Hi all, after years and years of dieting but with no success I have decided to give this a go.

I know I comfort eat far to much so any help/guidance would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Lanney

Hi and welcome Lanney

Take a look at the Pinned Posts section, to the right of your screen (bottom, if you're using a mobile) and have a look at the Welcome Newbies thread, it has a link to the NHS 12 week plan, which is a guide to healthy living, rather that a specific diet plan.

Look at the Topics section beneath that, for posts that could answer any questions you may have.

Consider joining any, or all, of our challenges, as they're fun and motivating.

Join us for the monday group weigh-in. If you follow Zest and myself, you'll be notified when we post the threads. However, the latest thread can always be found in the events section, to the right of the home page.

Be active on the forum, as that's where we exchange ideas and get our daily dose of motivation and inspiration

Wishing you all the very best

Hi Lanney

Welcome to the forum, this is a great help with trying to lose weight; people are so motivating and encouraging. I hope you find this helps you on your road to weight loss.

I understand where you're coming from with the comfort eating; I do the same, especially around times of stress. What sometimes works for me is distraction, a new hobby or trying to relax in some other way (I think colouring in does this as I become absorbed with what I am doing, I soon forget about snacking!

Good luck!

I think anything that keeps your hands busy is a good option too as that means you can't use them for snacking.

Hello Lanney and welcome

For me, this is not a diet but a whole different way of looking at food 😊 It is a permanent, life long way of eating, generous calories, and regular treats 😊 This is a great forum and I look forward to hearing more about you weight loss journey 😊
