hi all. i've been on mpf for a while now buthave struggled as i've only had 5 -8 kg to lose. i've never given the message boards a go before but am starting to creep up again to 73 kg and need the motivation to stop and turn it around. i know how it all works yet it still doesn't stop me eating a bucket of peanut m&m's when i'm with the kids watching tv at night. i really need the motivation to get me started again and i don't think i can do it on my own anymore. would really like some help!!

I'm about to send a request as well.
I LOVE candy so so much. I'm like a giant child. Personally I just have to keep it out of my dorm room, that or any type of sweet. I limit myself to purchasing the smallest package sold to help with my sweet tooth.
I know how you feel, I know I shouldn't eat junk but someimes I just do it anyway.
Anyway welcome aboard.

thank you. I've just finished eating dinner and I know the hard bit is going to be not eating til breakfast tomorrow! I've made a cup of tea to at least have something but it's nice knowing I'm accountable. If I could only stop the munchies at night....

Amen to that. Munchies can be evil.
