Karen, those injections sound terrible and it must be hard to stay focussed on weight loss when you have so many health issues. I know I would turn to food for comfort in those circumstances...then I'd feel guilty....then I'd beat myself up and turn to comfort food again!! Keep hanging in there, you're doing so well!
Sue, I know what you mean about the psychology of why we binge etc. I could have written the book too! And I still can't work it out why I take it out on myself, after all, I'm not hurting anyone else with my chocolate binges. So many of our bad eating habits must stem back years and it's difficult not to revert when life kicks us in the teeth.
Keep on doing what you're doing PP and the weight will come off eventually. Have you looked at the size of your portions? I know I can slip up very easily and sometimes turn to the kitchen scales and measuring spoons for a week or two to get meals back in proportion. It's amazing how many calories/WW Propoints etc a little exra shake of rice or pasta can add!
I'm up and down with food at the moment. I have lost a bit of focus and am overeating. I had seven of my famiy for dinner last week and made some terrific food, overindulged on the vino and have stayed off-track all week. I'm still going to the gym and dread to think how much I would have put on without the exercise. I'm doing a spin class this evening and coming home to a curry from the Hairy Bikers' new book, 'The Hairy Dieters', which has lots of great-tasting, calorie controlled meals. I think you should all treat yourself to it!
Something from one of the US fitness and diet pages I follow on FB:-
Have a great weekend, everyone xx
