Well done to everyone for doing so well - and thank you again, mjm, for making this such a success.
If I look back at my life, I realise that I have spent an awful lot of it quite out of control when it comes to food and was eating for all sorts of reasons other than hunger. I've always enjoyed food - and I do enjoy good food, it's just that I end up eating too much of it! I enjoy sitting down to a lovely meal - right from enjoying how it looks to eating it. The problem was, I used to find all sorts of reasons why I should be eating during the day when I wasn't really hungry - for example, if I felt a bit down, if the day wasn't going too well - even if it was going well, why not 'celebrate' with a piece of cake!!
I've never been particularly slim - always on the round side, but never very overweight - until now. I've been on plenty of diets, lost some weight, then put it back on - but really never becoming very overweight. but now I am.
When I had my daughter (25 years ago), I put on a lot of weight after she was born - nothing to do really with having had a baby, but more because I was alone at home and completely miserable in my marriage at the time. So, I turned to food for comfort and carried on doing that for a long time. I did eventually manage to lose weight (again!) and up until about three years ago was a reasonable and comfortable weight for my height.
Over the past three years or so, I have gradually put weight on and now weigh more than I have ever weighed. I can't quite believe how it has piled on - although, if I think about it, of course I know - I just haven't thought about what I've been eating.
So - even though I haven't lost very much weight at all, I do feel I have made a lot of progress in that I am now in much better control of my eating habits, and that has already made me feel much better. For the next 'phase' of the Flabuless Forumers, I really do want to use this to increase my weight loss - even if it's just 1-2lbs every two weeks.
