glad to hear that, you can perhaps guess why actually being on holiday in a sunny place helped a bit because you get to see everybody out in skimpies, and you see that there aren't that many perfect specimens out there |

Re: weight loss
I've gone from a 40" waist to a 36" waist in the last few months,
seems that most of it was from walking in the country every day, can't wait till the lighter nights come in and I can go out again after work. that and press-ups and sit-ups etc. I just keep snatching press-ups when waiting for food to cook in the oven etc. or just before work or after work, just snatching little excercise burns in those gaps at home when your simply waiting for something, / soup heating up / something cooking in the oven / waiting before going out too early for something etc. motivation ?...... trying to look my best for any prospective mate ! and feeling happier with my self-image, couldn't face going out when I had a really big belly, I felt hideous and ashamed, SA is debilitating enough without adding any further reason to hide myself away from people. my goal is to go to the swimming baths regularly without feeling self-conscious or ashamed of my body shape. |

Re: weight loss
It's been interesting reading this thread.
I've had a binge/comfort eating problem for most of my teenage/adult years. It's all linked into my anxiety/confidence issues. I've always been on the large side, but get away with it as I'm tall. I try to keep reasonably active with walking and swimming, I'd be a lot worse if I didn't. Over the years I've lost weight, but put it back on.....but over the last few years I've been especially bad I've put on over 3 stone. Last year my eating was out of control, my doctor referred me to the dietician. Last week I had an appointment with the psych at the eating disorder clinic and dietician...so I'm going to see what they do with me from there. I've started keeping my food diary again and writing absolutley everything down in it. Joined the local Ramblers and going on a walk leaders course next week with my local Paths to Health group. I'm determined to change my habits, loose weight. The hardest part is keeping it off! |

Re: weight loss
its hard to lose weight when you get into eating habits but i lost a couple of stone without much hardship by cutting out nightly snacks and alchohol, i just used to drink a mug of bovril once a night after light meals in the day. kept off bread crisps ect, and now feel much lighter.

Re: weight loss
did a double take when i got dressed and looked in the mirror. i could cry. i'm trim
i don't think i suit any "extra weight"...some people definitely do, there's guys at work who look stocky, i honestly think its a cool look, and there are women who are curvy and they look great. i'm certain that these people would be classed as "overweight" but i think they look great - whatever. when i put on weight i'm all gangly limbed with a huge belly, majorly sux. what this is really about tho is that its symbolic of my mental state. you can judge my mental state by my appearance. fat = binge eating = out of control = self harm = maniac = unhappy. when i got my benefits and was able to go part time at work, immediately i lost two stone in two months from the anxiety reduction. i've felt a bit of a difference in my mind this week and i guess i must have been eating different too. jeez. looked in the mirror, couldn't believe it. anyway, lets see how long i can keep this up :rolleyes: |

Re: weight loss
bah okay so here's the "bad" side.
it's like...my stomach is a disaster area. all i've been doing this week is trying really hard to aleviate symptoms of stomach pain etc by eating different foods, eating much less, not eating at particular times of day, and so on. all of this is a complete pain in the ass my stomach has felt much better this week but i've felt a bit...neurotic, trynig to figure out how to keep on top of it. anyway it has had the extremely pleasing side effect of making me lose *ahem* a few pounds, so lets not get too down about it just yet. what would be nice is, in a few weeks time, i got under 13 stone. that would rock. and it just might be doable, too |

Re: weight loss
Awesome. Nothing beats the feeling of losing weight. If you're looking to get some Bio-Oil its cheaper online, nearly half price. This is where I get mine from: http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/bio-oil_v_649.html
It really does work for any type of scar but needs to be used every day for a while to see results. Well done! |
