Hi Friends!
Thanks for the warm welcome - it's good to be back!
Welcome back to Amanda and Mscat - good on you for coming back to the fold!
I've spent some time today giving myself a good talking to about my diet. I've had a close look at why I keep failing at my attempts to lose weight - I just wrote down what was in my heart and lots of stuff came out - some of them practical, most of them psychological. I struggle alot with depression which leaves me feeling numb alot of the time - and food is one of the few things that bring me pleasure. I definately have a unhealthy relationship with food - I use it to 'self medicate', to try to make me feel better if only for a few minutes - but as soon as I've finished I feel worse. I'm trying to understand why I find sticking to a diet so difficult - so I can avoid falling into the same traps again. I'd like to spend some time on this issue with a counseller, but I can't afford it at the moment -and I'm sure you lot are just as good!
I'm going to return to my weightwatchers diet (at home) - because I don't feel I gave it a proper chance before and because Carri is setting such a great example and showing that it really works - if you stick to it!
Well done everyone on your weight loss this week - hope to join you next week!
Love Amanda xxx
