Josie spoke a lot of sense. I'm both an emotional and binge eater. I eat when I'm happy or sad, I eat when I'm not even hungry. It's a bad habit, one I'm hoping to tackle once and for all.

I'm hoping to do more original days and extra easy than green. I did a few weeks on Atkins and have not really bothered with bread, pasta or potatoes since - well not as much as I used to eat of them anyway.
I'm hoping these symptoms will calm down has I start to lose wright again. If they haven't gone by my first interim target then I'll go and get checked

That looks like fab day!!! I've had some very thoughtless remarks put my way including being asked outright ''Just what DO you weigh?" A guy at work thinks it's ok to comment on my weight just for laughs, but when I pointed out that he was hardly a stud,being short and bald with a beer belly,I was a ***** who ought to worry more about the size of my arse than the size of his gut!!! Just be thankful that we aren't as bloody horrid as these people. Keep up the good work xx

After just posting on a friends diary it's made me realise how often I've reflected on my weight these last couple of weeks.
Mainly on how much I've missed out on with the kids not being active with them and not having holidays etc because I can't control what I eat and now I'm paying for it in how my weight impacts hugely on my health, and my children are past the stage of wanting to do stuff with mum.
There's been a switch flicked in my mind over the past week or so.
Don't ask me how, why or what, because I don't know. But I've become very reflective on my weight and how for the majority of my life it's impacted on it negatively and it's started to make me think differently about this weight loss journey and that I actually might reach the end achieving my goal at last.
Tonight I had a SW Christmas pudding flavour hi-fi bar. They where selling them
off at group 2 boxes for £1.50. They are delicious and I actually said to T over Christmas time this year I'm going to buy quite a few boxes of these because they actually taste nicer than Christmas pudding, mince pies and Christmas cake.
The point I'm making is I've never looked that far ahead before and been realistic knowing that no doubt this Christmas and next Christmas will be spent being teetotal and doing SW so I can get where I want to be health and weight wise.
When I walked back into that class this morning not only did the consultant come over to me and give me a massive hug but a few others did the same. I felt utterly humbled. But for the first time in a long time I felt comfortable with what I was doing, almost settled with the fact that this time this journey is not just me week in week out but all these other people in the room too, the ones who clap for you when you've lost weight and try and comfort/advise/help when you gain.
My mental health has never allowed me to process a room full of people like this before or the actual group mentality of a SW group - but like I said something has clicked.
I've even set 2 interim targets and a final target, something I've never done before and been serious about it.

That was really inspiring to read...and so similiar to a few thoughts I've had recently. I was plotting potential weekly weight loss on a wall chart,allowing for a realistic gain whilst abroad..I always gain!!...and even Christmas!!! I was telling myself I don't need to buy a gazzilion bottles of wine and I can survive on something other than cheese and crackers. Last week I finally sat and sorted years worth of holiday photos into albums. What did I find??? Literally hundreds of hubby and daughter and very few of me. And even those show me looking very self conscious and,well,fat. I don't just need to diet anymore,I need to change my outlook and my life.

I have just written a similar post in response to what you and Micci put on my diary. Mad me all tearful (yes I do have PMT!!). We are there Hun and we will do it. It's that kind of sense of calm and acceptance about it that tells me: not panic, not desperation, not anger or impatience but just knowing this is how it's got to be and that's ok. We are just overweight and Weight can be lost. Xx

I would bet that if I looked through my photos they wold be the sane. Just looking through my phone photos the only ones of me really are neck and head ones and I generally delete any of me of whole body.
Reflection is good - it's shown me how many flippin years I've wasted avoiding the inevitable.

I actually feel chilled and relaxed and quietly confident this time.
We will definitely succeed this time. We will have our gains and our doubts, and our bad weeks, but I'm confident this is gonna be the full journey!.

Awww I didn't know that
the skinny cappuccino are lovely. I'm not normally into yogs, but have to be honest and say that these have stopped me binging a few times and they do have some gorgeous flavours. Mind you I tend to eat ff Greek yog and ff natural yog, I like the tang.Lisa xxx

These might be of particular interest to you J and M...
They are only 2 syns per fruit stick and they are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Now I know they stock them in major supermarkets and also Holland and Barrett but I got them from the pound shop. I bet they're a lot more expensive elsewhere.
I love the taste, a little bit like a fig roll without the roll bit
