Hello all

What a great website this is. I have the app for my phone too so I can add foods on the move.

I am a typical yoyo dieter and have been for years. I can be really good for a few months and drop to a size 12 or even 10 but then once I eat something I shouldn't I get a taste for it and seem to go in the opposite direction and pile all the pounds back on and more.

I love all food, chocolate, savoury foods, bread, all things sweet and cream, butter etc. I am quite impatient too so I try and lose the weight as soon as I can by going super healthy but I wish I could keep this up or at least find a way to eat the things I like in moderation so I don't pile all the weight back on. There is no such thing as one or two biscuits or a chocolate with me, its usually the whole pack and a whole box!

Looking forward to getting to know many of you and sharing tips, ideas for tasty low calorie foods and snacks welcomed!

Wendy

    Welcome! I'm the same way; I have so much trouble with portion control for "bad" foods. If there is a bag of chips in the house, I can't stop thinking about them until I've eaten the whole bag. I will wake up at 4 in the morning and eat them. The support on this site is great, and has helped me control my demons.

    That's exactly what I am like!! If there are chocolates in the cupboard they will talk to me until I get them out and eat them! LOL!
