in Introduce Yourself
Been trying alone and it's very difficult. My RL friends do not understand and just say 'you're fine, you don't need to lose weight' etc. Need some people who actually understand!

    I totally hear you! It is hard when you're trying to do it on your own, even if the final responsibility rests on you. I understand completely!

    I know exactly what you mean, very hard to do it alone. People say you're doing fine, but they haven't seen me with my clothes off :P

    Wow, Thanks everyone, I didnt expect such a response to be honest! I'm trying to follow a sensible diet. I got a cross trainer for christmas and so farr having been doing 30 minutes every other day on it and trying to eat around 1200-1400 cals a day. I have two major problems though.
    (1) I give in WAAY too easily to craving for bad things, espiecally hen I've been good for a couple of days becuase i justify it to myself
    (2) When I'm out for food with friends I let myself be persuaded into ordering bad things

    Obviously, both these things are self-control issues, can anyone offer any advice for me? :)

    My best advice / insight into weight loss is that it is a process, and just as much (if not more so) an emotional and psychological process as it is a physical one. I clearly remember when mine started. I was on my way to a fast food joint for junk and then I just said "NO", turned my car around, went to the store and bought a case of diet soda. The rest of the story - is in progress and has been an amazing challenge along the way.
