Probably comfort eating for years too, due to some abuse as a child and other bullying problems, but if I can get out of this nightmare, I also used to be pleased with my S** life, but now single partly due to my problems, ive lost interest in almost everything.
I packed in work, hoping to sort myself out, but cant see it working after these first few days.
The amount of help I need seems so big no one could ever help enough to fix me,
2christine said:its a new day, how about to start right with a good breky eggs and bacon plus some tomatoes nothing else but loads of black coffee and tea to drink.
you make your bed then lay in it, mum used to say, start there get some clean sheets and pillow cases and make your bed, steady that's enough exercise for the day.( its all in the mind a clean sheet)
2christine said:I think you are poorly and need some TLC, be kind to your self, caraway is right try the Newcastle diet, if you can afford the Cambridge shakes, if not try and look up vlc diets on the eBay for example sometimes you can pick up some at a fraction of the normal price, they may be past the use by date but they get you started, this is what I did.
also I found ibrufen gel is a god send to my feet, it really stops the pain hope this is a help to you.
I will look later, what I used to try and do was take away all bad foods from the house, but when you share with someone its a bit awkward, when i was last living alone, I just surrounded myself with things to snack on such as tomatoes, beetroot, some nuts, boiled eggs, so they were right next to me if i got peckish, then after a few weeks, habits were starting to change, then I went to stay at the ex girlfriends, or she wanted taking out for meals, etc etc, i suggested my eating problems were similay to an alcoholic but she laughed it off, so I havent got the will power to ignore these things, and now sharing my house with my son and his girlfriend, anyway off to visit my parents who will no doubt try and feed me, and my dad will say you are what you are and no changing it !carraway said:If you are tempted by a low cal diet then look at this

This is the link to the reasearch
Slim and Save is lower carb and cheaper than CAmbridge, They have a website but they are also on Ebay more cheaply.
But if you are not in the right state of mind to do it I think you will find it hard. I wanted to lose weight and feel better and I cannot state enough what a great improvemnt this made to me
I'm hoping the improvement I feel will continue as I lose more weight

I will do a list, which is what I used to do,then told to lose weight and get fitter, but I will do again, I tend to not emphasise enough the severity of my problems as if i am not supposed to ask for help etc.Q007 said:I wish you well indeed, I'd be happy to talk it out and listen if you wanted to PM me, but I feel strongly about you sitting face to face with someone, especially as your self esteem and self worth are so very low. Give it a try, write your health concerns out point by point, make an appointment then fax over your letter just before you go in (few days).
Take care then,

I am going to try one of the diets till after Christmas, like the 5/2 diet for now, or one of the fast 1 day eat normal 1 day etc, then maybe extend the fasting or low calorie days.
Will see how I go, but sat here looking at this screen, and really no energy I really think ive had enough of work, and just want to shut off
