			<description><![CDATA[Hi 
  
 I wanted to say, if your problem lies as you say in self esteem, that won't be solved by losing weight. You may just find other 'faults' and latch onto those. Or you will get back into a rut and put the weight back on. If you have these sorts of problems you need to look into counselling or th...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thanks, meweird, that happens to me so much. My mum usually buys these sharing bags of crisps for me and my dad and I tell her don't buy me them anymore because I know that I'll probs eat them in one sitting but she still buys me them and so much more stuff that I tell her not to buy me. It's so fru...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yea I'm using that website and i'm pretty much eating everything i want but i'm taking note of how much i'm eating. portion sizes for most day to day living is something hard to realize how much i'm really eating vs how much i really need to be full.  
  
 So far so good but i'm just a week in i think...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think if you really put your mind to it you will lose that weight by September. Your Mom is very conflicted about the whole weight loss thing (yours and hers). You and your mom and to some extent your dad are very enmeshed with each other. I'm afraid it's going to take alot of strength on your par...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well today after dinner by mum was like 'there's some rice pudding in the cupboard if you want it' and I said NO and then she offered me ice cream and again I said NO. And then she went and got the tub of ice cream and ate it, while I was doing the dishes. And I kinda felt bad for her. My dad never ...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Jen, it sounds like you did fabulously! Your stubbornness will really help. Maybe in a quiet moment you can sit your parents down and tell them it would really help you if they didn't offer you crisps and ice cream and such. As you become healthier and fitter, they may see it as an insult to them an...]]></description>

My greatest achievement was getting into university and I did that all by myself but when I comes to losing weight I always seem to start it with my mum or my dad and then I fail because t...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Jen, you are developing some great insights as to why your previous attempts to get healthy didn't work out. I really think you have something there!  
 You have a good plan for your weekend too. Having a non-eating reward for yourself is a great idea. 
 You are starting to see yourself as separate fr...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[One of the hardest things about losing weight and getting healthier is when those around you don't support and aid you with your goals. This is when you have to dig down deep and remember that you're doing it for YOURSELF and not them.

			<description><![CDATA[My weekend went really well. I didn't cheat once. Yay! I was in Greggs with my mum buying lunch and she was like 'do you want a donut or a cake?' and I was 'NO!' Other than that, I didn't have to say no any other times. By mum had bought me some healthy snacks to eat and we ate healthily for once. I...]]></description>

 First goal is to lose 6lbs so I can get that bag that I want.]]></description>

I love it!!! I used to binge milk chocolate but my daughter advised me to switch to at 65% dark chocolate and so now if I really want it...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well, what can I say? I haven't exercised since my last update and I ate a tad too much at the weekend. My parents were away at the caravan so it wasn't the fact that I gave into them.  
  
 On Thursday after college, I was very stressed, I have a media exam on Friday and I have to write two essays, o...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Jen, it's okay. The path to weight loss is not straight. It's curvy and bumpy and we sometimes stray off the path. Get back on! Sometimes we fall down. Pick yourself back up! Try to figure out some other ways to de-stress besides overeating. Make yourself <a href="http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Physical_Exercise" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Physical_Exercise')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about Exercise">exercise</a> regularly and it will become a habi...]]></description>

I have created a calendar from May to August, every two weeks I have made a weigh in day and gave myself a mini goal. If I have reached this goal then I will give myself a big non-food reward. Also, to keep me going each we...]]></description>
