Hi everyone! I am new to this but optimistic :-)

  • Hi all!

    I am Angela from Camberley in the UK. I am 26 and the chubbiest I have ever been :-( I know what healthy foods are, I am not naive about portion size and I know I need to do plenty of exercise... or any at all! However I just can't seem to stop munching! The more I eat, the bigger I get and the more unhappy I am... vicious circle!

    SO! I thought maybe by joining a group like this might make me feel less alone and also give me somewhere else to put my focus rather than on what I can pop in my mouth next!

    Happy to be here!
  • Welcome to the forum!! I wish you much success in your journey!!

    Everything you have said that you do, I am exactly the same, I plan to start dieting every day and then 5 minutes later I am putting whatever first comes to hand in the kitchen in my mouth, I am not happy unless I have consumed it's entirety either. I buy boxes of creme eggs, do I only have one, nope all 3...I wouldn't say I've managed to polish off a 6 pack all at the same time but 3 is bad enough!! We could keep each other motivated if you like

  • Many thanks Shutterbug :-)

    Eilidh - I know exactly what you mean! Whenever I describe my eating habits to people I describe it as "the food is talking to me". I cannot buy a multipack of anything with the intention of 1 a day because once they are in the cupboard they niggle at me until they are gone. This is the one thing I would really like to find an answer to because I really feel its my biggest downfall.

    Lets be buddies!
  • Welcome Angela, Glad to have you join us. My advice is to look for a Support group, Chat, or Challange to join; small groups make it easier to get connected. Most sub-forums have groups covering almost every need, find one that inspires or motivates you and just post to join. Be sure to check out the UK Chicks!
  • WELCOME! and good luck, I know you will succeed!
  • Angela -
