...that's me :(

I started April vowing I would be good - eat well and lose weight (3 stone to lose). Today I hit a stress wall, my 16mth old is being very difficult and my other child keeps saying no and I thought 'I don't care' and binged on the shit fat food and ruined it all. Hols is in a month and I don't want to go. I am fat and so unhappy and it is all my fault. I hate it. Will I ever win this battle? The fat ruins everything. I was so so good in the gym this morning and now I have undone good work again and feel bloated and shit. And FAT.

Help me mumsnetters. I feel like a loser.

You haven't undone everything, you've just had a blip. Just get back on track for the rest of the day - don't write off the whole day!

Try The Cambridge Diet? Fast, safe weight loss.
I do not work for them
, I lost lots of weight that way.
When you go into ketosis you feel no hunger.

Nope. One morning does not a fat bloater make.

Forget it. Plan something nice (and fat free) for tea and Bob's your uncle.

Don't beat yourself up, our kid

Start afresh tomorrow. Make sure you have healthy food in the house for a good healthy brekkie, and get out and do something physical tomorrow morning, even if it is just a bit of a walk.

If you eat sensibly and get active, you could lose half a stone in a month no problem.

Cambridge Diet etc good for quick weight loss, but you won't keep it off.

Diets make you hungry. Eat well and healthily, and allow yourself the odd treat. Exercise regularly.

Now I just need to take my own advice.

Yes it's just a blip! Even skinny people overeat occasionally!

I'm losing weight atm, Saturday went out the window as we went to a wedding and I ate lots of yummy treats, Sunday was better but we still had mother's day choccies and nice dinner. I just started again Monday.

Don't put yourself down, if you try and be positive about yourself dieting is easier!

i lost 17 stones years ago with cambridge diet fyi

17 stones??? did you keep most of it off?

Seventeen stones! Wow! That's impressive! You should be very proud of yourself x

I was just looking at the cambridge diet website, but youhave to get a consultant to assess you etc before you can buy the stuff. Is there something similar you can just buy off the shelf?

I'm not massively overweight but would like to lose a stone in 4 months. Loathe exercise and love chocolate.

So looking on the positive side, you only binged for an hour or two. Throw out your 'fat food', just have healthy stuff in the house (or stuff you don't like ), and think how many days there are left in April to lose weight. One bad day out of thirty isn't really bad at all.

It is always easier having a partner in crime who can help you over the bad times and stop you hitting the wall....

Just how realistic is your weight loss plan???

There is exante which is £100 a month for complete meal replacement- look online. You are only meant to do it if BMI is over 30 and you will need some serious willpower! Once you are in ketosis though you feel on top of the workd and you are likely to lose 1/2 stone in the first week which is nice. Lighter Life is good if you need a bit more support- I lost 4 stone with it and kept most of it off. It is significantly more expensive but you get the counselling which is the bit which helps keep it off.

Minimins is a really good diet website with bits for all the different diets which has advice and support

Have you thought of joining Weight Watchers or Slimming World? Anyone I know who's gone to a group as opposed to doing it alone has been successful. Perhaps that's what you need?

kept it all off apart from the odd stone on holiday etc as i still have 3 cambridge packs a day.
