Totally lost motivation and hope

You are all amazing I never expected this sort of response. I think I'm going to do the photo of how I am now because I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror so might be good to force myself to see it in a photo. The dieting part is hard because of trauma as a kid I can't eat fruit or veg (sounds funny but a certain someone *cough* dad *cough* tried to force it down my throat literally) I can eat potato(worst thing for you), avocado and bananas but anything else has me vomitting. With my food the best I can do is cut out bread and rice but then it doesn't leave me many options. Thank you very much for all the advice I will take it all in my stride and get off my *kitten* and get back into it! And thank you for the friend requests too

If you don't like raw fruits and veggies, you could always try V8 splash or smoothies (or both mixed). I'll be the first to admit that V8 is nowhere near what real vegetables and fruits is, but it's better than nothing! There are some fruits I don't really care for the texture of and can't really eat them, but blended into a smoothie they're delicious! Potatoes are honestly good for you, so long as you eat them in moderation and the right kind. Potato chips are no bueno! But Baked Potatoes are very good for you, and even better the less you put on them!

The biggest key to my diet and the one thing I will preach until the day I die is sugar intake! You can get a ton of natural sugar from fruits and fruits alone and STILL go over your daily recommendation. Your body processes Alcohol, processed breads (including most wheat breads) and sugar all the same. Alcohol and breads become Glucose and Sucrose in the body, which the body digests and stores in the same manner as sugars. When your body has a high content of man-made sugars, they turn into lipids in the blood stream. When they get to storage at the fat cells, they form a lipid wall around the fat cells. The lipid wall is nearly impossible for your blood to break through and access the fat for energy. You may be skeptical about the wheat bread statement, but most wheat breads are simply white bread with food coloring to make them look darker, which actually makes them even less healthy than white bread...

I really hope this helps!

Thanks mate, I have tried V8 before and you are right it's better than nothing. I will only bake potato's from now on and put nothing on top! Yeah my sugar intake would be horrific which could explain why I feel like utter crap most of the time. Cheers for the info and tips, if I eat bread I usually go for the wholemeal with all the seeds through it....hopefully not too bad for you Thanks again!
