Hi and welcome, Jules0113

Write a list of all the reasons you want to lose weight and stick it on your fridge, along with a picture of yourself. Then decide not to go on another diet, but to find a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.

You're welcome

I second what Moreless has suggested. Regular forum activity helps so many people, 😊

Make this forum and those in it your friend and try to lose the idea that you are dieting. You are going to be eating and drinking in a generous healthy way that will be kind to your body and your mind.

Good luck!

Thanks, that was a really positive comment, I appreciate it

Hi Jules. I bought a 20kg bag of dry sand yesterday to get me to feel what it is like to carry that much unnecessary weight around in my body. I can't believe it. My plan is to take sand out of the bag equivalent to the weight I lose every week with the idea that I will empty the bag. This is my motivation.

[Jules0113 in reply to Aimingfor70]

That's a good idea, good luck. I hope you succeed

Think of the clothes that are maybe in your wardrobe, that will soon fit better, I had 3 sizes and am now at the lowest. Makes you feel good, also people are noticing. So I think it is worth you trying Jule

[Jules0113 in reply to san_ray70]

I do have clothes which are a bit tight and I don't feel comfortable in them, 'd love them to feel loose on me - that's a good goal. Thanks

Not a diet but healthy eating required.

I fell off the wagon again this week but as with last few times of this happening - I have let it be only for a day and have gone straight back to healthy eating by the next morning - and more importantly have not beaten myself up about any lapse!!!

Also for me extra walking and exercise has been crucial.

[Jules0113 in reply to Carowood]

Yes, I'm beginning to understand it's about having a healthy eating lifestyle rather than seeing it as a diet. So when we have a bad day you just go straight back to the healthy lifestyle. We're sometimes to hard on ourselves... Thanks
