I am also an emotional eater and had another aha moment when I realised that I associate food with being happy and secure.

My Program:
 Done with diets - I'm on a permanent lifestyle change. I am eating healthy foods most of the time - I'm no saint! But I am tracking everthing daily. I am starting to exercise little by little - need to strengthen my muscles to support my joints and reduce the lower back pain when I walk. The chair exercises are brilliant! I have started to use the visualisation techniques I read about on here.

Personal Information:
I live in Cheshire in the UK.

Other Information:
 I like to read and make cards and explore new places..

Love the advice and am grateful to you for leaving it in your response to my blog. Plainly a change of attitude is needed and as I know you live by your words I’ll be trying to change. As you say ‘dieting’ is just not the way to look at it and I need to remember that.
Good luck with the mojo – and enjoy the fruit and veggies. I’m not much affected by the winter weather but I know SO many people who find everything so much harder going when it’s damp and gloomy. Hopefully it’ll all improve soon . . .??? emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon

Thank you for taking the time to respond to the thread regarding my "female" issue. Having you share your own experience and knowing that everything turned out fine, is truly comforting. Thank you for your support and kindness. I can't express enough how much I appreciate it.

Thanks so much for the birthday balloons XXX Am having a generally very indulgent time - nothing new there then! Out for birthday lunch soon - as I mentioned but what I wasn't expecting was champagne cocktails which OH is mixing as I type - so gotta go - and HAVE to remember that I mustn't spoil all my efforts here this month.
Feel free to emoticon me at any - or indeed all - points!!

BIG emoticon

Hey - you're welcome (to the birthday wishes that is!) Delighted you had a good birthday/anniversary celebration - Brixham was it? Glad you kept steady on the weight front - well done you!
Mine is tomorrow and am just back from a really nice overnighter in a local hotel I've been wanting to try out for ages - on the risque and mad side but had loadsa fun. More fun to come tomorrow - lunch out - but intend to behave and not drink too much wine ;-) My life is paved with good intentions and I slither a lot but feel pretty determined at the moment. An even keel is my resolution right now.
Talk soon my dear. Lossa emoticon and Xs
