Need to lose 2 stone - addicted to sugar

[Thecatgotmytongue]

I need to lose 2 stone and I'm definitely addicted to sugar, I eat lots of chocolate and sweets.

I've zero willpower, but really want to lose weight. I've followed a low carb diet before, but don't know if I can manage now. My weakness is comfort eating and the last year has been extremely tough.

Anyone like to join me for motivation? Maybe we can exchange recipes, ideas? Weigh in together?

I'm 12 stone 3 and would like to get down to 10 stone 7 or less. I'm 5'7 and 51 years, so age is not on my side!

Hiya cat

I fell off the world let alone the wagon. Trying to climb back on and planning a 21 day no junk/sugar diet starting Monday (if I make it to supermarket, not been for weeks and am eating whatever i can get my hands on)

Hope you are doing ok

[Thecatgotmytongue]

Sorry to hear that stressed .. Likewise,I lost the plot big time. Have been eating healthily for past 3 days .. Mainly low carb .. Because I feel so rubbish, out of breath when walking .. And I caught sight of myself in a window in town and was horrified.

3 days is great! Sorry to hear you've been finding it tough too, but 3 days is a good run

[Thecatgotmytongue]

I've treated myself to about 4 tiny squares of dark chocolate each day

4 lbs down today

Well done!

[Thecatgotmytongue]

Thanks.

I didn't do too badly yesterday, I had a piece of cake, but otherwise ate healthily, except having about six fries with my chicken salad. I came in at about my mfp allowance.

On my way to London with dd on a coach - but was mortified when someone at the bus stop offered me a seat because they "hadn't realised I was pregnant"! ffs - I'm 51, although admittedly always told I don't look it - and weigh 12'4 at 5 ft 7, so not that huge!

Soooo ... I was going to treat myself today, but now feel motivated to carry on and lose this excess weight asap.

I'll join you, if it's of any help.

I'm mortified at the size I have become. I'm the same height as you but 14stone. I need to get to 11 stone as first goal

I am going to eat clean. So no sugar, caffeine, diary or gluten

[Thecatgotmytongue]

Hi Mjin, yes, please join me.

I'm pretty much the same - I haven't had caffeine for years, but have now cut out most sugar, carbs .. I have some dairy though, mainly cream in my morning coffee instead of milk and a little cheese.

Great! Reading some more of your posts, we have similar downfalls. I reach for the sugar when I'm tired. I ate half a jar of nutella yesterday. Which was stupid, because other than that, I had 2 protein shakes and some homemade lubia (bean stew)

I am LP to 2 kids and work nearly full time. I've been diagnosed as having CFS, so I often get tired!! Am hoping though that weight loss will actually improve that

Will catch up on the rest of your thread today

Good luck today. May the force be with you x

[Thecatgotmytongue]

Thanks

I'm a LP too, since last year. Not currently working, on long term sick.

Dont worry about the nuttela. Put it behind you and start again.

I forgot my bag of healthy food when I went to work

Ah well

Tomorrow is another day..,
