It is a real help for me to know other people are working through the obstacles of life and slimming, especially when all you want to do is hide in a darkened room with a big bar of something naughty. <br /><br />I was impressed by the photos of your weight loss and you could definitely see a difference, keep it up... and don't beat yourself up about a slip, we all have them, remember that the only difference between success and failure is knowing not to give up.Honouriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11029310438388989269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354326868597827558.post-29712244978196852722011-04-14T07:51:43.476-07:002011-04-14T07:51:43.476-07:00People do die all the time, but it impossible to s...People do die all the time, but it impossible to say "Oh, people die all the time, loads of people loose their... I should just get over it" but it's not that simple. You never know how you're going to react to a death, whether you see it coming or not. I thought I was ok with death. After my brother died it just seemed to stop affecting me so badly.<br /><br />When my mum died I thought I'd be ok. I had just kept on going throughout her illness, because I was needed, even after she died I had to sort out the funeral and all that. Then I realised that a massive chunk of me truly died with her and I went through all those things like overeating and not taking care of myself at all. I think when you hurt so bad, you just want immediate gratification over long term things. You just have to find a way to cope, but each time it's different. <br /><br />Sometimes a diet alone won't do it. You might need to get counselling or anti depressants if your relationship with food is spurred on by your mood. I was prescribed Orlistat at one point but didn't get on well with it. Most importantly exercise as much as you can, make it as fun as possible (like sex, dancing or playing XBOX Kinect or something on the Wii) go for walks so you aren't in the house eating out of boredom. Boredom is my worst enemy.<br /><br />And get rid of all temptation. Don't give yourself unhealthy options if you know you're going to take them.<br /><br />You can do it, don't give up.Hell Thirteenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14341532416036614849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354326868597827558.post-53333067919330916772011-04-14T03:47:24.642-07:002011-04-14T03:47:24.642-07:00Great post Gemma!
