Hello Everyone
Before my request for help I thought I would say hello to everyone, my internet wasn't working at home now I am looking after a friend's house and 9 pets and using her internet.
Cincorn- So sorry to hear about your health problems, it must be a very anxious time for you and your family . I hope you get all the medical help you need.Congratulations on losing some more weight and hope you can get fitter.
Tuscanny- Hope you are continuing on your regimen
Wannaskip where are you?

Not losing weight is better than putting it on, do not give up.

Motivation , yes that's a tough one. I could suggest writing three things that happened that made you want to lose weight and to write them out. I probably need to do that for myself and look at it often.
Betsy - Keep on going girl, keep active.
It seems easy to give out advice but I am not doing so well and need advice.
HELP!
I find my family and some of my friends are not at all helpful when it comes to my weight loss and I do not know or understand their own motivations for trying to make me put on weight .
Anyway, no privacy right now so will be brief. But am being totally tempted and encouraged to eat ice cream, chocolate, cookies, cakes, potato chips,endless wine you name it, help!
Basically my friend has bought tons of these foods for her family and specifically for me while I am house sitting and keeps phoning me up telling me to eat more and that she has bought four tubs of ice cream for me and doesn't want to see them when she gets back.
I am here cold, bored, tired, stressed, and surrounded by my danger foods ( she knows I am on a diet). Her son is dropping in too and is there at mealtimes and so I don't really have any privacy and he keeps telling me where more fattening foods are. I feel like an ex-drug addict surrounded by every type of free drug and little else to do here apart from watching the TV. Please can anyone think of something practical I can do so I don't leave here a few pounds heavier. Last time I was house-sitting here I focussed on trying to have self-control and completely failed.I am house-sitting for her also later in the summer and I need to learn to be around my danger foods somehow without suffering or eating.
Thank you my online friends!xx
