Hi all, well its new year and I really need to do something. I feel like I'm living in someone elses body, I had lost 3 stone just over a year ago, but after the breakdown of a relationship it gradually crept back on. I have to lose about 5 to 6 stone in total and I| just have no idea how I can make it. Shells x

Hi Shells, you have done it once you can do it again. I am convinced that lots of overweight people are emotional eaters, it is not simply a question of will power. I finally got my head around my emotional eating and lost weight after hating myself for the last 20 years. What a waste, I am so much happier now. Interesting though, that I still have another 3 stone to loose and am trying to get back on track.

We can do it together -- break it down into small goals, maybe 7lbs a time, rather than focus on the big number, it seems more achievable then.

Good luck
