So I just gotta live with them?! That kinda sucks, guess I will be wearing trousers forever!

Bump

I've asked him if he's worried about me changing and leaving him but he says it isn't that. I dont get it because I lost weight when we first met and was slimmer than I am now and he didn't mind? I guess that time I didn't go on an obvious diet though so he wasn't aware I was actively trying to lose. I have tried to ignore…

My biggest mistake in the past was starting over every Monday. It meant a full week of over eating bad foods so instead if I slip up I start fresh the very next day. That way I am not so hard on myself and I haven't spent a week bingeing on rubbish, the effect on the scale is less damaging than just throwing it all away…

I struggle on Sundays. Typically this is the day I have always over eaten my whole life so it's a hard habit to break. Even though I go over my 1200 I never go over 2000 and I've been lucky so far that when I've weighed the next day I haven't actually gained. I think if I ate like 5000 cals I would see a difference but a…

I can totally relate to the pretty thing. I got the 'you have such a pretty face' all the time, translation 'you would be so much better if you weren't such a tubby b**ch! ;) To me it's the worst thing you can say to a fat chick.

To me, cals are cals, no matter where you get them from so whether it be liquid or solid, it still counts. Personally, I would rather chew food and feel more satisfied than drink something and then feel hungrier and eat more. I find when I have tried to have a shake or smoothy type thing for breakfast I am hungry and eat…

Started getting chubby by puberty and just kept getting heavier, was totally depressed throughout my teens because of it but met my fiancé by 20. I managed to lose like 50 odd lbs the first 18 months we were together and was SO happy, still had self confidence issues but definately happier with myself and what i saw in the…

I do try to brush my teeth to stop me eating after meals in general lol

I have thought about trying a juice/water fast to try and detox my body. It's hard though when you have eaten a certain way your whole life. There have been plenty of times when I have literally just lived on cereal or bread and eaten not much else other than chocolate of course. Being healthy can suck ;)

I would rather weigh more and be tight than skinny and flabby. That's what I'm mad at right now, when I was younger I was tubby but it was solid, I didn't jiggle when I walked, now I got cellulite and wobbly bits all over so my plan is to drop the weight but tone up as I go too. I don't like looking ripped as a female…

I think it depends on body type and how tight/baggy the clothes you were wearing before are. I never get properly measured and I know depending on where I shop I can fit in a few different sizes. I still haven't gone down a dress size it's more that my clothes fit better, they are not as tight and I don't have…

I am a carb addict too :) I find it really hard to drop them, I live for my bread,cereal and potatoes, always have. I have heard a lot about low carb but I know I would really struggle with it especially if I'm not eating my sugar too...I guess I just have to tackle one thing at a time because if I feel I'm too deprived I…

I am the same way, I can keep myself and mind occupied during the day but find in the evening my tendency to over eat kicks in so I try to limit what I eat in the day and save my calories for the evening when I know I will pick more, I still eat breakfast and lunch but keep it small and simple so i don't go over my overall…

Because I can't just eat a bit of it! I end up wanting more after one bar and will go out and buy it once I have the taste for it, I'm like an alcoholic I can't just stop at one!

I used to be terrible for this. I have to consciously stop myself doing it now and throw things straight away. It is hard though.

Get your fiancée to stop buying stuff she knows you will eat! My partner used to be terrible for buying junk that I told him not to get because I knew if it was in the cupboard or fridge I would eat it, simple as, I could not walk past chocolate. You are not saying she can't eat it just not around you if you don't think…

I was wondering about this. I cannot resist the urge to weigh myself every morning first thing before I have eaten or drunk anything to get a 'true' idea of where I'm at. The only thing I worry about is getting a bit obsessive about it, I have already noticed these past few days that I am getting on them twice sometimes…

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's not my form but it's the same for lunges, my knees just won't hold out. Even when I was lighter I could never do things that required repetitive bending of the knees.

Thanks everyone. I would say I've always been thicker built being bi-racial - my caribbean half has given me a booty, hips and thighs I don't think will ever disappear completely even if I wanted them too. I have accepted that I will never be stick thin I just want to be happier with what I see in the mirror but I don't…

Im from the uk too :)
