Please be nice to me lol.

I'm overweight, but by no means massively so - a "healthy" weight for my height is between 8 and 10 stone and I'm just over a stone above that so I need to lose 16 lbs maybe? But to be honest I look okay at half a stone heavier than that.

I lost this and more by accident to be honest in January - I was trying to lose weight but then became really ill and so it was easy in a way! I lost a stone and a half so was a really nice healthy weight, felt great and so on.

I started to gain again when I went back to work (DD2 was an April 2011 baby so went back after Easter) I found it so tough and I just wanted to buy a bag of sweets after work and then I'd find myself snacking, and slowly but surely gained it back.

So, DH was away for a month and after doing some research online I found a very low calorie product called exante, it's just soups and shakes and so on, I thought I could maybe do it for a month or so but I'm finding it so hard to stick to! This is day 4 and I feel really listless and depressed and lacking in energy!

I think I might be able to stick to it when I'm back at work (I am a teacher so go back september) as I don't eat really during the day as am running around teaching, photocopying stuff and so on ...

I'm toying with the idea of joining SW or similar and doing exante in september to lose the final half stone as that always kills me!

any thoughts for a miserable chubster :)

I'm teetotal :)

Ephiny, it's a relief it isn't just me, it's like something that builds within me, I don't think it's depriving myself during the day as even when I've eaten three sensible meals I get this need to pig out that just builds inside me until I feel I'm going to burst.

Then I feel such happiness and relief when I'm tearing into biscuits and sweets, then I hate myself.

I guess I'm sick of it myself, it plays havoc with my bowels, it's bad for my health, but I just seem incapable of sorting it!
