Well it has been ages since I have been on here, over a year! but have changed my eating plan from SW to WW and had counselling for my over eating.
Since joining WW in June have lost 31lbs which is the most I have lost since about 8 years ago. Have always been a yo yo dieter and been really hard on myself, falling off the wagon if I gained and then giving up, putting on another stone and then going back through the process again. I have forgotten the number of times that I have rejoined SW and said this time is the last time. I have most probably lost 50 stone or more over the years.
Went to my GP and said how low I felt about my weight and she referred to for counselling. It took six months for me to come to the top of the list to see a counsellor but it has helped me so much to come to terms with things and make sense of it all. I am not perfect but that is fine - I do not have to be perfect. If I gain then so what - try harder next week,
I am going to lose weight and get to where I want to be, my weight does not define me as a person and I am as lovable at 20 stone as I am at 10 stone, but I WANT to lose weight for me, be healthy and wear the clothes I want.
Sorry to go on .
