I mean I sneaked a peek 
I got weighed this morning, and the blasted number hasn't budged!
Admittedly I haven't been giving it 100%
I have serious issues with binge eating though, so the fact that my weight hasn't gone up does demonstrate that I've put in a lot of effort so far this week and I just need to push it a little bit further 
The long and short of it is this: no more bread

Bread is full of carbohydrates, which is not great if you are trying to lose weight. If you can cut down on bread and other foods heavy with carbs, and eat more protein instead, it will make a big difference! Good luck to you on your continued journey of weight loss. We're all rooting for you!

@moffittjc I really need to find a way to get some regular exercise that's more strenuous than walking - although I do naturally walk very fast, and can lose a surprising amount of weight that way if I'm careful enough about what I eat

@LilyBeBack I love running, it's very therapeutic! But I'm relegated to walking right now as I rehab a knee injury. I can't wait to be fully healed so I can start running again!

Thank you
Today will be a serious test, Leonard's going to be out all afternoon and when I'm alone it feels impossible not to eat loads of food. I'm seriously considering just sleeping all afternoon

"Yes. I. Can!" lol, my mam says it to me ever since we watched that when I was little

Its very tough, but once you get going on losing even a pound, it motivates you Lily.

About six weeks ago I'd almost lost a stone, I was 12 stone 11, but then I had a bad day that turned into a bad week and here I am back at 13 and a half stone

You can do this! You will feel so much better as you cut out the bad stuff and start exercising more. Good luck!

Thank you! I'm really struggling with it today, it's only 9 am so I'm alright for now but Leonard will be out for the afternoon today and whenever I'm alone that's a real trigger for binge eating. Right now as hard as I try, I can't stop thinking about all the food I'd could eat later 
I haven't got anything unhealthy in the house but that's not usually an obstacle

@mikaelajuliet weirdly that's exactly what I've been thinking today, I want to get into meditation properly anyway so this would be a good place to start

It is easy to lose weight, the hardest one is to gain it.

I know some people have difficulty gaining weight, as we're all different, but I'd say for most people it's far more difficult to lose weight than it is to put it on. I put weight on when I eat too much and don't exercise enough, and those things are easy compared to exercising more and controlling food intake

Weight loss is a battle for the strong, that is a definite. I have been trying for a couple years and haven't really lost or gained anything. I have other medical conditions that contribute to that though.
Keep up the good work! Remember though, it's not about what you eat, it's the self control of NOT eating it all.
