I've NC for this one, as I want fresh perspective.
I'm really suffering from diet fatigue and want to know if anyone's ever lost weight and kept it off without following a structured paid-for diet (ie, WW and SW), or strict calorie counting, fasting, etc?
I know deep down those kind of diets don't work in the long term – far too many people regain all the weight (and more) for them to be a resounding success (you've only got to read these boards to know that!) – so I don't want to attempt another. I have been been using an app to track my calorie intake (My Net Diary, which I find more user friendly than MFP) but it's not helping me get to the root of WHY I'm overweight, which is that I eat mindlessly when I'm bored/hungover/happy/sad/any excuse. I'm so sick of thinking about food and weight though. I've been dieting since I was 15 and I'm now 45. That's THIRTY YEARS of this shit and I've had enough.
However, if I give up and decide to embrace my current weight (which at 13 stone is 1.5 stone over what the charts say is healthy and I'm 5ft 8) and ditch the scales, I respond by eating anything I can lay my hands on, which is what I've been doing all this week.
Is there another way to manage a healthy weight? I'm open to anything except doing another sodding diet!
