Aaargh I just can't stop eating

[fraggletits]

I so desperately want to be slim. I'm 10st 12 and I need to be 9st 4lbs, I'm only 5ft 4 and I really don't suit extra weight like some people can.

This weekend I've felt more aware of my weight than ever - I've seen 2 slim friends and I just felt like a huge bloater. Sitting uncomfortably trying to disguise the fat tummy and bum. It's horrible and yet monday comes around and all I want to do is just eat.

I just keep putting it off, putting it off 'oh i'll start tomorrow so I'll just eat that now' - maybe I'm aiming too high with my 3lbs a week weight loss plan and should just attempt a pound a week for now.

Any tips for a kick start

Keep a food diary?
Just the act of having to write everything down can make you eat less

paul mckenna, i can make you thin.
it works!

never considered paul mckenna - I'm going to have a look now! thanks

ha, this happened to me - spent the whole summer scoffing despite trying not to - turned out I was pg

well if i'm preggers then that was an immaculate conception

Finally stopped b/fing (only at night) last week, so in my head I might still be 'stoking the furnace'?....appetite should have decreased when I dropped b/fing in the day though

You sound just like me

I am 5ft 5inches and weigh 11st 6lbs and long to be 9st 7lbs.

Would love to lose any weight but find it a real struggle.

Motivation is 40th birthday in May so if anyone can help I'd love some advice.

Good luck fraggletits ( great name by the way)

Fooddiary worked for me before I joined slimming world. The secret is to make yourself record it on paper BEFORE it goes into your mouth

Would you recommend slimming world then ??

i know exactly what you mean. Im desperate to loose 2 stone and have a few days of doing really well and then just blow it by stuffing myself! I just cant seem to hold back to write it down first and then am too ashamed to write it down later so i just end up saying i will start again tommorrow, im so sick of it and want my weight problem fixed!

Have just come back from a swim and feel knackered

Have joined in the Food Dairy thread on here.

Will try anything to lose this weight
