Hi

Hi, don't really know how to condense my words in to one tidy little introduction when I'm likely to ramble for hours on historical weight obsessions & binge eating/food avoidance, as you do! Never really had the right attitude towards food/health/exercise, my approach tends to fluctuate with no consideration given to the longer term.

To summarise, after a period of "binge-eating hermit mode" towards the end of last year my weight soared to 14 stone 10. My weight until I was approx 27 was around 9-9.5 stone on average, gained a bit after a 5 month hospital stay & various related medications, but weight gain accelerated due to the combination of an office job (previously barwork kept it down), a broken leg in the early part of 2015, anxiety and the resurgence of binge eating. I'm now 30 to clarify.

I stopped consciously binging & obsessively weighing myself around December. I naively assumed the reduction of 1500-2000 unnecessary calories a day would have a noticable impact on my weight- well, it hasn't gone further up is about the only effect! So I figured it was time to throw in some exercise to kick-start the metabolism & get back in to shape, combined with a better diet... which is pretty much where I'm at at the moment!

So to all & any in a similar situation, let's hope we can iron it out once & for all & stop all the illogical b*llshit that flows through our heads knocking us off track this time!
