I had type 2 diabetes from the age of 16 and at the beginning of this year I reversed it and came off the diabetic register after being on injections and tablets. I have a major issue with food, I think about if from the moment I wake up, thinking about how many pro points are in things, wondering what to eat. If I fall off the wagon which I do regularly I punish myself, I get upset, moody, I feel like the worst person in the world and I convince myself I've put on a stone or more, even when I eat that little bit more by using my weekly points, I feel fat and disgusting. I am aware tthat it's in my head, but I understand how people become bulimic, I look in the mirror and still see the 20st girl I was before, I still look huge. I think once you have that kind of thought and negativity about yourself, I don't think it ever goes away. It's nice to know I'm not alone though.

It is so good to read your blog and realise that other people feel the same, I know it's time to change, I.have been a weight watcher on and off for many years, and have lost weight but always gained it back, but this time I realise I must work on my head also in order to fix my body. Your video has inspired.me.so much, and also moved me to tears, as I see me.in that video, and it gives me hope that one day I will have that 'after' pic that I can be so proud of, thank you xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00083408960813647365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022844587495726022.post-60714389017987321572014-04-01T12:46:58.612+01:002014-04-01T12:46:58.612+01:00This is me in a nutshell!

It is a very lonely place in that circle sometimes and I think I have convinced myself that I will never reach goal or be able to say no to food.<br />I would love to know what tips you have for controlling those stressful days as I seem to be going around in cirlces close to a year now :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022844587495726022.post-1312237863809510432014-03-25T23:35:53.334+00:002014-03-25T23:35:53.334+00:00We have been reading your blog for a while and thi...We have been reading your blog for a while and this is our first comment here.<br /><br />We have been 'forced' to now live a healthy way of life because of various illnesses, but completely agree and empathise with your views and accounts here.

Moderation was and is still extremely difficult for me. Like you, I have learnt that sometimes I am better off having the bar that I really crave and just counting it, rather than trying to substitute it with lower propointed bars and then eating myself all around the house.

I don't remember being so obsessed with food before WeightWatchers, but I think that was because I was not eating anything in moderation and therefore, everything was at hand and consumed. I was a thoughtless eater so when I started to become conscious of the food I was eating, I did feel that I was thinking about it all of the time. For me, I think this was more of an awakening to what my eating habits were like before and because moderation was so difficult for me, it became a little consuming and some of that is because I wouldn't and refused to trust myself. When I did start to trust myself I did really loosen up about counting the food.

I joined ww last year and have lost two and a half stone, then I began to really struggle with the last stone I had to lose. When my weight plateued I seemed to become more and more obsessed with food and feel like I've lost complete control. Well done for being so strong, hopefully I'll get there too. Thanks for sharing.
