The scales are not my friend anymore!..help me get back on friendly terms with them ;-)

[PinkChick]

Lost 3stone 2 years ago taking reductil, stopped taking them as thought i could do it myself and failed 8-(...2 years later have tried and stopped and tried and stopped..got on my scales today and ive put 12lbs on (but still had at least another 2stone to lose before that!)

Dont want to go down road of slimming clubs again as they dont work for me and cant afford it, so if anyone can share nice recipies or tips on how to stop feeling so bloody hungry all the time and wanting everything thats bad for me id really appreciate it .x

1. Don't beat yourself up about it 2) Write down why you want to lose weight 3) & conversly why you should stay the same weight as you are now 4) try not to buy foods that you know are your trigger foods 5) Plan your meals 6) Exercise - come on over to the SHRED DVD thread - its fab & works.

any further questions we are all here for you

Ah thanks Joby1970, i'm concerned this morning that my scales are actually wrong and i weigh more as they showed totally different this morning, not just a pound or 2? ..so am getting back to the gym in the morning, got day off, mum is having dd for an hour and am going to work my (fat) backside off

i AM devastated that i put nearly a stone back on again , i said when i lost the 3stone that id never eat that way again but obv it was the reductil and not me that was stopping me eating ..now theyve been taken off the market its cold turkey with everyone else

im very unhappy in myself being this size, im still 16/18 and am pleased at that as i was 22/24, but the clothes are getting tight now and i always said i would NEVER buy bigger sizes again.

im approx 14 stone 12lbs and want to be 12st, at my lowest i was 14st, that was 2 years ago.

Ill pop over to your thread when i get a bit longer, thanks for your tips, am going shopping tonight so am trying to buy lots of fresh stuff and make more casseroles, dinners etc things with plenty of veg.

Another prob i have is i used to eat/enjoy lots of carbs when i did slimming world, but now i seem to have developed an intolerance for 'white' foods like new potatoes, white rice, white pasta etc!?...have converted to wholemeal pasta, but love my spuds!?
