Hi all, I went back about 5 pages and apart from one thread asking about it couldnt see any group of people doing this and talking about it so I figured I would start a thread about it and see if anyone came and joined me?

I started a while ago, lost 6lb in the first fortnight and another 5 in the next two then started self sabotaging but in that 4 weeks i got below the weight i plateau at in every weight loss club i have ever been to so quite pleased. in the last 10 weeks since then i have gained 4lb, i could gain that in a week on most plans when i fell off so still pretty pleased but today is DAY 1 all over again, have had a lot going on the last week or two and need to feel in control of something, this seems like a really good thing to get in control with, so off i go. Anyone coming to join me?

Also anyone else have any comments on the old book vs the new book? Im very impressed with the new book, the self sabotaging bit is useful i think and having the diary built in is great. much easier to read too. i picked it up in a clearance bookstore type place for about £5 so worth looking around if youre comsidering it.

Hoping i wont be here like billy no mates for too long

eating consciously. After years of inhaling meals at top speed in the rare moments a baby wasn't in my arms, I am the fastest eater I know. I also feel I have so many things to do that I have the urge to multi-task when I eat (at least read, computer or television) and then obviously I overeat and don't register properly that I have eaten.

hello steala,welcome to the thread.

i know what you mean about the kitchen ransacking LOL, but nearly 2 weeks in I find that whilst I might lose concentration these incidents are becomign less and also I am bale to stop after a couple of biscuits.

I stupidly got on the sclaes this morning (is day 10) and am very pissed off because I have lost the grand total of 2 lbs but, it is 2lbs off so will keep going. Should have wiated til monday which is day 14.

I have stopped buying any low fat foods (except tesco low fat salad cream as I dont like the full fat version) and have ensured the fridge is full of nice fresh food. I have stopped buying biscuits crisps etc etc and if I ever fancy a bar of choclate and am hungry I can pop to the shop, however, it hasnt happened much since I am enjoying my meals so much. And I dont really get very hungry in between.

Slow but steady I guess ...
