in Introduce Yourself
Hey guys!

I joined this lil community the other day after a recommendation from my other half (by other half i mean better half)

I've battled with my weight for years and always wanted to slim down and tone up but i really struggle with the motivation. I did it once in the run up to my sisters wedding last year and lost a stone in a few months and i then had a bad case of tonsillitis right before christmas which caused me to lose a further half a stone but this gave me a false sense of security and i over-indulged over xmas and before knew it i was back into my old eating habits and i'm now the heaviest i've ever been (15st)

My biggest mountain to climb is changing my attitude towards food and eating so if any of you have similar problems, drop me a line, any support and encouragement would be VERY appreciated!!

Thanks all!!

Pedzter :)

    Eeek biscuits are evil!!! Lol, that's easy for me to say because I'm not a huge biscuit person. Although wagon wheels are mighty awesome I must say.... Good luck with your weight loss goals - MFP is gold for motivation. Feel free to add me as a friend :D

    Addictions are tough but if given time you can beat them...Don't be hard on yourself and never tell yourself you have to give up anything completely just do them in moderation. I do a cheat day if I'm feeling the need on my weigh in day so that I have the next week to do a bit of extra calorie burning to work off the cheat. If you need support feel free to add me as a friend. :smile:

    Ohhhh Biscuits. Here in the southern US we eat alot of biscuits. And usually they are covered in some kind of gravy. Welllll, not anymore. I have had to give them us to get this weight off.

    Glad you found the site. Good luck in your journey. :)

    Lol! biscuits aren't bad. However, biscuits with a million ingredients in them are. Solution: make ur own biscuits. That way, you know what you are eating.

    I just read that BISCUITS=COOKIES

    I had that problem. The problem is that you are not eating enough protein and real carbohydrates. Your body is craving energy in the quickest way it knows how: a cookie.

    Solution: Eat real food and real snacks (increase protein)

    Good luck!

    my vice is wine - but I've found reducing my wine intake has well been worth the weight loss I've had! Welcome!

    BTW, I drank my first PINT of beer at a german club the other night - it was fantastic!

    Congrats on beginning your journey here! You are a few steps ahead of where I started, as I decided early on that I could get to where I wanted to be without changing my attitude towards food, and it's relationship to my body and mind....My advice is to make a goal, announce it to your supporters, and keeping making adjustments to meet that goal. Then reward yourself (this step was challenging for me, especially in the beginning, because my self-rewards have been food a lot...so I made goals to find other rewarding things too!). It was very challenging at first, but I am finding many things I was afraid to try before, VERY enjoyable)... And remember that you cannot fail at this, unless you quit.

    The people on this site are so helpful and positive. We are blessed to have each other.

    Keep logging!!

    :)

    But it's SOOOOOO hard!

    Especially when you're a beer-monster like me.

    Tell 'em Pete!

    Oh well I totally understand the addiction cookies rock!! Just try to have your better half find recipes that she can modify to make them a bit healthier so you can still enjoy them every now and then with less guilt. :happy:

    Oh, how I love Chick fil a gravy biscuits. I used to eat them several mornings a week. I can't tell you the last time I had one!! I am in the south, too...GA...where biscuits are just part of life. Like sweet tea :) I think most southerners can live on them!!

    Good luck!! You CAN do it!
