Angry, sorry for the late reply, haven't had a chance to check back for a day or two. Bridesmaid buddies sounds good :-)
Sorry your anxiety is making things difficult for you. Could the attempt to lose weight be causing the anxiety? I find that happens to me. I've been struggling all week with making good food choices and with exercising, and have been really feeling stressed rotten myself. So I've given myself today off (although no binging allowed!), and I feel much better. I will try to do a menu for the next few days when I get home this evening.
Would serving your food on a side plate instead of a dinner plate help you at all? And eating slowly? When I try that, I find I'm fuller on less food. I also just keep crisps and goodies in the house that I'm not keen on, but my son is.
Don't fret about exercise, a PP gave great advice re armchair exercises. You can sit there clenching your bum cheeks or holding your stomach muscles in for as long as possible. Or have a can of beans in each hand and do seated weight-lifting.
lower Well done for putting the cornetto back, I applaud your willpower and respectfully request any that you may have spare... 
Er, willpower that is, I don't need any cornettos!
ginger Please, please don't hate yourself. Without meaning to sound harsh, hating yourself is actually a worse example than being overweight. Just be yourself (waaay easier said than done, I know), and show your gorgeous girls how to have a healthy approach to food. They love you as you are, follow their example. And keep posting, we're all here for each other.
Beech Thank you for your tips, they're excellent. I'm working on drinking around 2ltrs of water a day. Now the weather is better, I really should try to get out more, take my DS out for walks and a run around at the park. Well, he'll run, I'll heavily trot for about a minute, then collapse in a wheezy, sweaty heap
