Lets just start by saying that I love food, I love it......a lot.

I have eaten myself to a shocking 22st 0.5lb and by eating, I should say dieting! I know that sounds crazy but I diet for a little while then miss all the foods I love so binge and then can't manage to get myself back onto said diet so every single day I tell myself "I'll start tomorrow" and then proceed to eat all around me because I knew it wouldn't be an option tomorrow (but tomorrow never came so every day was the same and my weight got higher and higher)

I am hoping this way of eating will be the key to my psychological issues with food.

So I started yesterday at 5pm. I decided (with DH's help) that a 5pm till 5pm timeslot would be best suited to me as I never have to go an entire day on a diet (at least to begin with anyway)

I have to say that by 3pm I was hungry but I knew I only had to last until 5pm for dinner and I managed to do it! A whole 24hours on only 500 cals! and it wasn't bad at all. I really, truly feel like I have finally found a plan that can "cure" me lol

So it's now my up day until 5pm tomorrow.

I'm going to try not to weigh myself too much as it only disheartens me. I have my start weight and that's the main thing.
Now in saying that, I am the weighing queen so this may not last, but I hope it does. Sure we'll see. I really want the big surprise when I finally do decide to weigh myself

Thanks Passionflower.

Hi Va Va Voom my story mirrors yours. I have always started a diet and lasted a while, binged and said I'll start again tomorrow never happened and consequently my weight soared!

A huge well done on surviving your first DD. I'm a compulsive scale user too in fact it's more of an OCD thing, jump straight out of bed strip my pj's off and jump on the scales and do it again before I go to bed!! Sending you good luck vibes in your quest to lose weight and for not jumping on the scales
