I've just finished reading what I missed, so good night Claira, have a fab CD holiday - no cream teas! I think I eat for exactly same reasons as you do- just cos I love food. I too was thin but had a tummy and my mum was always trying to put me on a diet even although I was about 8 stone or thereabouts. My sister is tall and slim and was like a model and my mum would tell people that my sister was her goodlooking daughter and that I was her clever daughter. Oh how I hated that as a teenager! She also only bought me old-fashioned clothes as she said I didn't suit modern clothes! My mum is a good person though and has been very good to me but I certainly didn't like all that. We've had it out though and she has apologised profusely and didn't know how hurtful it all was to me. But the real reason I overeat is because I love the taste of food. esp takeaways and savoury stuff. So that's why I'm fat because I eat too much. I really need to sort this out.
Louie Lou, what an absolutely brilliant weight loss, well done, you must be so chuffed!
LadyB love your communion story! I think God will protect you with the bread, although I know in my church they just have grape juice to prevent alcoholics from tasting the wine and being tempted. Maybe your minister could get some of Claira's plastic food for you! ha ha!
Welcome Susan, this is a lovely group, amazing people and amazing support; you'll love it. Looking forward to getting to know you x
It's been very touching today. I've cried quite a few times reading everyone's stories. But today is a new day and we will be thin and in control!
Although I'm absolutley starving tonight! Had spicy tomato and absolutely hated it! Disgusting! so left half of it and for lunch I had butterscotch mousse which I hated too and couldn't eat! Yet ppl here saying they love these flavours- I hate the mousse so if anyone wants me to post mine to you I can, I've only used 2 scoops. I like chick mush soup, porridge and hot choc mint- they're my favs.

i used to eat because it tasted good, as a kid i always wanted the biggest portion, my sister had all the attention so i wanted all the food, she can eat loads more than me though and stays a 10-12,
when i was 16 and size 10 i had apot belly, my mum and step dad used to take the mick so i started hiding in the loo to eat choc, upto 10 bars a time if i felt bad, then went to look after a friends house and began binging and purging, this went on for a few years, then got my head sorted but still loved food, lived on my own from 16/17 so always ate what i wanted because i could!
the better it teasted the more i ate, and all wrong foods, mainly takeaway, i now know that after i get there and do maintainence i will be living of small amounts, i would like to still go out for food, but maybe have starters, i always like them best anyway, and if i have takeaway i must share, or have a side plate only, hopefully this will work, i still want to enjoy food, but learn less is more. xxx

Yes, totally agree with that. It was the same for me. I had blocked out the part that I really enjoyed living on my own and making my own food decision, and they were a always what I wanted, the bad stuff, as in a protest of what I wasn't allowed growing up I guess. Not very mature :D. But hopefully I have grown now!

When I started dating my boyfriend he did never judge me for eating. He is the only person in the world I have ever been totally open and myself when it comes to my eating habits. Eating in front of him has never been a problem. Felt like he accepted me for who I was for once in my life. That felt really good (but not good for my weight :D). I never had to sneak food or so.
 
Hope you have fun on your trip Claira!

I had a good WI this morning, -5 lbs, and I am so thrilled! A very nice start to the June Challenge! Well, I am off to work. Talk to you later!
 
Good morning. Wowww, Have been playing catch up this mrming. Asa.. Excellent loss, 5lb on week 5.. You are in the same week as me, i have my WI a day early this week on Weds, then will be having it on Sundays til my CDC goes away.

Why is it that ppl in our lifes, think they have the right to talk badly to us.. I can remember my ex BF, I hardly ate in front of men, not sure why, but knew I found it awkward and would shake soo much. So I would pick at my food.. First time I went out to eat with him, it was pizza hut, and he teased me about how I took the first slice of pizza (it was offered) so quick. Ie, to me that was saying I was a pig.. Things like that stick..

Anyway.. a good start to the day, my night shift was good and the lad I look after was as good as gold, after I had put on home alone on repeat for 6 hours, he was chilled out this morning and gave me a big cuddle when he saw me. Off to the day job in a bit, which is giving me stress at the moment, as I have a pig of a manger who likes to bully, patronise, intimidate and put down. Been thinking long and hard about it and might make a formal complaint this week.

Have a lovely day girls. xxxx
 
Well done Asa thats briliant honey.

Hi butterflies how are you all today, well im freezing hehe, snuggled under a blanket at the moment.

Going to do my sits ups and ski machine in a bit, just mustering up to do it haha
 
Morning girls, welcome to the group Susan. Hi Witchy I'm doing well thanks just been very busy with the girls. Have a great holiday Claira and Nikki.

Well done Louie and Asa on your losses this week that is fab.:) Zoexx
 
I almost forgot I had my 4th weigh in this week and lost 5lb so 26lb gone for good and only 2lb to go for my 2 stone mark yippee.

Louie we are matching hun, told you, you would catch up with me before long ;) Zoexx
 
Zoe thats brilliant well done honey, how are you feeling??
 
I'm feeling great thanks Witchy, still very dizzy though. I spoke to my cdc this morning and she says as my weight comes down hopefully the dizzyness will get better. I feel much better with the weight coming off and so pleased it's working :)

How are you feeling Witchy, you must feel great too with your losses.

Hi Nicky, I'm a scatter brain at the moment and I get wrapped up reading other posts lol :eek:
 
Im feeling great thank you, looking forward to seeing my CDC tomorrow afternoon to see what ive lost (my scales have died so no cheating and having a peek).

I do feel more alive doing this diet it gives me alot of energy during the day, i chased my son across the playground this morning (he didnt see that one coming lol), not been able to do that in a long time, so its the little things.
 
Little things like that make a huge difference don't though. Imagine how much better our lives are gonna be when it's all off. :D Zoe x
 
Exactly, im still buzzing that I dont fit into size 24 trousers anymore my mum has had to take them in for me *does snoopy dance*.
