: Hi Rosie,

: I would like to respond to your note.
: I will add my comments right
: inside what you have written.

: Hi everyone

: I am glad you are here. You are
: in the right place and I know that
: if you can manage to stay, it will
: be life-changing for you. It is
: good that you joined YLD. I hope
: you will come to chat and make a
: connection.
: :
: I am really struggling with working
: on my eating. I'm overweight,
: middle-aged, and struggling to
: find motivation. I've had to work
: very hard at nearly everything in
: life, I've struggled with
: addictions and taken some big
: losses in life. I really want to
: feel better.

: yep, this is petty much the
: profile of most of the folks who
: come here. Hold onto the wanted to
: feel better.

: But I also sabotage my eating, and
: find myself thinking 'is it worth
: me doing this, why bother, I'll
: never stick to it, why does it
: matter if I feel better or look
: better, I'm really selfish
: focusing on this, who cares if I
: neglect myself/look after myself'.
: I'm sorry to be so negative. I
: know these thoughts stop me from
: making progress.

: Yep, that would be your sugar
: addiction and unbalanced
: biochemistry talking: h3) The key
: to success is to simply kiss those
: feelings on the nose and ignore
: them and simply do the food. You
: can be miserable and if you do the
: food, all, all those feelings will
: change. And if you chose not to do
: the food and walk away, you will
: stay miserable and nothing will
: change.

: You are in the right place. We know
: what to do. We can support you.
: and. life can be different.

: Warmly,

: Kathleen
