    Yes, its really sodding hard.

    I relapsed last week and gorged my face, and felt hideous after!

    Dieting alone is not enough, you also need exercise - something i have recently discovered myself!

    I still treat myself to choclate and treats, but its about knowing when to stop. something that has taken me 2 years to control!

    if you want it, that badly, then you will succeed. but only whilst realising its not just a diet, its a lifestyle change too!!

    I have been dieting for 3 months and it's been quite up and down, but I lost a stone so far. However, I feel like I am losing control and problems I had with binge eating and compulsive over eating is getting worse. Binge days are getting more and more frequent again, I am doing bad things again. This is really impacting upon my weightloss and I feel like I could gain back all my losses. It is total sabotage :(.

    Also, my spending on food is getting silly again and that is making me really worried, financially. Does anyone else have this issue??

    I am 21 is 3 days and this problem ruined my teens basically, I want rid of it now for adulthood, sick of it. I am getting some help from a specialist weight management course by the national health service from 20th, I just hope it works, it feels like my last resort.

    Maybe you should stop trying to "diet" until you start working with the weight management specialist and I would also see someone about eating disorders. Just in a therapeutic way. Someone to check in with occasionally to help you put the entire picture into perspective.

    And eating healthy doesn't have to be expensive. make core list of items and just stick with that. Sales are your friend too. My core items are perdue chicken breast, sweet potatoes, kale, salad greens, tilapia, brown rice, plantains,. eggs, and so on. I plan my meals out a head of time and buy for that week. I buy frozen vegetables which cost cents. Rice cost nothing, buy store brand or off label. When I buy chicken I only by it on sale and then I load up and stock my freezer. I get 36 eggs for about 3 dollars a big box store (and I eat 6 eggs a day). I'm assuming since your going to see someone from the NHS your in the UK or something and I'm not sure what the prices are for fresh produce and meats, but if you can't buy fresh, buy frozen, if not buy canned with no salt added.

    I had the same thought. Please work with your professional to see if there is a reason you are overeating. I used to eat my feelings on a regular basis. Sometimes you have to lose emotional "weight" before you see physical weight come off. I am mostly successful now, losing weight steadily. I can now allow myself one "No counting" day per week, but please don't do that if it will trigger a binge! I have been where you are; I know you can overcome!!!
