Having quit smoking, and knowing that throughout the lifetime of my smoking career I didn't consider myself addicted, I can happily say that sugar and flour are definitely addictions. They tick all the boxes. Your body does not require to eat them to survive, and the idea of giving them up brings a sense of anxiety. I am…

to be addicted to it it must be either energy drink, or sugar. I have a sugar addiction so understand completely. I had to switch to diet drinks, they're really cheap at my supermarket, about $1 per large bottle. The really dodgy budget ones don't do anything bad to me but the higher quality diet fanta etc give me…

sardines, sausages, fatty steaks, lamb chops (eat the fat), chicken thigh (eat the skin), cheese. OMG cheese. cheese slices, little vache qui rit cream cheese segments, double cream brie. sour cream, full fat sugar free yoghurt with blueberries... The insane thing is we've been told to avoid fat for so many years, but it's…

yes yes yes yes yes. Go watch sugar, the bitter truth. I've watched it maybe five times now; they take you through how your body makes cholesterol in your liver out of FRUCTOSE. Lol. You have 2 types of LDL, one is floaty and made of animal fat, and it just floats around your blood stream. it's fine. The one you make, as…

just remember 1 lb = 3500 calories. so no way did you eat 3500 of calories. But carbs, especially pizza, soak up a ton of water in your gut. In fact; you can get dehydrated if you eat pizza and don't drink water. so while it goes through your guts it weighs a lot. Just remember: water weight doesn't matter; it's fat you…

Lately I am attempting keto which in some ways is quite easy: I have developed a list of 'free' foods I can have without worrying about calories. eg a tin of sardines (zero carbs), frankfurter sausages (not the bread or the sauce), high fat luncheon sausage, cheese slices, diet drinks or water with lime in it. I watched a…

You'll be okay! I tell you what I'm doing, having been overweight for a long time. I have worked out a breakfast I can have every day, and a lunch every day. I have a yoghurt for morning tea every day. I have an orange for afternoon tea every day. So I keep all of my meals exactly the same all day; and the only change is…

Maybe the headaches are a coincidence; sleeping funny, that time of the month, watching too much telly, been on the internet more than usual? Often when you start a new thing, you spend a lot of time googling. That can be hard on your neck and cause tension headaches.

You seem very thin. I imagine you have lost all your muscles from shrinking yourself so skinny. What about eating more and lifting weights? Gaining the muscle back. That's what burns calories, and it'll let you eat more. But the reality is that a small vehicle (you included) takes less gas.

No. Your self control is fantastic. You caught yourself about to 'overexercise' to 'punish' your bad eating, and you stopped in time. In short, you did a fantastic job and I hope you tell your therapist. Stopping yourself before the bad ritual is very hard to do. It helps to remember that whatever is in the past is gone.…

45 residing in NZ, can't seem to lose, only seem to gain so here I am hoping to make the change. The machine says I have 89kg to lose to get to my pre-childbirth weight. I definitely need friends. Add me too! :)
