Righty-ho peeps, I could do with your support please. I've been going through a rough patch for a few months, weight has crept up by a stone (14lbs) if not a bit more, and I want it gone
I lost a lot of weight, nearly 6 stones and although I'm probably classed as overweight, I'm in size 14/16 clothes (dependent on the shop!) so not too bad. As I've mentioned before, I'm a binge eater, emotional stuff that goes back to childhood, so it's not really an issue of hunger for me, more emotional eating. My bg numbers are fine, all in normal limits when I check and this is probably down to the weight loss. But I know if I keep going like this, I'm playing with fier, and sooner or later, they'll creep up again.
I know that lower carb gets the weight off me, and I know I need to stick to it wholeheartedly, and not prat around like I have been doing. I'm fortunate in that I can tolerate carbs without an increase in bg's now, but weight increase is a big no-no for me so I'm going to tackle it by cutting out all pasta, rice and spuds - don't eat bread so not a problem.
I'm giving myself a month to get this weight down, I want at least half a stone, hopefully more, off. can I ask for a bit of moral support please? Got so much else going on in my life, I know it's not an excuse but the emotions are playing havoc - so asking for a bit of help.
So, I start tomorrow. I appreciate any replies, thanks.
