Could do with some help guys. Gone off diet again, went for a few drinks which ends up with a meal and a pudding, which I know I don't need. I've suffered a lot with depression for as long as I can remember and with being the size I am, it doesn't help. I was genuinely happy when I'd lost a significant amount, but I know I'm turning to old habits again. Eating out when I know I don't need it, takeaway when again I don't need it. I'm trying to get on top of it, but it's so hard. I don't want to put the weight back on, and I really worry that if I do, my mental health will take one hell of battering. Has anyone got any tips on how to stay away from temptation? I was meant to be getting some support from my gp but due to covid, it's been rearranged so many times now I don't think I'll ever get it. My partner and family have all been encouraging, but their voices aren't always louder than the one in my head telling me to eat crap food. Any ideas would be so greatfully appreciated x

hi brokenwings14, depression is awful because my stepfather abused me for many years I ended up with a street sleeper, drug-taking drinker many years ago. sadly lost my children to social service and ended up losing everything plus myself dignity. I was in and out of mental homes for years. much more bad happens to me. but now I have a fantastic husband and a little cleaning job. sadly still don't see my grown-up children but I am working on that. I weighed 12.7 stone many years of shit now I am now 8.stone 7lbs. and would like to be 8.2 stone. so working on that. I find when you are finding things difficult turn to a Robbie swim, cycle gym, knitting reading anything but cooking. do this long enough and you are so engrossed in what you are enjoying you forget those bad times and the food. so good luck I am right behind you. best wishes merrymel.

I'm sorry to hear that merrymel. It truly is awful, and if you're lucky enough to have never had depression it's hard to imagine the lows you can sink to. I used to be a reader but haven't for a long time so I might take that up again as a distraction, thank you x

I recently realised that i was “nuture eating” and not just “comfort eating” ...... so now i try to use food as a postive nuture instead of a negative nuture (i.e my body will be strong from fruit/veg etc and i know it will be weak from fast food). Sounds corny i know but understanding my relationship with food helped. I suggest writing a diary whenever you feel the need to reach for the bad stuff....is it because you’re stressed? If so, how can you find a positive way to handle the stress feelings....(walk/sing/read/hot bath etc) make a plan of action perhaps? Just some suggestions but you will have lots of support on here...good luck x

Hi there, firstly I'm no expert but I lost a bit of weight just moderating. Try not to buy crisps, comfort food etc . Not too many carbs like potatoes,pasta. Also don't deny yourself, have a bit of cheese or a glass of wine occasionally. What I'm trying to say is moderation, you will be fine 😊

It’s nothing that’s going to help but it’s will power over temptation
Got to admit I have a severe temptation for ice cream and I have a food delivery tomorrow
For the last 2 days the temptation has been uncontrollable but I’m glad to say it is now too late to add it but I feel for you I have basically been strong through the whole process
But it isn’t easy just try to keep strong

Thanks for all your comments guys. Since I started, I've majorly restricted myself, while still allowing for the odd treat, but the treat is turning into a cheat weekend so for now I'm stopping it until I get back on track. I haven't been particularly stressed lately, no more than usual what with life these days etc. My fear is undoing all the hard work, but I'll take note of what you guys have said and try get my arse back on track. I don't buy snacks/chocolate /crisps as they were my main weakness so I just took them out the way and don't buy them, only healthy stuff. It's partly laziness, after a 24hr shift at work I don't want to be cooking, and sitting on a sofa and ordering is easy. But that'll stop, time to go back to my cooking and freezing stuff so there's always a healthier option. Thanks guys, you've all been so nice xx

Hello have you heard about calories counting? or flex diet? you can literally eat evething you want, go and have a meal out or simply take away and still lose or mantain height? without any suplements or starving! I started this method 4 months ago and I have already lost 7kg. And I eat pizza every week sometimes twice basically I eat want I want when I want and still lose weight it is so amazing. if you need any help with this just let me know maybe I can help you because I used to be you. stay safe 😙

I agree with goalgirl, food has to be a positive way to nurture your body. Try to focus on meals that you know you will feel good after eating. You don’t have to deny yourself everything but saying no to the first temptation and yes to the second or third will give you a break. Be proud of every small victory because you are doing well! Even if you do slip it’s not over, you got this 💪 don’t forget to be kind to yourself. If you like reading and writing, indulge! Anil’s Ghost is one of my favourites at the moment, beautifully written and fun to read 😊

when the overeating path starts within you, notice this happening as soon as possible and do something DIFFERENT (it's a pattern that starts up and can be changed)

I agree with most everything here , but I really think that half the pleasure of eating out or having a takeaway is that someone else has cooked, and put it in front of you! And they will wash up!! Perhaps you could ask your family and friends and partner, instead of going out take turns for a dinner party. Or supper. And if they are all on your side they will be delighted to feel as though they helped to loose that pound or half this week. Then you will know who your friends are too.... remember most people feel better about themselves if they are with someone who is fatter (awful, but it’s true). So think back, are some people suggesting takeaway or eating out, maybe to keep you from losing?
If the worst comes to the worst, then SHARE a main, and share a lovely pudding!! It’s cheaper as well!

when i'm tempted to eat things i shouldn't i try and fill my time with other things that keep me really busy to take my mind off food and take my mind off feeling hungry. I try and do things like cleaning certain areas of my home (even scrubbing bathroom floors), going out for a walk, sorting paperwork, looking round shops (not food ones). just anything that occupies my mind. I know different things work for different people so maybe try different things that may suit you? 😃

I definitely think cleaning helps anytime day or night . the temptation to eat takeaway is a bummer before you call one have a bowl of cereal to try putting yourself off i think the fact someone else's does all the work definitely encourages the temptation. unfortunately there us no easy fix you just have to be hard on yourself. try not beating yourself up as you won't help your depression we all fall off the junk wagon xx

I always tell myself tomorrow is another day. If I have splurged over the weekend I always increase my exercise rate to try and burn of the extra calories I have taken in. I have a fit bit so if I have eaten an extra 1200 calories on a Saturday night, I try to make sure I have burnt that off by the end of the week as well as a bit more in the hope I will still see some loss. I feel the exercise itself helps me get out of my slump and back to feeling motivated and disciplined, but I know it wont be the case for everyone.

Yeah, it's hard. I lost my weight because I'm always alone, now I cant even lose the rest 😅 - when you get that burst of motivation and you think things are going to change - you need to change now - now tomorrow, not starting next wednesday. Time for pudding and time for sugar in the next year when your 140lb and on the shores of Egypt with your fiance 😁

Thank you everyone, you've no idea what all your encouragement meant to me. I'm going to give all your tips a go and see what works for me, and try get in contact with my gp again to get some additional help. Hoping when I do my weigh in on Friday I've not put any on at least, but if I do, Saturday is a new day and I can get my mind straight and start again 😊 xx
