Hi my pattern seems to be either on a diet or off it and put the weight back on. When I'm on a diet I stick to it with avidly, hardly ever wavering and lose all my weight getting down to a size 12 or 10. During a diet I get upset by the comments of friends and family (not dh) like "you're not getting anorexic are you?", etc. Then when I finish the diet I chuck all my big clothes out and buy new smaller ones and generally feel great. After about a month, I then get into a post diet mode of eating anything, almost like I need to prove to those critical friends and family that I've a normal healthy appetite, and before I know it the weight has gone on again and I'm back to a size 16.
I need to stop this pattern of good /bad, diet/no diet, obsession/abandon. It's obviously not working in the long term and it can't be doing me any good health wise and I'm sure my family and friends must think to themselves every time I go on a diet "here she goes again"
I want to lose weight but not in such an obsessive way.
Can anyone help? Does anyone else do this?
