Hey Candygirl, thanks so much for your reply!
I've only just joined here and I was a bit shy about posting at first. But I really need to be accountable and have a place to talk about my struggles, because all my slim friends either don't understand or they are too sympathetic - like "Oh you don't need to lose that much weight" etc etc.
The hardest part is knowing I'm in for the long haul - I have a lot of weight to lose and it's daunting! But ironically, thats what's different about trying to lose weight this time, and why I think I'll be successful - because I've acknowledged that it's a long-term thing, not just something I have to do for a month.
So when is your temptation time? I know for many people it's the afternoon, when your energy slumps and you feel like reaching for the chocolate. For me, it's the night, after dinner.
