Danger foods

We all have them!   Mine is crisps/potato chips, I could eat them all day everyday and never seem to get fed up of them.   I recently tried a system for over eaters which entailed making all foods legal. You have to make sure you have enough of these foods in your home so that youfeel secure in that you can eat them whenever you want, the idea is that once you've eaten as much as you like the 'forbidden fruit' doesn't taste as sweet and you then give up your obsession with it and then are a

Why am I overweight?

I feel that lots of things have contributed to my eating problem, low self esteem, anxiety,depression etc. It all started when I was a kid. I was a fussy eater and my parents were poor so food was limited in the house, we had enough but not many treats like most of my friends houses.   When i started school my weight was normal but as we were so poor I had to have free school meals and as I was sooooo fussy i very rarely liked anything on the menu so I would virtually starve all day, to come

healthy eating

I am officially eating healthier!   I did say healthIER so I am still eating chocolate and crisps BUT my evening meals are now very nutritious.   Last night for example I had a small grilled steak with a small helping of new potatoes and a large spinache, tomato and onion salad. It was the first time I had ever eaten spinache but I've gotta say the meal was delicious!   WELL DONE TO ME!!!!:clap2:

GRRRRRRR

I cannot believe how negative and unsupporting people can be at times, I just read a very dissapointing message on the forum and it annoyed the hell out of me! I've taken the id name out cos I don't wanna cause trouble but here is the exact quote that a future bandster wrote to a bandster.   [b]*******....A year has passed and all you lost is 32 pounds? that doesn't seem like asuccess rate to me....Sounds like .5 pounds a week.[/b]   How awful?   Turns out this person had got dates

I want to be banded!

Well it has taken me a year to make the decision, but I have finally made my mind up!   I am going for it!   I know there are risks and I know it won't be easy but I believe the band will help me change, if I work with it.   My hubby and I are saving hard for this as I have decided not to try the getting it done on the NHS (UK), If I go through them then I could be waiting a good couple of years for the op, call me inpatient, but I have been fighting this thing for the last 12 years of my
