[QUOTE="zand, post: 689024, member: 85197"] Brilliant. That's the akindrat I have come to know and like over the past few months! Well done. So you are having counselling which will help you. You already know why you put on weight and you accept that. Brilliant. Now you can move forward and do something about it. I am saddened by your story but not at all surprised by it. No need to keep punishing yourself (it isn't really comfort eating because it is harming you). Those bullies punished you and you didn't deserve it, I would think of them every time you are tempted to eat the wrong thing. I have the names of people who have upset me on my fridge and food cupboards to remind me that I will overcome the harm they have done to me. This might not work for you, but it keeps me determined. I also have a picture of something that reminds me of one of them on my wallet so I am not tempted to buy the wrong things when I am out. Don't let them win, they are still hurting you and that is wrong. You need to love and accept yourself and become your real self in your new slimmer body. You [B]can[/B] do this. This is so exciting. OK the carbs. Don't focus on what you can't have. Focus on the foods you like and love which are not carbs. I know for a student this can be expensive, but in the summer you were saying you had some money you could put to good use by buying healthy food? I find it's the carbs that make you feel hungry, it's so much easier when you manage to gradually cut down on them. I do understand how difficult this is. I too had a reason to 'hang on' to my weight and hide behind it I have been trying to lose weight since April and have only managed to lose 2 stones 6 pounds so far, but boy do I feel better for it! Don't focus on the whole amount you have to lose, you will start to feel and look better way before you get to your ultimate target. A good friend has told me many times that I look for 'reasons to fail' - I think you do too. Those reasons? They are all fake! You can overcome them all, honestly, just put one foot in front of the other and you will be making progress before you know it. Like I said this is exciting. I'm there with you again (if you want me!). I really want you to succeed. Please do. :) [/QUOTE]
