Hello

[ThursdaysGirl]

Hello all thanks for all the encouraging posts I have read already. I am starting over after some very difficult times which have led to me overeating and drinking as a pretty useless way of numbing the pain. I am grateful to have found you and look forward to joining and sharing good and tough days.

Hello and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum ThursdayGirl 😊 and well done on taking the first step,

If you haven’t already then please read the Pinned Posts here healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

This is a very busy forum with lots going on, and nothing beats joining in, reading posts and replying to others. Our group Weigh-in and the Daily Diary are probably the best places to start.

Best Wishes in your weight loss journey

Hi ThursdaysGirl, welcome to this lovely community.

I suggest that you read the newbie pack very carefully,follow every link so that you can find your way around.

I found joining in to be the best way of using this site. I highly recommend joining the Daily Diary where we chat about anything and everything as well as sharing our menù for the day. I've found that my eating habits have improved just by a little more organization.

Another good page is the weekly weigh in,choose which day you prefer to weigh in and become part of a team. I'm a member of the Tuesday Trimmers.

Good luck,🍀

Sorry to read you that you have had difficult times. Over-eating is a classic way of trying to protect oneself and "make you feel better" although it really isnt really good for us .

But the best thing I think is feeling safe with others who get where you're at and support you in making good,healthy food choices. Bin processed stuff, reduce sugary food,eat more veg, build in good fats and low carbs. This might help...

There'll be lots on here to guide you. Don't feel it all has to be done, boom, in one day, take a gradual.approach as you work out what works for you. All best 😚

Hi, ThursdaysGirl , welcome.

If you "slim smart" weight loss is not so hard! It is not all about motivation and masochism.

Some of us here find that what works is a combination of The Low Carbohydrate, High-Fat (LCHF) diet (see the forum here on Health Unlocked) and Not Snacking All Day AKA Intermittent Fasting (IF). See:
