What iv done to counteract the binging is i only buy healthy foods now....that way if im wanting a binge i *have* to be healthy! It sucks but it means i dont put on weight.I also keep hot cho in so if im craving some biscuits or something sweet it can satisfy that craving!

and yeah iv heard all about mcds being sued! Insane! lol...some branches of mcds here do free refills but not all.

Best of luck hon, will Clinton be eating healthy alongside you to give u support?

Eat little and often then you wont get hungry and raid the cupboards.

When i visited america i said to my mum the place should have a health warning on plane tickets....portion sizes were mahusive! in Mcdonalds your small size was our medium...and a generous medium at that! We dont and have never had the supersize option! lol.

You seem enthusiastic Sarah...iv every faith you'll do well. Soon you'll feel much healthier and that'll give u more motivation to continue. Good ideas xxx

dont be afraid to relax a little over christmas. you still gotta have a turkey etc! But...cook a smaller portion for you all perhaps? I know in America you guys do everything on a large scale (I cant believe the effort some mums went to last yr for xmas!)

Keep me posted...and good luck
Oh and weigh urself same time of the day every week...dont do it every day.

Honey that sounds excellent.

Dont think of it as a diet...it's a change of lifestyle! That way it seems less hard going!

Dont be disheartened if some months you lose less weight than others, remember that as you begin to lose it, the amount you lose will decrease over time.

Im wishing you the best of luck Sarah....

Good luck on the weight loss. Have you got much to lose?
