Advice please

I'm very overweight and I know it and I hate it but I have absolutely no motivation to do anything about it. I know I'm capable of doing it as I have before - I lost 2.5 stone on weight watchers last year but have put it all and more back on. I think I've been overweight for so long I can't imagine not being.

What I need is advice on how to motivate myself and also whether people think seeing a shrink might help. My reason for this is that I know a lot of it stems from childhood, i was forced on to the "school diet" when I was 14, my parents were always telling me I shouldn't eat so much etc etc. I was always the chubby one. I used to hide chocolate under my bed and I still hideaway what I eat even at the age of 30. I still get nagged by my parents about it (I know its only because they are worried about me but it doesn't help!!).

Does any one have any advice or any experience of feeling like this and getting over it?

Dieting alone is a waste of time, it needs to be combined with excercise. Compile a strict regime of excercise and healthy eating. Join a gym, take up some competitive sport, badminton, tennis etc and cut out all the rubbish from your diet. Chocolate, fizzy drinks, sugar and dairy stuff. If you are peckish, snack on fruit and raw veg. Your weight will fall off. Just eating less and sitting around waiting for the scales to say what you want them to say aint working.
