Sad and upset

[yonkyu]

I have been struggling with my weight due to stress and loneliness.

Since I have started my Master's Program I have gain 20 pounds. I am at my HIGHEST weight ever. And I feel disgusted with myself.

At 215 lbs. I have been pushing myself to drink more water and some small exercises to help.

I feel so disgusted with myself and upset that I let this happen.

So hopefully I can lose some weight before my physical in September.

Very sad and tears.

Right now I'm doing this thing called Easy Loss Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis. It's an app that I have on my phone and my iPad but there is are other android versions and stuff.

And it's miraculous!

You have four basic guidelines - eat anything you want - only eat when you're hungry - eat slowly - stop eating when you're no longer hungry.

There is a food diary, water diary, and two hypnosis sessions a day. Also, the best bit is there's a Facebook support group where people share their experiences, ask for help and advice, or share their successes and hard days too.

It's not a diet, you can really eat anything you want as long as you stick to the guidelines - although the hypnosis helps to support the idea of healthy eating - so you never feel deprived or like you're starving yourself. And even if you slip up and have a bad day, it's okay. You can have a moan about it on the Facebook page and then just start again the next day.

They also have other apps - Little Black Dress, Bikini Body etc - that have difference hypnosis sessions although the guidelines are the same, and something called the Chill Pill, which has sessions to help with chocolate craving, or anxiety or...well, loads of stuff.

I've loss 10 pounds in a month. I'm sleeping better. I've started running and exercising daily and I can fit in clothes I thought I was going to have to chuck out. The app is £4.99 but I saved that in the first week alone by not buying any chocolate!

It's definitely worth doing, especially with all the support you get with it : ) xx

Thank you for sharing your story with me. I wish you the best of luck on your journey to losing weight.

I started using the Lose It app again and we will go from there. I drank 110 ounces of water today, which is way more than I ever drink in a day.

Thank you for the tips, thoughts, and suggestions. It's a long journey ahead.

I think that's the key, thinking of it as a journey. There's no quick fix, just small changes everyday.
I'm pretty sure you can join the facebook group without having the app, it does really help to talk to people going through the same thing. Good luck, Hunny : ) xx

I completely agree. It is a journey and small easy changes will make a big difference in the long run.

Thank you for the support and encouragement.
