This is my story
I am married, own my own small business and have a beautiful little girl aged 8 (going on 18). What more could I ask for? You tell me! I have always been prone to depression and anxiety(childhood traumas and all that) and regretfully have got into a long-term habit since the age of about 21 of eating. I use food as a 'supposed' comfort and have got into such a situation now which I really don't know how to get out of. Food to me is a drug. Of course, I've been to all of the slimming clubs, have lost weight successfully but have gained it again two-fold. In my case, it's nothing to do with 'will-power' as I have packed up smoking without difficulty. I can also lose weight easily once I have the right mind set, but its keeping it off thats the problem. I believe the only way to keep weight off long-term in my particular case is to try to resolve why I eat in the first place. Now thats the million dollar question, if I knew the answer to that, I wouldnt be over-weight now would I?
I really admire Anne Diamond, I saw her on celebrity fit club (of course, I know her from the Anne & Nick days) and felt she handled the criticism in particular from that Pollard woman with dignity. I have just seen her on channel 5's Dr Dr hence the reason why I have now logged onto this web-site as I was not aware of it before now.
Anyway, my personal battle continues. Everyday is going to be THE day I stop punishing myself with fat, but it appears that despite all my best efforts the food still has control over me and until I can gain control over food I will continue to pile on the pounds and lead a miserable, un-healthy life.
So If there's anyone out there that can relate to my feelings, I'd love to hear from you so as we can offer ideas and suggestions as well as inspire each other. Thanks
