Hi ffionparsons and welcome to the weight loss forum.

Your not alone with eating too much when stressed and tried but you have now made the first step to taking control.

You are invited to join our Newbie Club, where you can meet other new members who are just beginning their weigh loss journeys too. Here's the link for all the information you will need to find your way around the forum:

Write a brief note to introduce yourself to other newbies and I'm sure you'll be making friends, in no time.

Good luck with your first week.

It is a very common feeling. Tired/cold - food sorts it.

I guess the important bit that I have found is to plan my meals so I always know what I am having (I use the Daily Diary on the forum), I then find it easier to have what I should be having rather than have to think of something else. Good food makes you feel better and you do begin to recognise that.

Take one day at a time and before you know where you are the weeks will be flying in.

ok thank you! where can I find the daily diary in The forum ??

[Ceals in reply to ffionparsons]

Go into the home page then go to the right of the screen (on a laptop) and you will find it in events. It is there every day.

If you check the link that you got when you first joined you will find information about all of the different bits of the forum. And if you wish you can just nosey around and find things.

Hi Ffion

Could I suggest listening to a weight loss hypnotherapy session each night before you go to sleep? (There are loads of them online).

This is a great stress reliever, which also works on suppressing appetite urges ... and you get a brilliant sleep into the bargain!

Hope this helps.

Good luck!
