I agree with Whiff about joining another thread, the ladies over there are extremely helpful and super-friendly! I've been in your shoes for some time and I motivated myself with the trick my DD told me about: I've printed out my own photo and put it on the fridge. My daughter used Photoworks photo program to make me look thinner and this "thinner" version of myself was my motivation and it gave me strength to stay away from the sweets. I also think the problem arises from you avoiding any sugar for quite a long time, try to limit it but don't turn off of it completely, or your body will backfire you with this compulsive episodes of consuming sugar.

Nata may I suggest you read I'am a ? sequel. And join us on there. I have lost over 7 st by myself and needed support Fourormore, NanKate and all the others are a great support. No one is judged and everyone is friendly and helpful. You can pour your heart out and be listened to. Please join us I know how much they have helped me especially recently when I went through 4 hellish days of loneliness. Anyway read what everyone else has written. And hopefully see you there.

I don't know how old you are but I used to be like this when I was having periods. After a few days I'd be back on track. So could it be hormonal for you? I learned that it wasn't worth fighting and just went with it.

I've been trying to work on my body to make it more fit and I do exercises but I know it all comes from the foot. I spend 2 weeks withouteating any sugar but right now I feel like my body tries to regain it and I crave everything sweet (i.e. chocolate, different things with sugar I don't usually eat like condensed milk). Now I can't find the tiniest motivation to eat more healthy. What do you do to stay motivated and eah healthily?
