[QUOTE="mondFi, post: 1911149, member: 475607"] I think I'm right in saying that Doctors have to give you copies of all of your past results if you ask. I got 10 years of history when I asked. It sounds like you've had experience with being disciplined and losing weight in the past so I'm probably just reminding you of something that you already know and that is pretty soon most people get into a virtuous circle where they feel better about themselves as they start taking action and feeling that sense of self-empowerment. Changing a mind-set or a thought pattern is sometimes easier that you might imagine, for example cooking bacon and eggs actually takes less time than waiting for food delivery, all it is is standing up for a few minutes and hopefully you are able to do that? Changing the way that you think about the "chore" of cooking can really help - for example, I don't know about you but when I want alcohol I can always find the energy to go and get it...!!! Again sorry for teaching you how to suck eggs but it needs to be said just in case: whatever you do don't blame yourself for losing your will to be disciplined - it happens to us all when life really gets us down - but there is hope, and it doesn't take as much effort and pain as your mind is probably currently screaming at you! All the best. [/QUOTE]
