Need to lose weight

Need to lose weight, not a problem I know how to do it but my lack of will power and generally feeling unwell does not help. Last night we had pork chop (grilled) on top of mushroom stir fry, very tasty. This morning I have made waffles and added some grated pear and served with plum and satsuma and sugar free syrup

I need the same. I’ve found that having someone cheer you on is always a motivator. So I’m cheering you on!

Hi, SecondLife & Frsussed! 👋

It mayn’t necessarily be a lack of ‘willpower’, but our biology ( 🧪 🧫 🧬 ) that overrides our best intentions? 🤔 😯

Have a ‘look see’ at JAS9 ’s video 📹 from Dr. Douglas Lisle about "The Pleasure Trap": healthunlocked.com/healthye...

See if it strikes a chord 🎵 with you? 🤔💭

Best wishes on your weight loss journey & feeling better. 😌 🙏 🍀 🌺 🌞

Oh . . . once you start feeling better (as eating nourishing foods help sustain you), it can become easier to avoid falling into our biological ’Pleasure Trap’. 👍👍

Hi there,

To me this is about changing habitual eating and you need to change your relationship with food and your perception of food, so instead of seeing a sugary item as a treat seeing it as something that will stop you from losing weight and keep you unhappy.

This is why many people practice Intermittent fasting as it helps to re-set our relationship with food.

There is HU's Weight loss group:

And HU's new forum may be of interest to you:

You also have to have adequate exercise coupled with a healthy diet and I wish you well with this. 😊
