I suspect that if we knew the answer to that there would be many more happier slimmer people out there. I would be one of them.

A short term solution is to buy a new android phone. I've barely eaten for three days.

I was there when you said insincere "I love you"s to a woman who wasn't your wife....

I'd also say "Eat *right*, move more" rather than eat less.

Right is the right mix of fuel for your body type, paying attention to both how you feel when you eat it, how it makes you feel and if it actually gives you energy or makes you bloaty and lethargic.

Which, for me, means minimal refined starch or sugar, as both Potatoes and Sugar are definitely my "I want to make myself feel better" foods... Emotional triggers rather than food for sure.

I still eat these if I really want to do so, and it comes from a place of just enjoying the food for what it is rather than how that food makes me feel... so, most of the time, I simply don't need to indulge.

Works for me, I'm *way* smaller than I was 20 months ago. It's going slow for me though, which I have no hassles with as I'm in no rush... That way my skin is keeping up with the fat reduction nicely... I do need to go work out though, put some muscle in my triceps and glutes to fill up the excess skin!

Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective & permanent than the one derived from fear of punishment.

If any of that makes sence. Oh and guess what excercise its not easy, its hard work, it hurts, your body hurts afterwards, it doest happen over night or over a couple of months. Dont use joint problems and pain as a way out or and escuse for been fat. I have been in pain from joint problems for years, but guess what I would prefer that to knowing that being fat will cause me heart problems and yes an early death.

Please accept my apologies for hi-jacking your thread.

The only way to permanently get around that problem is to eat the foods we were born to eat, such as fruit, veg, nuts, seeds. Although just cos its natural doesnt make it right for us. For example - cows milk - this was made for calves not us - our digestive system finds cows milk really hard to digest. Drink soya milk for a while and see how you feel after going back to cows milk. Euw.

I lost weight and felt fantastic after reading Jason Vales books.

I just have to think more and get a bloody hobby or 2!

It is not what you say or do but the way you say or do it
Those 3 words are said too much, but they're not enough

I have a bad emotional relationship with food when I am upset/sad I eat and when I am happy I cook nice food and eat. My problem isn;t so much my diet but portion control. i'll pop something in the fridge for tomorrow and then some time later find myself eating it, the leftovers never make it to tomorrow.

I know most of the reasons I have issues with food, just need to overcome them and deal with them differently.

As the OP says food/overeating is a symptom not a cause.

Hope this doesn't seem weird, but that year ago when I was engineering the person I wanted to become, a slice was based on you. You always seem so strong and together, and beautiful, and I wanted some of that.

It's good to hear you aren't too perfect :P

You are right, I have changed what and how and why I eat, and when work mates saw my lunch (fresh fruit, raw veg, cheese sometimes) they asked if I was on a diet, I said, "No. Lifestyle change. I always eat like this." I always eat healthily, that's true from this day forward. Thinking that way makes it possible.

And AMEN re the exercise! I hit the gym when I turned my life around because I want to be a stronger person physically as well as emotionally. I gave myself some wicked bad tendonitis, my foot swelled to twice the size of the other (obese people: avoid high impact cardio!). I got loads of aches and pains and it wasn't fun but 2 months later, I was introduced to endorphins. It still isn't FUN for it's own sake, it is still difficult, but about 20 mins into the work I feel a high, like, 'look what I can do'.

I haven't done the gym for 3 and a bit months now because I have a bulging disc that's waiting for surgery, but I will be hitting it again as soon as the docs say I can. The thing about exercise is finding something you don't hate, and I have ALWAYS hated sport. But Aqua aerobics, swimming, Zumba, dance lessons, and hitting the cross trainer with a decent play list were all less agony than other things I've tried.

My fat made me unhappy in part because I wasn't healthy enough to be happy- I had chronic joint pain in my knees and ankles, I had constant back ache, and I couldn't keep up with friends doing fun things like playing Frisbee and going on walks. I wanted to be able to do the things I enjoy with friends. I can do those things now. And I'm going to do more in the future.

I presume that was a typo' and you meant 'after eating Jason Vale's books'.
