Comment that will probably change my life.

An autistic friend of mine told me my bottom was huge and wobbly and I need to lose weight urgently.
She is autistic and just says what she thinks.
Had no idea how horrified and upset I was. But I think it's given me the kick up the pants I needed, I binge eat and have been sabotaging my own diets and pretending I'm not fat.
I can't pretend any more. Being fat is not how I wanted my life to be.
I think I've been fat shamed into losing weight now, I can't pretend I'm not fat any more.

Aw I'm sorry you heard that , Autism or no- that's a very descriptive insult!?

If you are going to get healthy, make manageable goals. Saying 2 stone may as well be 20.
Try 7 pounds /half a stone at a time.
Get your Fitbit out to track calories burnt

Yes life my be boring for while,but it's not forever! Just until you can maintain.

*ive lost 3 stone in 10 months odd, just focusing on a little at a time. Gave up booze. And most takeaways. But now I can reintroduce "treats" as I'm actually less than I aimed for ! So it can be done, albeit boringly!

Thats a really good weight loss London, yes its really hard to think about the 4 stone I have to lose, half stones would be much easier.
Luckily I don't drink but its crisps, always the crisps!!!

Fuckinh crisps lol
Mind change to quavers or wotsits , own brand. Which are about 60 cals

Somebody who lives in reality, whatever other problems they have, is so far advanced of somebody living in delusion.

The encouragement to live in denial and insist the world change has never been stronger.

The biggest step was acknowledging you are overweight. Which isn't a crime or bad. Now the weight loss will be easier than you think because like an alcoholic, or someone with trust issues or any of us, you've faced up to reality.

I'm off for hypnosis this morning, thought I'd try it to help me along.

I had a gastric sleeve, second week of Feb. I'm now 18lbs down.

I've come to the conclusion that the one thing you really crave you should have. If I cut out crisps (same addiction here) I spend all day wanting crisps and eat toast or crackers with marmite which have way more calories than a small bag of crisps.

I have a bag of crisps almost every day but just a 25g bag from a multi pack. It satisfies the craving and is about 150 cals. If all other meals are calorie controlled and very healthy, I don't think an ounce of potatoes, oil and salt will ruin the diet.
