Is it just me who does this?

[Rumours]

Or do others do it too?
Every time I lose a bit of weight I reward myself by eating treats again!
Recently I lost about 5 lbs, but now I've found it again
I know why I'm 2 stone overweight, it's because I can't control my food intake, I eat healthily but just too much of it.. I do exercise but then rewards efforts with food, I think to myself that I've just walked 2 miles on the school run so now I can have that bit of cake.
It's a vicious cycle I've got myself into, has anybody managed to break it?

Same here. I'm totally broken inside about my body right now. I too cannot see a way out. Right now I am fantasising about cheesecake, cream and ice- cream. :(

Watching with interest and of course you have my total empathy x

Thanks solesource it's miserable isn't it. I was on such a high with my weight loss the other week, and felt really positive about it continuing, but now I've come crashing back down again.

The fucking weather does not help.

No it doesn't, when it rains it provides me with a good excuse not to go out

Or use the car instead.

Same here Rumours never thought I would get this bad. I never walk anywhere anyway. I'm really fat. brb

Another one of my problems is that ds2 has a nut allergy so I do a lot of baking so he can have cakes and biscuits etc that don't contain nuts, and I can't help but eat it too. I love home baking, whereas I can avoid shop biscuits easily.

I need to conquer my food demons

Hi guys, can I join you? Me too! It's a viscious circle I long to conquer

Hi 40thisisit, we need ideas of how to conquer this, it's crap isn't it. When I'm in the mood to lose weight and feelin positive about it, I can do it, so I need to find away to keep up this motivation.

I reward myself with alcohol which i know is fattening so why cant i just be happy with a diet coke.

Because a diet coke with a shot of vodka or bicardi in it is so much nicer than a diet coke without.

Eating a huge cake and a magnum. Whislt promising myself THIS IS IT tomorrow is day one of weight loss journey

IF GREAT BIG FAT PIGS COULD FLY ..i'd be flying

I do that too solesource, if I'm eating treats I then 'promise' myself that I will start afresh the next day, infact, tomorrow is one of those days.
Also I can behave all day up until the evening and then it all goes tits up

Just ate two breakfasts :(

If you are reading and please do not give me diet advice - been on every diet going - including healthy eating normally unless you understand me. I

Rumours this thread is badly needed

I will keep being honest here
I just need somewhere to go so I can admit my gluttony.

Well I was motivated to be good this morning then remembered I had a friend coming over for coffee and I'd made cakes for us all to have, so I had one. Anyway she's just left and I've just scoffed another and now I'm in the mentality that I've ruined today so stuff it '

I've tried lots of diets too and know its not the diets it's me that isn't working. I need to sort out my mad relationship with food.

I'm stuck. Stuck because I am very fat stops me doing life. Stops me from doing housework, going walking, going to shops, cannot see me sticking to not over eating. Broken,.I am 20 stones +

Have you seen your gp about it? I'm sure you have. My neighbour went to her gp and was given some tablets, like alli bit stronger she says. She's losing weight and still eating crap, don't know how it works but maybe worth a try?

I do this too - especially the losing and bit and then rewarding myself or exercising and rewarding myself! It's just an awful cycle that's so difficult to get out of. I also like to celebrate with food and console myself with food and panic if I miss a meal. I did lose 3 stones at one point before DS but I have it that back on plus an extra stone .

I am getting married next yer and have started looking for dresses. I have had mostly positive experiences but on Saturday I was in a shop where there were no dresses bigger than a 14. It was demoralising and the woman was so snippy! The worst thing was she was bigger than me!

Anyways - i am trying to get back on the wagon and could do with a bit of hand holding!

Ok I've just eaten another cake, but no more.

Lots of hand holding and honesty I think is the answer here. If we can be honest and see it written down then maybe that will help us to see where we're going wrong. I do like the Paul McKenna mindful stuff but it's very hard to stick to, tellin me I can eat what I want is like a golden ticket to willy wonkas!

Yes been to GP, Have you Rumours?

cupcake i understand the goal thing

i got hols in 16 weeks how can I go weighing this much i'll look awful

i must hate myself

i'm very tough on myself

Also if there's cake in the house, I'll eat it, if it's not there, I don't feel the need for it, BUT I want to get to the point where when it's in the house I can resist it.

I've been thinking that life's too hard
When you turn the deck, you get the lowest card
And no-one seems to know when it's sweeter than a rose
And doors begin to close on self love that never grows

No cake I go out and buy it.

Hoping to get my weight lady to come and see me this week.

No I've been to the gp.

We've got to start liking ourselves too.

I'm going to dig out the Paul mc stuff later and give it another read, it makes sense, it's just hard to do.

I will be honest I only have 2 stone to lose, but I've been trying to lose it for nearly 3 years now.
