Weight loss thread 2016

I would have had dinner anyway but this way I can have it and feel a little less guilty.
I don't like walking and the local park isn't great, but some of the other places to walk around here are awesome. I have a calorie counting spreadsheet and I like to see the number below 2000 a day. If that means I have to have a walk, then so be it. Because I am so overweight, every 10 minutes burns about 100 calories. It makes me feel good, not the physical exertion, but knowing I have burnt some calories off.

I don't believe in feeling guilty about eating. First, we have to eat to stay alive, second guilt just means we're more likely to eat more and the wrong things.....

This is true, however it has also been said by a previous psychiatrist that I have an eating disorder.
I love food, but I pretty much hate myself for eating.

I wanted chocolate today but bought grapes instead. It's small but it made me feel better about snacking today.

That's a great choice! We're doing that with the kids too!

I like walking but unfortunately my knees and ankles don't and I get totally knackered and if that's not enough I need to take a bathroom break quite often (high sugar and my meds increase urine production considerably, yup I can pee for England) so unless I pass somewhere with bathroom facilities I'm a bit stuck.

I always like looking in other peoples gardens seeing what plants, trees or shrubs they are growing, walking on a clear summers day is the best. Rose I wish there were awesome places to walk round here.

I agree with Paula here.

My weight hasn't changed this week but, I'm an emotional eater and I've been in so much pain that healthy eating went out of the window. Ah well

Rose, when were told you had an eating disorder? And has it ever been confirmed by another pdoc?

[rose]

Back in July last year I was told this. Not really discussed it with my new pdoc. I know I am up this week because I just had a quick look.on the scales. The weather is foul so I doubt I'll go out today.

[Paula]

Maybe it's something you should bring up?

[Suzi]

I think it's definitely something to bring up with your psych lovely...
