this will work because i know that chocolate is all good lol. I did use a similar thing to stop smoking by thinking of my lungs blackening. Maybe i'll think of fat furring up my arteries, urgh.

everytime you think you need to eat .....drink
