Please bear with me as i'm not used to how these sites work. I have been dieting since a young teenager -although i was not overweight until my late twenties (distorted view of my own body and of food) and have tried slimming world a few times and had moderate success although im not good at sticking to it. Im now about 3 stones overweight and in considerable pain due to back and knee problems. I know that when i weigh less the pain is less but still i eat!! Im now tired of the guilt feeling of overeating which i have carried with me for the last 30 years. I have managed to give up smoking 1 1/2 years ago and now need to kick this excessive eating. Im hoping this site will help, both in getting support and getting an insight to other peoples experiences
