    Hi all

    I came across Andrews video on google today and have just downloaded the book. I am a 30 year old woman from the UK who has always had a weight problem. 5 years ago I joined Weight Watchers weighing 322lbs. I got to my goal weight of 175lbs 18 months ago. I gained about 10lbs and my weight was steady for a while. Then at the start of this year I started suffering with panic attacks and felt very low. I began overeating and bingeing. My GP diagnosed me with depression and put me on medication. I now weigh about 225lbs and hate being this way. I just can't stop eating. I re-joined WW a few weeks ago and still weigh the same now as I did when I re-joined. I can be good all the time I am at work, then as soon as I am off I go mad. I go to the shops and buy loads of food which I then just sit and eat untill I feel like I am going to burst. Then I feel terrible for doing it. This week I had been so good, stuck to my points and excercised. My weigh in day is Monday, but I hopped on the scales this morning to see that I lost 3lbs. Great. So why did I then go to the shops and buy loads of crap which I have just eaten? I think part of it is because I am on my own today. My husband is at work and my friends are all with their families. Here's what my binge consisted of today:
    250g bag of peanut M&M's
    6 mince pies (sweet ones)
    150g bag og kettle chips
    A family size cheese loaf
    I just hate it. I so badly want to be slim. I hate my body, yet I keep filling it with rubbish. I can't wait to start reading Andrews book and I really hope I can move on. I just struggle with the concept of eating what I like, but within reason. I feel like I have been brain washed! Food is on my mind 24/7. Thats just not normal is it?

    I'm so sorry to go on for so long. I guess I needed to just write all this down to move on. Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to my 'new' life!

    Hi, Angellore. Welcome in the team. Don't worry. We all keep falling sometimes. I also had good periods, when I felt that strenght and thinking I can move the mountains. But good motivation isn't enough, especially if you do it not just for yourself and your health:). Recently I work on my self-esteem and self-accetance, no matter what, numbers aren't so important anymore. I found some self-developing hobby to fill my spare time. And I'm gradually back to my exercises. By the way, it is really good way for stress relief, nothing more - I don't want to look at it as way to slim down, cause then I push myself for more putting that stressful pressure on me. Ah, every step forward you do, remember to give yourself time to accept what's NOW, and congratulate yourself for even that smallest success, before you decide to move to next one. Just don't be greedy . One step at the time. Good luck .

    Hi all

    Well, yesterday was day one and I didn't binge! I figure if I take this one day at a time I can do it! I had porridge for breakfast, spaghetti bolognaise for lunch in the food court in the mall. It was really good. I was hungry in the afternoon so I had some skinless BBQ mini chicken breasts. I chose them because I remembered what Andrew said about Proteins. You know what? It was right! They really kept me feeling full until dinner Then I had a delicious lamb casserole for dinner, with roast potatoes, brocolli and cauliflower. I allowed myself a cream cake for desert, and you know what? I enjoyed every mouthful of it. I didn't feel the slightest bit guilty because I knew I was eating it as part of normal eating. Before, that would have set me off on a binge eating feast. But, it was enough. I can do this
