Why can't I stop eating?

[Sugarfreeriot]

I've got a load of excuses for being hugely fat- clinically obese in fact, they range from going undiagnosed with an under active thyroid for 4 years and being ill to my ex eating crap around me....but it's me, overheating and not moving enough.
I have a vey active 2 year old and we go out everyday but real exercise? Nothing for years!
I used to be a size 10-12 and that was 4 years ago...I'm now a very embarrassing size 26!!! I'm unfit, unhealthy and if I carry on I'll end up disabling myself, I'm 21!!!
I need a kick up the arse! I go on diets, lose some weight and find an excuse. I eat my emotions and I eat to give myself energy (which never really works as I end up feeling stuffed and go into a carb coma).
I'm sick of it. Someone please give me a kick up my fat arse.
What motivates you to lose weight???

Overheating? Over eating! All though I do overheat a lot due to my extra layers of fat.

Sorry to read that you are so unhappy. The approach set out here is what worked for me. Not quickly, but slowly and steadily.

Hope you find some peace around food.

i'm trying to lose weight too.
i find it very hard because:
i love my food
i love junk food and fizzy drinks
i love snacking
i love a few drinks at the weekend
i love takeaways
i think about food a lot
i feel deprived when i diet
i'm trying very hard at the moment and i motivate myself by reminding myself how nice i will look when i have reached my target weight.
in order to try and lose some weight i've cut down on:
bread
meat
pasta
rice
potatoes
snacking in general
junk food
i'm eating more veg, salad, fruit
i'm walking more and trying to avoid the car where possible.
start small.
make small changes.
you can do it.
