hello lovey, hope you feel a bit stronger and happier today, sounds like you've had a rough time of it, so very well done for addressing something that you want to do just for yourself and your own well being.
yes, we do all feel like giving up when this whole dieting malarkey gets tough, i know i have. I've given up so mnay times over the years, i eventually ended up at over 21 stone..just be taking the easier option. or just be not being strong enough mentally to deal with it all at the time!
Your mind has got to be in the right place for it to work hun, all i can advice is that you do it at your own pace, its not a race, even if you lose a lb a week for a year, it all adds up and the extra weight will come off slowly and steady.
Only you can decide if you would be happy 'giving up' and accepting yourself as you are, only do this for yourself hun, not because you think other people want you to look a certain way or weight!
Personally i would keep going because feeling happier in yourself leads to a happier and more confident mind.
good luck hun, if you need a break from it, then do that..and come back to it when you feel able to, in the meantime keep posting, just for a chat..there is no pressure on you to stay on track 100%, just do your own thing...but please don't leave the forum, keep posting and chatting while you decide what to do next!
Many people have to try countless diets before they find the one that works..you are not alone hun x ....keep strong!
