[QUOTE="ExD, post: 1398863, member: 275588"] You're being a little hard on yourself don't you think? Just relax and take a deep breath and you can then take things slowly, think of that awful advert and tell yourself 'you are worth it'. The mistake I always make is that I want instant results and am willing to commit to stringent diet programmes - for about 2 days - and then I despair. I agree with what you say about slimming world and calorie counting, and slimming world does not fit into a tight budget, so I think you should give low carbs another try. I must say I'm not keen on meat, especially beef, lamb and pork - and I also have a sweet tooth and need to finish every meal with something sweet - also as a pensioner I am on a tight budget too. My saviour was Dr David Cavan's book 'Reverse your Diabetes'. Its claim to reverse the diabetes is a bit optimistic in my opinion and I think he should have called it 'control' rather than 'reverse' - but its optimistic message is so encouraging and his recipe suggestions so easy to follow, it spurred me to have another go at low carbing. First I had to get rid of my fear of fat. You can get it second hand at amazon, or read it from your local library (I'm sure there are other similar books) and take a look online at Diet Doctor dot com which is am American site but still very useful. The very best of good luck to you for getting back on track. [/QUOTE]
