From a very early age I have had a relationship with food that has very little to do with hunger and nutrition. I was unable to cope with emotions, and used food as my major coping mechanism.
For many years I stumbled through life from catastrope to crisis, my weigh rising rapidly during the bad times, falling slowly during the good. After a very bad year I an now at my heaviest weight, I don't know exactly what I weigh but I wear size 30 (UK sizes) clothes and am clinically obese. I am now ready once again to make a concerted effort to shed weight.
I do not talk about losing weight as the subconscious mind is sensitive to the language we use and will work to try and bring about the results it believes we desire. Losing weight implies that weight is precious, something that when lost should be searched for and found again. I therefore shed or reduce weight, keeping the subconscious mind onside.
These weight pages will share with you hints and tips I have picked up over the years about weight reduction, many from the internet. Some suggestions for getting started and the food diary that I keep sporadically.
