Help me lose weight......

[Rioc]

This is my first post here... I'm 29 and I weight 130kgs and I have type 2 diabetes.... I can't control my food cravings and I also get carried away easily, there are times when I don't want to eat but I see the food and I end up eating more than others.... Now I have made up my mind to lose weight.... But I'm afraid I'm going to give up easily.... As this has happened in the past.... Help me....

I understand this completely. I have great intentions and then are sonething and feel I can't control myself. I don't have any great solutions but just wanted you to know you're not alone in feeling this way

Hi,

Thanks so much.... I thought I was the only the one who couldn't resist the temptation..... But having u (not in a bad way) encourages me to push myself further to lose weight..... Thanks for the support.....

I think we all probably know we aren't the only ones in our sensible times but when we're beating ourselves up it can feel quite lonely when you want a be in control. I start a new journey on the 1st January and am planning to try and be nice to myself and lose 1lb a week... Small steps towards a much bigger goal.

I think most people on this forum are the same... we all know what we need to do but food tastes so nice that we can't resist it.

Set yourself achievable goals ...and take baby steps to achieve them.

The support on this forum is amazing and everyone is lovely..

Let's make 2017 the year we all do this !

Have confidence in yourself. You can do it if you choose to. If you think you will fail then you probably will. I keep telling myself I can do it, I am not a food addict. So far it is working for me despite failing many times previously - this time I will do it. 9 stone to go!
