Hi,
I have been various BMI's in my life. More recently BMI 24. For the past few years I have been BMI 22 or 21 - in a good place, before that I was BMI 26-27 eek. I am currenly very bottom heavy so look a little but ... cuddly on my lower half but small on my top.
My weight has been creeping up recently as has my appetite. Today i totlalled up my daily kcal intake... I eat 3000 kcal a day yes i know I'm a fatty! I am actually amazed I haven't gained more.
So now I need to do something about it, I emotionally eat, I'm a snacker, I binge a bit, I am terrible at time of the month. Now i would like to change. I thought that this morning then spent all afternoon working at my computer then suddenly eating a healthy snack but then moved onto the cheese, bread, biscuits - whilst working!
I start overeating as soon as I wake up really and am wondering if breakfast is actually a downfall rather than a benefit _ i am aware breakfast whether I have it or not is not a only factor.
My questions to you lovely mumsnet people is
- What works? yep the secret please? how do you stick at it most days?
- How do you not overeat - for those who are binge overeating prone.
- Does breakfast help or not?
- A bit of a long shot does anyone know where to go for CBT - there is nothing for me locally. I would rather do it online too.
- What do you turn to improve your mood?
