Hi Just thought I would say a quick hello back on my diet/healthy lifestyle.

Today is my first real day and its been a tough one. Beating the initial sugar cravings are the worst but I know that as soon as I get through the first few days I will be fine. Also being at home today due to study leave is rough as when I get bored or procrastinate I tend to eat. Im still taking sweeteners in my tea as I think I will have a complete melt down if I don't have some sort of treat. but over the weekend I plan to switch over to herbal tea to cut out the dairy.

Lacking motivation for excercise at the moment as im feeling the biggest I have been in a long time but hopefully looking to go on a few nice long walks over the next couple of weeks then I may brave digging out the swim suit!

Sorry for rambling on but Im trying to keep upbeat about it while im in a good frame of mind.

Good luck to you all

    We have some things in common: sugar addiction, returning to MFP, emotional or bored eating, motivation to get in the gym.

    My biggest issue - the one that made me quit MFP the first time in a shameful fit of dispair - is eating office candy compulsively. I need help, but I can offer help too.

    Check out my profile and add me if you wish.

    The thing that makes me stop using this site and others is adding to my food diary when I know Ive pigged out or consumed way too much but I know that this is why I need a food diary to keep me on track.

    My sugar addiction is often out of control! I try and keep it in check by promising myself a treat at the end of the day such as a nice cup of low calorie hot choc..... firstly the low calorie hot choc I get absolutely tastes like crap but I get the little choc/sugar fix I carve!

    Dodging the chocs an biscuits at work is pure torture! In my line of work its almost impossible not to have a box of 'goodies' round the Nursing station. I pray for the day someone brings a basket of fruit to say thank you rather than Cadburys Milk tray or such like!

    Would very much appreciate friends and support!
