Thanks for the tip Jules
Well confession time. I went out with my family why they were here and I was feeling pretty good about myself and we were having a good time. Over this time a couple of blokes came up to me trying to make conversation .It has freaked me out. When I was a kid a few nasty things happened to me and I thought I had got past it. I will never forget it but I had thought I had learned to live with it. I said to my mum I need to put that weight back on, omg I can’t believe I said that. Now I think im slowly starting to sabotage my self. God I didn’t think I was so stuffed up in the head. Can you believe that I have only just realized that I have used my weight as a safety net?
Lunch
2 tomato and onion sandwiches
Snack
1 banana
1 cup chips
Handful of chocolate coated nuts and sultanas
Now that you know,rosered, maybe that will help you get to the bottom of your emotional eating! Its very comman for people who have had 'problems' as a child or young adult to "want" subconciously to be overweight as not to draw attention to themselves. I hope this new understanding helps you.
I think everyone at some point uses there weight as a saftey net. Food can be comforting . I find that i do eat more when i am alone or stressed. but we have to overcome it and challenge ourselves. i know you can do it!

Now that you can admitt that, it will get easier. You will know now why you're doing it. Good for you, Dr, Phil would be proud!! As he says, the weight is the symptom, and you need to treat the cause.
Although it's sad that you had to have that revelation with yourself it's probably good that you did. A lot of women use their weight as a saftey net. I know I have in the past. Sometimes when I think about losing weight and having a wider choice of men to choose from it freaks me out. I've only had physical relationships with guys who have shown interest in me first-never with anyone I tried to make the first move with. It's a scary thought though, actually having more prospects. Because more prospects means more ways to get hurt as well. It's something to think about. You sound like you're doing good with the diet though, don't let the chocolate throw you off! A little bit of chocolate is good for your heart anyway. Just a little though!
Thank you to all you girls for caring I really appreciate it, I will be fine I was just a little caught out I think. You think you no you’re self and then you have a whole new revelation .I went to a job interview today and was told that I didn’t type fast enough lol (I had told them that but they didn’t believe me until I got on the computer )she couldn’t give me the job because of that but asked me if I could go to a typing class and come back in a fortnight so im pretty excited about it (she asked me to use more than 2 fingers ,I had to tell her I was slower when I did that lol.)All I have to do is 25 words a minute so im sure I can manage that in 2 weeks.
