| I then think nothing, nothing is wrong with me. I am like so many people in the world who fall under the pressure of having to look good and being just so. So now I think what is it going to take to get this pressure off myself and change my thinking to not what I look like but what I feel like. I am almost 44 so I should be over the fact I want to be young and beautiful for the rest of my life. I have a wonderful husband and good lifestyle so there is nothing I have to do to get a man or find my life. I have given up smoking over a year ago with no trouble but when it comes to trying to eat right I find it so hard. Why is it so hard? Am I holding on to my fat for some reason? Is it a comfort for me to be fat? These are the question I ask myself and will have to continue to ask as I again start the process of trying to lose weight. I don't need to lose weight to look good I need to lose weight to continue to live. I find it hard to understand that I am so overweight that if I don't lose weight that I will die. Maybe not today or tomorrow but my life is certainly shortened considerably if I don't get healthy. So again I ask myself, don't you want to live a full and long life? I will have to think on that one. I am reading the book the Food lovers guide to dieting and it is spot on with what it has to say so far. I have been told this is a great read. I am back on the wagon again and this time with a little or should I say lot of thinking, I will hopefully stay there.

| Good on you for getting back on the wagon and trying again. I have recently started the program and so far so good. But it's not easy, every day is a battle and at the end of the day i pat myself on the back for getting through another day. I liken it to feeling similar to what a drug addict must feel like, or any other form of addiction, just one day at a time. I have been on many diets over the years, but this time i'm really doing it for the right reasons, for my health and my family. We just have to keep trying and plugging along, and over time we will have success. Good luck on your journey.

| Hi I have been dieting for the past 20 years. Losing weight, gaining weight over and over again. The difference this time is that I have finally looked at the reasons why I want ot lose weight and the reasons why I was overweight. I really looked at myself and my thinking about myself and food and other things. I really think that this is the reason I have successfully lost the weight and the reason that I will continue to maintain my goal into the future. I too read the Weight Loss for Food Lovers book and I credit it with helping me to start to really look at the things I have said above. It's a great book and I really liked it. Good luck with your journey and I really think that you are ont he right track by thinking about these things.
 ON TF MAINTENANCE SINCE 11/08/09 AND KEEPING IT OFF! v In 42 weeks (14/10/08 – 24/8/09) TOTAL WEIGHT LOST 40.5 KILOS! v I started at 110.4 kilos and dropped to 70 kgs. v My waist measurement dropped from 98 cm to 74cm. 24CM LOST! v I started out as a size 18/20 top & 22/24 bottom. I am now a size 10-12. v My BMI was 39.2 which was obese. I am now in a healthy weight range. v THANKS TF I COULDN’T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU!!

| Hi Kathie Reading your letter was like I wrote it about myself.. That book that you mentioned I am reading it too and it is great..This is my 4th go on the program, I lost 10 kilos and yes i too put it on,why I am not sure as I also am so desperate to lose weight...I find it hard to believe that anyone can stick to this program 24/7 like it says in the book it is normal to slip up every now and again NO ONE can stick to a diet 100% of the time, last week I lost 1.4kilos this week 400grams and yes to-morrow night I am having my spagetti bolognaise with garlic bread (once a week I treat myself) we use to have takeaway but we don't anymore I will get to my goal weight...... Good luck to you too Kathie I will be keeping a watchout for you on the forum and lets hope to-gether we can win this battle X
