Would anyone like to join me? I am a yo yo dieter, a failed WW (could not bear the small portions) failed SW (went wild on Free foods) and I eat too much of the wrong sorts of food. I binge then starve and I want to get out of that cycle. I also enjoy my evening 3 glass of wine a little too much! I feel bloated, pasty, tired and I hate how I look in the mirror. I am about to hit 40, and I refuse to spend any more time hating myself. I want to deal with my psychological food issues, and I want to finally be the woman I am meant to be.
I am 5 ft 2 and weigh 11 stone 3.
My aim- to increase fruit and veg. To cut out wheat as I bloat very badly on wheat. To take as much care over my own diet as I do over the diets of my children and my husband. To not treat my body like a rubbish bin.
As of this morning. I am tired. My skin is pale and blotchy. I am very bloated in the stomach. I am aiming to lose 24 pounds, but want to do it properly and without feeling deprived. I want to make this process luxurious, with a focus on gorgeous healthy food.
Today's plan:
Breakfast - fruit and natural yoghurt with a drizzle of honey.
Lunch - home made carrot and coriander soup.
Dinner - fresh veg risotto.
I need ideas for delicious alcohol-free drinks. Currently I love a splash of grapefruit juice and soda water.
Anyone want to join me? The focus is on good food, and to deal with the psychological issues around bingeing and self hatred. I am not a psychologist, just someone who needs- and can offer support!
Weigh in days will be Mondays and Thursdays.

twinkle fantastic running. What a good weigh in. Well done.
Fish and chips on the beachbaking sounds heavenly.
hazel I think I would have had the roast chicken or spicy sweet and sour 
. But I has reheated Singapore noodles for lunch today 
Tots are in bed. Dh and I are eating later (lasagne) tonight with dh's niece.
I would quite like to just go to sleep.
Morning
Ok, I?m not grinning really. I?m hungover. Woe.
Yesterday:
B ? croissant
L ? tomato and herb mugshot
D ? wild mushroom and cheese croquettes in a tomato and basil sauce followed by belly pork with bubble and squeak
S ? half a bag of quavers. Tea, water, wine (red and white) and gin. No wonder I feel grim.
Didn?t eat much of my main course, it was huge and that always puts me off.
I got on the scales this morning. I got a bit of a shock. So much of a shock I had to get on them 3 more times just to be sure.
8st 12lbs. 
No idea how I?ve managed to lose weight this week. I guess stress does that.
I?m now not getting on the scales until Tuesday. I am cherishing the 8st 12lbs
Have a lovely bank holiday all xxx
