OK I finally came clean with myself

I started a journal on here that should help me stay honest with myself.

So I need to get something off my chest!

I am an uncontrolled weight gainer!

I hop on and off forums, dispensing healthy living advice. I am paid to do just the same in a socio-economically deprived area of the UK - but I am a fraud!

I cannot take my own advice.

To be perfectly honest I started posting here about 18 months ago, weighing 14 stone 4 lbs. I was smug because in 2000 I was a size 24 at that weight, and am currenly a size 18 BUT I am now a whole stone heavier!!!

I smile and explain I am fit - but the truth is that I am no longer as active as I was and I need help!!!

So please help. Post snippy reminders here or in the journals bit. Laugh at me, whatever! Just let me know that I need to be able to walk the walk as well as talk the talk.

Thanks, in anticipation of your lack of sympathy and well deserved harsh words

Stef,
Hello luv, I would just like to day that I thoroughly enjoy all your tips that you've written in the past so I for one hope that I can help you i your endevour to carry on with your weight loss, so here goes, follow your advice and get cracking woman. You've already come so far, just like the rest of us who post here. SO come back often and we'll try to keep you on track. It seems like you're not the only one who has fallen off of the wagon recently, we all seem to have had some trouble, but we can do this...YES WE CAN!!

Stef, I can't be mean But I do want to say that I have always read your posts with interest and appreciate the way you support others! You are a very wise person, but you are still as human as the rest of us! And that's not sympathy, lol. Take some time and read over all of your own posts since you joined. It's amazing how looking back can help us move forward.

Hang in there!

Thanks!

I have to admit that just having posted those words has kept me focussed! I love coming on this forum and won't stop just because I posted something I know I will continue to find embarassing

It must be working cos I have kept to my plan and am currently 3lbs lighter than I was the day I posted!

Again thanks for your support,

Stef, in the title may be the answer "help me to help myself". I don't know about you but I "help myself" to too much at the moment!!! Let's both smack ourselves silly and start again!!
