One of the least useful things I read when I’m in the depths of my weight loss despair are articles from people who have lost loads, and are invariably grinning as they hold up some trousers/a skirt/grundies/whatever that they used to squeeze into, but are now way too baggy. On the one hand, genuinely good for them. On the other, nothing got me reaching for a bag of crisps faster. One thing to note: weight loss isn’t a goal for everyone. There are many reasons for putting weight on, and excellent organisations such as Beat, for instance, have information on eating disorders for insance here. These tips, though, proved useful to me, and may do to you too. Weight, and weight loss, are never far from my mind, and I suspect will always be something I struggle with. But I’ve enjoyed minor victories, and hope to continue to do so. Please share your own tips below. And stay awesome.
