Weight loss chat

A space to talk openly about weight loss journeys and challenges. Mumsnet hasn't checked the qualifications of anyone posting here. You may wish to speak to a medical professional before starting any diet.

Anyone fancy exchanging texts for mutual support, esp when temptation strikes?

I'm a daily binger and need help to stop and think before I take the first bite of something I won't be able to stop eating (usually chocolate, cake, crisps etc). I don't have a weightloss buddy and wondered if it might work if I had someone I could text when I was feeling tempted - someone in the same boat, I guess, who would talk me out of it or send me a few words of encouragement.

Please post here if you're interested - the more the better. You'll need to be a happy texter who always has your phone on you! Oh and I guess I'll only give my number out (via private email) to other regular/long-time MNers ...

Can I join in here? I need a poke just before lunch and early evening to stop me picking! I am on a perpetual diet - only a yo yo one!

Something has to change!
