Needing guidance

Hey guys,

I have been using food to make myself feel better for so long that I don't really know how to cope now. I want to improve my health but it's like I have this huge obstacle in the way that turns me right around when I'm on track. I know what I have to do to improve my health and look better but I am always bewildered when I find myself stabbing me in the back! Just wanting to know if anyone has gone - or is going through - what I am and what strategies you used to stop feeling so attached to food. I know it may sound pathetic but I honestly don't know what to do! I am not a lazy person in the way of everything else and I don't know why I am always doing this to myself.

Thanks

I am sure a lot of people on here have exactly the same problems you need to find ways of motivating yourself. You obviously want this to be here, someone I knew when struggling put the equivalent weight they had lost in a sack and picked it up to make themselves feel better when they felt like quitting. I put a fiver in a jar for every pound lost (£400 since january 2013), when I reach my target I am going to need a new wardrobe, I also add workouts to cover any slips I have along the way. You need to work out a way of motivating yourself to stay on track whether it be friends to encourage you or pictures of you at your heaviest and now to compare, every ones different but I am sure that you can do it you just need to want it enough.

That sounds like a really good idea to put money in a jar for every pound lost. Thanks.
