Flawed thinking that keeps sabotaging me
I was out in the morning, was thinking "I've been advised to eat 30g protein each meal.

I've got a sweet tooth and I like to eat out around twice a week. Can I still lose weight if I've had a mcdonalds burger (plain) no fries and chocolate? Is it just about coriental intake? ?

My first day of admitting I have a problem
I am a 47 year old lady, living in London, working too hard, over-eating then over-eating again, a pattern so hard that it has become a habit.

Shall I go…
