WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: Self-sabotage & emotional eating risk when a depressive episode combines with stressful circumstances.
WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I'm not dieting. I refuse to berate myself with guilt trips for the occasional binge. I went for counselling to solve other problems in my life, and new self-respect grew from that, which makes me want to treat myself well. I've been doing Intuitive Eating, gentle exercise, and little lifestyle changes (officially) since 10 Dec 2012, and have lost 11lbs. I'm on here because of a 3-donut, 2-mars bar binge that I had last night. I'm under a lot of stress just now which I can usually handle, but when this combines with a brain-storm of suicidal proportions, I need some help. For once I'm willing to be kind enough to myself to talk to others who understand, and let that support help me through the hard times, back to where I want to be. Plus, I know myself much better these days, and while I technically have no willpower, I have a lot more perseverance which will help me get back up when I get knocked down
