why \m I such a disasterous dieter!

[kazzianne]

Im an soooo fed up this morning.I have been on a diet for about a month & a half now,and as usual I stuck to it perfectly for the first 2 weeks - and lost 7lb.Then I got bored with not being able to eat exactly what I like,when I like and I start picking.Then I feel guilty the next day,and so this cycle goes on and on.Over the last 4 weeks with going away on business,Easter,having family to stay etc I have managed to maintain my weight but that still means in the last month I havent lost any more ,when I should have really.I bought a bike and rode 4 miles on fri and 5 miles yesterday,but then last night when my boyfriend had to go away with work I was so miserable on my own that I practically ate everything in sight! Have just got on the scales and they make me 2 lb heavier and now I am meant to go and get weighed at my slimming club tomorrow! And this holiday which I wats to lose the weight for in the first place is getting closer and closer.I feel such a failure.Help!!

Hi Kaz,

I don't know whther this will help at all but I have been unhappy for a while with my figure - I'm not fat but have blobby bits in wrong places!! I decided that I would start eating salad for lunch most days at work rather than the baguettes I was having everyday and also to drink lots and lots of water. I would say I have been doing this for about 5 weeks now and rather than being a 12-14 I am now a 12. And I have even got into a pair of jeans I bought years ago that I have never got into (cause I put on weight as soon as I bought them).

My advice would be to have an aim. If you have an item of clothing that you would love to get into but can't then use it as your aim. That's what I done with my jeans and I am sitting in them now!!!

Good luck but I do bet you are gorgeous anyway.
