I love that you wrote this post. Good on you for seeking support! That sounds hard too. 1. Are you measuring yourself with a measuring tape? If so, has there been a difference in your size? You might be building muscle, which is heavier yet slimmer-looking than fat. Don't necessarily rely on the scales to tell you if…

Sounds like my man! I think an awesome gift would be something to help with his cars. Men LOVE their cars! If he has all his tools, why not do something like a gift voucher for a car shop? (Here, I can think of Super Cheap Auto, Total Tools or Mitre10). That way, even if he doesn't use it right this minute, he'll…

Just let it take time, the mind doesn't always recognize the body as it probably should. It took me nearly three years to recognize that my body was heavier than it should be, and it will probably take the same amount of time for the reverse. Just be patient with it, it's not a very motivating or ground-breaking feeling…

Pangea, that is just so beautiful. I'm so sorry for your loss, it's such a devastating time. What you wrote really touched my heart, it is so heartfelt and genuine. It is raw and vulnerable and it's just beautiful. Remember his soul once occupied that strong, can-do-anything body, but it's gone somewhere much, much greater…

That's such a difficult situation! I think just try and relate to her. You were ten once too. And (whilst I hope not), you may have experienced the same negativity she is too. Remember she is young and she is going to go through this no matter what, young children and teenagers can quite often be cruel. The most important…

Kinda hurts when you post something so intimate and get no replies huh! Don't worry though, you're not invisible, we just don't always see posts! I often struggle with that, and I don't think it's hormonal I think it's mostly just emotional. I had a really bloody awful job which was physically exhausting and emotionally…

I found the easiest way around that is to simply remove it from the house until I know I can restrain myself. Today, I bought candy canes for the Christmas Tree. Well that didn't go to plan. I ate three (as you can see in my diary). I thought I could restrain myself, I was wrong so got my man to throw them in the bin for…

Putting yourself down and constantly having a judge in your mirror isn't going to help you, that's for sure... It's so hard but I found the best thing to do was to just start by being nice to myself. Sounds simple but in reality, when you had expectations of yourself that you haven't met, it's really quite a challenge.…

Sounds yum! I'd love a copy :D

Congratulations on your engagement! I'm getting married in eight weeks and am getting totally pumped! I didn't really think of losing weight for the wedding until my future husband told me we'd both feel better for it! I've only lost 8kg so far but on a limited time frame! Just keep at it, whatever you do - don't stop!…

Yep! Wanting to lose 25-30kg! taramaraa

I'm in - 60 mins down today - 23 to go! Only just found the post today, so will start today :D

Hey Micqs, I don't personally have Grave's Disease but I've looked after my mother-in-law for two years, since just after she was diagnosed. Her personal journey has included: - massive weight loss. She's been a small-ish size her whole life, but went down to a tiny 38kg at 158cm tall. She was hospitalized for her weight.…

My self confidence! I seem to really doubt that I'll actually ever lose weight! Such a barrier... On to the battle, I say!
