What diet?

[Mistymoo]

I know I should diet. I don't know my weight but have put on weight - I can tell by my clothes. The thing is I'm not sure what diet.

I have a few hang ups with diets:

When I was younger I was allergic to lots of things and so had a very strict diet which I did stick to (well my mum stuck to for me ) so I now have this thing in my head saying why would I stop myself from eating this lovely food that I can now eat. I know it's daft but there goes.

Also I am on the Pill and know that I put weight on with that. When I came off it twice to get pregnant the weight fell off without me trying and so I feel like I would be trying to loose weight in vein.

I also can't be bothered making different meals for me and the rest of the family. I do think we eat healthy meals.

So what do I do MNs? HELP

Am I take it that you all feel that I have no need to diet???????????

Do you go to a class or is there a book to follow?

mistymoo, have you thought about using a different contraceptive as that would take some of the weight off and then give you the confidence to shift the rest? my nurse recommended the mirena coil - can use it for 5 years and even lighten you periods sometimes even stopping them, just a thought

im another sw fan. you could have a look on the thread, there are loads of ideas there for stuff to eat, might give you an idea if you like it. would try lmg's suggestion 1st tho, have you tried different pills? there was one i tried made me put on 2 stone in a month and it dropped off as soon as i switched. the new pill didnt make me gain weight so worth a try
