I'm not even goi9jg to tell you what I have eaten in the lasyt week, bevcause quite frankly, it's disgusting

I'm going on holday next week to Kefalonia, and it will yet be another 2 weeks of emabrrassment because my fat arse is hanging out of everrything I wear

I just can';t stop myself from eating. I'm quite stressed at the mo (hjva e just started hjob again after 3 yaers) and coupled with 2 other jobs I have, polus looking after the children full time, all I seem to do when I am not woirking is binge eyta. I have a feeling I have put on the best part of half a stone this week I am so fucking ashamed oif myself it hurts tbh

UI thought I'd be slim for this holiday (I have ebben going to Slimming world for nearly 2 years ) I lost nearly 2 stoime, but it's piliong back on again because I have fuck all will powerr.

I really acn't face this holiday tbh. Yet another yaer of wearing trousers and fucking loing sleeved tshirts ebcause I'm too fat for owt else

dresses instead of trousers? i've seen your pic you are very pretty..noone will notice a bit of flab when your face and hair are fab...ps that was poetic

This might not help but when I am feeling self concious I think of large ladies who look good even though they are big, you don't look and think 'fat' - you think 'ooh, look at her hair' or something else. You CAN be not size 0 (or 14 even ) and be comfotable and confident. I know this is going to sound horrible, but imagine you were 5 odd sizes bigger than what you are, people would killto be your size (dunno what size you are) or even be aiming for your size. And think of the people who really do have things to be self concious about... I don't mean that horribly, just it's something I think about xxxx {{hugs}} xx

Quootiepie · 12/09/2007 18:02

OMG< is that your pic? Seriously, I am being 100% honest you have NOTHING at all to be worried about, your gorgeous! I think I am tons bigger than you judging by the pic and I wore shorts this summer. Feck everyone else.

Quootiepie · 12/09/2007 18:05

sorry, I know I keep posting but make sure you get the right sizes for things, don't think because you have squeezed into a size smaller your a better person, that's when things do spill over if you are say 16 + (you don't look it in your pic) go for the specialist ranges because they are made for bigger people, not just made on a size 10 model and made bigger, they fit alot better. I am sounding like I think your fat now, but just trying to help x

I don';t know why I eat so much. I am rearely hungry (probably because I am always scoffing) I often don;t really taste my food.

I just feel like a discusting excuse for a person at the mo. (well, all the time tbh) I know self pity isn't an enderaing quality, but at the moment, it consumes my every waking momnet (how very sad) and I really have bigge things to worry about

I'm, als0o a terrible example to my children. I can herdly tell them to eat loits of fruit anfd then secretly scoff a whole pack of biscuits and 2 large bars of choclate (like I have this afternoon)

I'm not just a bit lardy either. I'm 5 stone overweight

I eat and eat too, I can wolf down packets of biscuits or take away 3 nights in a row because I am tired - seriously there are worse things you can be a bad example about for your kids! 5 stone isn't 10 stone, or 20 stone. Think of literally 5 pebbles. That's all you want to lose. 5 stone really isn't alot! Maybe see if you can have 6 days a week you are good and one you can eat anything... so if you really feel like something, think 'oh, it's (eg.) Friday in a few days then I can have as much of it as I like'. Come that day you won't actually eat as much junk as you think you will, but knowing you can in a few days helps you get through. Or even one good day, one bad day - at least that will be halving your biccie intake Once you feel just a little healthier from eating fruit you actually feel slimmer because you don't feel, you know... that just eating a whole box of jaffa cakes feeling. Hope that makes some sort of sense !

You're beautiful Really.

I am a SW member too & at times it can be slow, but do you think you might try going again?

At the minute I am like a yoyo! My weight is always going on & off..

I go through binge phases too from time to time (far too many times!)

Are you eating through boredom? Stress? I think sometimes when you pinpoint what your trigger is, it gets easier.

If you are still a member of sw could you try & do an SAS log for a week & see how you get on?

IntergalacticWalrus · 13/09/2007 11:07

I need to do something.

I woke up this morning and told myself the bingeing has got to stop, so I am going to start doing things like not sitting at the computer while I am foing my work scoffing food.

I am very stressed at the mo, I love my job(s) but I feel like I have to spread myself a bit thinly sometimes, especially as I am with the children pretty much full time too

Thank goodness DS1 seems to have grown out of his terrible twos (shouldn't say that shouyld I? I'll probably jinx it now) he's generally quite well behjavced, otherwise I'd flip I think

Anyway, I had a chat with DPO kast night, and he said he'd help by paying for me to go swimming (wehich I love) when we get back from holiday, as it's his opinion that I'm probably stressed because I'm knackered and that I need some time for myself

Life is TOO SHORT not to enjoy your holiday. I looked at your pic, and you are gorgeous. PLEASE enjoy being yourself. When you are 5 stone lighter you will still look the same, just a bit smaller. People really overestimate the change that losing weight brings about I think; obviously it's great healthwise and it does get us looking our best, but we still look like us, only smaller!

Get yourself a couple of kaftan style tunic tops, marks and spencer have some gorgeous ones this year, you can float about looking glam and gorgeous and you'll be cool. I've lived in that style of top this year.

I so hope you enjoy your holiday.
