Something has got to change...

[ChesterDrawers]

...but I don't know what.

I am sick of being on a diet, off a diet, on another diet, off that diet to, ad infinitum.

I desperately need to lose the two stone I put on while pregnant four years ago, but I can't seem to stick to anything. I am currently falling off the slimming world wagon, having previously tried most things out there - WW, low carb in various guises, hypno, cal counting...

Not sure what I hope to gain from posting this. I am just so fed up of it all and so fed up of being fat and needed somewhere to rant.

As you were.

In case that didn't make sense I am eating mindfully and eating when Im hungry, not counting calories.

I've not logged into MFP for over a year .... I judge by my tummy bulge and my digestion
the same basic rules for getting lean apply.

That's what I am doing now. Eating like a person who is already thin. I eat a big mac occasionally and a banana thickshake and fries sometimes but because I no longer overeat I usually only end up eating a small amount of it all. I eat whatever I want but stop as soon as I am satisfied. I will never do a "diet" again as I want to eat like a person who has never dieted and only eats for true hunger. Body led calorie control I guess.

Great soup recipe in Hairy Dieter's cookbook, called Big Soup:

ooh thanks Cornholio that looks yum. And nicely seasonal as well.

hello, am I allowed to join in? Restarting nutracheck tomorrow and need people to give me a kick up the arse to stop me eating stuff I really shouldnt. My problem is that I'm a fussy bugger and don't really like veg!

Look forward to seeing your hints and tips.

Hi everyone . Trying to eat mindfully this weekend but not being too strict as I'm not fasting until Monday. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Hoping I lose a pound a two by Tuesday weigh in.

you say you don't like veg - what about soups and stir fries and stews ....

Race day! Just munching a big bowl of porridge with sultanas then I'm off. If anyone's in Cheltenham, come and give me a wave

Good luck Addicted!

Yes I like soups.

Today I weigh 13 stone 4lbs. I want to be under 12 stone :(

Feeling miserable

Good Luck addicted!

Addicted

frankie don't be down! your current weight is the weight I want to be by Christmas (two stone lighter than I am now).

Best soup in our house starts with:
Onion
Garlic
Potatoes
Carrots
Red lentils

And finishes with whatever I have lying about, sometimes celery, beans, tin of tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage, kidney beans, peas, broad beans etc.

But it's just as lovely on its own.

And good luck addicted !!!

Thank you. My size 14 jeans are really uncomfortable today and I think I need to buy a 16 :-(

Thanks all. I did it. First ten miles I was flying but then I hit a brick wall and had to use every ounce of stubborn-ness and self belief I could muster up. Time was 2.18 but I am a broken woman now. Need to refuel.

Hi all! Well using MFP has been an eye opener. By logging everything that I have eaten, I can see exactly where I am going wrong - too much snacking and junk. Not looking forward to weighing on Tuesday but am going to do it and get back on it. Back in work now and so I can plan my meals and hopefully stick to them.

WELL DONE ADDICTED you should be so proud of yourself

Thank you Jeni. Having a small to celebrate.

Well done Addicted! Have a big wine. You deserve it.

Wow, am in awe crunchies!!!!! Super job, well done.

Amazing! Well done addicted!!

Meant to add, I wasn't feeling great on Saturday so I was going to do an extra fast day yesterday. I didn't in the end but I'm not feeling great from what I ate over the weekend. Am fasting today which will hopefully help. I will see how it goes and decide whether to do 2 or 3 fast days this week. I haven't tried 3 before but I think it may help. Good luck today everyone! New week, chance to leave anything not great from last week and start a new week on a positive note. I know I won't have lot a lot when I WI tomorrow but as long as it's in the right direction I'm happy.

Hi all.
Had a weekend of vomiting so I'm guessing the sacked will please me for all the wrong reasons.
Ive never done such an easy diet!!
