LeaE said:I'm fine and do feel better for writing it and also yr responses kicked me up the ass abit ! I'm not the only one doing this and loads struggle with their weight no matter how much or how little u both just showed me that it still feels the same for everyone x I do feel better for that post and everyone on this site is proof it works so I consider my rather large back side kicked and I have got a grip so I'm downing my water and feeling greatful that least I'm 2 stone down and I have u all pushing me on x see usually I would have emotionally eaten and instead my bottle of water and minimins is keeping me ok ! And good point made earlier about been able to conceive and being blessed with 2 kids despite being fat ! But to let u know I got pregnant on the pill and coil and I was fat so not sure if that's lucky or not but yes despite my weight I'm defo fertile x
Daisy65 said:I think having a rant is good for you! Your school years reflected mine. I spent most of my twenties and thirties between 1 and 2 stones overweight and frequently refused to go out due to my weight. I gave up smoking 7 years ago and put on 4 stones. I now feel angry that I moaned so much when I was 11.7 to 12 stones as I would be delighted to be that weight now! I now have 2 -2.5 stones to lose which seems manageable and it doesn't seem long at all since I was nearly 17 stones - at the beginning of jan (was already on a diet before starting CD. I feel good now at nearly 13.7 stones and did in fact when I got to 15 stones. I don't think you should look at the next 7stones. After losing a couple more stones you will feel much better about yourself because you will have more energy and your clothes will be too big. It's quite nice just losing weight even if you aren't at goal weight.
Like Annie I have been reading Riley and she does have a down to earth approach. I intend to adopt some of her strategies once I start eating again.
Hope you feel better for letting it all out.

vadey said:Hey Leanne! I'm good joined weight watchers today! So onwards and downwards. I know I won't have the amazing losses you guys have but it's just something I find hard so if I had stick to it like my friends have and not gone back and forth trying everything and anything I would be 2 and half lighter like they are! Nay mind! I'm off to Portugal in 2 weeks with some skinny minnies but I've treated myself to some gorgeous hand made clothes so I feel nice in them. Going and knowing that I'm the biggest as I usually am but there isn't a anything I can do about that now! I've damaged My foot and got to have physio and it's giving me a bit of Jip! You are truest going fab and you will get to your goal just give your self time. You will be able to move up the plans and introduce food and still have amazing weight losses. Keep with it your an inspiration to lots x
