Wanted: fellow human who shares desire to gain control

Hey

I am 36, 16 stone and cheesed off with my lack off will power and constant failings as regards my weight. I would love to get into a size 12 pair of faded levis and a little white vest. Instead I buy functional garments that hide my belly and bum and daily feel the need to 'treat' myself with eating what I think i deserve only to feel like crap if I do.

Boy - round and round I go.

I have written down 5 mini goals to reach 10st

1 - Summer Holiday to Spain - July
2 - My Sister's Wedding - Sept
3 - My Anniversary - Nov
4 - Christmas
5 - My 37th Birthday - March '08

I want a little black dress for Xmas!!!

Hello im here

hiya,

Im 36, been dieting since I was 14 year old.

always use work as an excuse for no exercise and love food....i eat food when happy/sad/upset/congratulating etc.

Here i am

I'll be your buddy. My cycle differs a bit from yours. I start my day great with walking or pilates, eat a bowl of cheerios with soy milk (net 145 calories), and drink two cups of tea. By noon, I spoil it all with downing kit kat bars (40% of sat. fat each!) and 3 musketeers. Then at night I stay up late hating what I've done, chug a liter of water to "flush" my system, and start over the next day.

My goals are too:
1) Wear a skirt the first day of the new semester.
2) By Nov. 23 (my b-day) be able to do yoga without aching from the stretchign
3) New Years I want to be absolutly fabulous.

I'll stand by with you. You'll get that size 12!
