i am a fat hideous frump. i need a medical type cure.

[DisasterArea]

am considering going to the drs. am v fat. lifestyle makes it impossible to eat normal food at normal times. i am also partial to cake and cheese and wine. although i really don't eat loads of crap.
i don't do real exercise. again lifestyle and knackeredness is difficult and am really too fat to do much.
don't lecture me. i am not stupid.
does anyone have any experience of what to say to GP? what to start with? who to ask to be referred to?

Also consider Cambridge Diet.It works the same way,but is cheaper and you don't get the "counselling marathons sessions.

On average you lose a stone every 3 weeks,and up to 11lbs in the first week.Works really well but it is very hard as its all liqued(and/or choc bars)

Sometimes stopping eating completely helps you "readjust" your eating problems.Not having to worry about being tempted and cheating is great when you get into the swing of it.Yes you miss food alot,but when the weight comes off so quickly you stay motivated.

I need to loose weight. Several people have commented on my size recently asking if I'm pregnant again
I'm about 5'6 and 13st 4, not massive but very noticeable.
Can I jump aboard this thread with you guys for a bit of motivation.
I love nachos, cheese and salsa and walkers sensations balsamic vinegar crisps. They're the things I really need to kick, but only have them about once a week.

i have had really good days with no binges
I have been having hot soup for dinner which has been lovely.... with no bread!!!
and lots of water

how is everyone else?

for the record i think walkers sensations crips should be banned!! i love the sweet chilli ones. and quite often have a giant bad. and i wonder why i am overweight

I thought I had had a really good day yesterday - virtually no snacking and I even did some exercise.

And yet I seem to be 3.5lb heavier this morning than I was at the weekend (I know, I know, only weigh once a week....blah, blah, blah but I thought at least I might be the same or even have lost a tiny bit).

Anyway, is it any wonder that I give up before I have even started!

However, I am still being good with the food today, even if I am not doing any extra exercise due to the aches and pains of yesterday's efforts.

For the record all crisps should be banned - I can give up chocolate for weeks (and I really, really love chocolate), no problem but crisps are another matter. I am sure they are injected with some addictive substance.

Another one here with food ishoos, at around the end of April '07 I weighed 18stone on the button and was a size 18 - 20(am 5ft 8")

I didnt go to classes but photocopied info off a friend and tried weight watchers at home, within 10 months (Feb 08) I had 7 stone 3 lbs off - making me 10 stone 11 lbs and a size 10ish (the odd time a 12)

I am absolutely terrified about going back, so to speak. I love food, I still binge but can somewhat keep it under control - I wish I was a "normal" person who wasnt thinking about dinner at lunch time etc... hate it... why am I like this?

I have a question - sorry if it has been asked before.
If you take slimming tablets do you put all the weight back on?
