I constantly self sabotage any diet, whenever I start anything new, DH nows justs raises his eyebrows and sighs 'not again'.....
Started Cambridge in the Summer as an attempt to quick fix,needless to say have stopped doing that now,,, Have tried Slimming World, Weight Watchers and 5:2 in the past
I do suffer from depression and have been on anti-depressants on and off for about 10 years now.... Probably should see the Dr but trying to get an appointment is impossible
Am considering rejoining a Slimming club as figure support would be good rather than going it alone, but a) don't know to go for SW or WW and b) just feel like a failure before I've even started.....
Had my hair done to try and make myself feel more positive but that hasn't worked .... Feel so fat and frumpy and like a heffalump..... clothes don't fit
Help

 I wish I could help but I don't know how I have been in the pit where you are. Sometimes I manage to crawl out (I'm crawling my way out of one now...been trying every diet under the sun in 2015) but I'm not sure what triggers me actually being able to stick to a diet for a bit as opposed to just endlessly trying and failing. I thought it might be desperation, but I've been to the point of despair loads, and only sometimes does it drive me to a bit of weight loss success. So all I can offer you is that you're not alone and don't give up hope xxx try keeping a diary on here of good and bad times to get support.  |

This was exactly where I was for many years. ...I don't know how to answer your problem because everyone's struggles are for different reasons.
All I can tell you is aboyt my experience. ... I had my daughter in 2007 and prior to having her had always battled with my weight but it never really concerned me enough to do anything much about it.
After having my daughter I was up to a size 18 and desperate to lose weight. ...I tried a million different diets and ultimately every one failed. ...I would start a diet on Monday already knowing that by Friday I would have failed and that was exactly what happened every time!
I'm 2009 I managed to lose a couple of stones with slimming world then regained it all plus a bit more.
This went on for years. Finally something clicked and I realised that the biggest problem was me. ...I expected to start a diet one day and see results immediately and because I didn't I would quit.
In august 2014 on a family holiday I realised how bad things had got and made my mind up that I absolutely had to do something about it. ...no excuse. ...and to forget about the results in a week. ... focus on where I could be in three months!
Finally I found a way. ...I started with paleo but quickly switched to calorie counting as paleo was too restrictive.
By December I was down to a size 14 and 3 stones lighter! I stuck with it and am now in size 10/12 ...I started at 223lbs and am now at 158lbs.
I still have to think about it, I still have to work at it and every day it would be easy to forget it and eat, eat, eat.
But, I know what I can achieve with the right mindset!
I know this doesn't necessarily answer your question but if there is anything in my experience that can help you with yours then it was worth me sharing!
Good luck, we're all here to offer as much support, help and encouragement along the way xx
