This is my story
About 8 years ago, divorce, menopause, loss of job and death of mother - all within a few months sent me to bed with Cadbury's Dairy Milk entire factory and TV for 3 months- death by chocolate seemed preferable to death by any other means although any other means were also appealing. I 'comfort ate' for England and ended up weighing 15stones last year. I had tried EVERY fad diet going, losing two stones here and there and putting it back on again. Last year I joined the Lighter Life programme - shakes only, and lost a stone a month, I was really motivated and felt GREAT. After 4 months and over 4 stones I got an infection under my toenail, ended up in hospital for 5 days and nearly lost my toe. Hospital refused to supply my shakes and suddenly REAL food (even hospital food) tasted SOOOOOOOOOOOO good. End of Lighter Life and, within 3 months 4 stones was back on PLUS another for luck!! I used to be a happy, slim, confident mother of 2 lovely girls (now 32 & 30) wife of the most wonderful man in the world (now a two timing rat) and I now feel a fat blob, aged 62, virtually invisible. I seem to have lost myself, my identity, confidence and, if I am truthful hope that things will ever change. I have joined Slimming World but I am beginning to wonder if I am a lost cause.
