It still works for me even though I am in Ghana now. I introduced the concept to my colleagues last year and set up our own support group - we all lost a ton of weight. Yes some of us (myself included) put some of it back but we never got back to our original weight.<br /><br />I think the struggle with weight can be continuous but the secret is to persevere...Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671938512711928702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966828029284505556.post-27641750164591293252010-03-19T12:16:46.046+00:002010-03-19T12:16:46.046+00:00I'm no expert on weight loss but I have tried ...I'm no expert on weight loss but I have tried to diet once, and that ended 7 days sooner than it should have when I purchased a delicous caramel frappuccino from starbacks (with the whipped cream)! I have lost weight however, with good eating habits and consistent exercise. I didn't deprive myself but I made better choices. I thought carefully about my eating habits and decided I eat best when I cook for myself so I made my own meals, and I carried healthy snacks, which stopped my habit of buying whatever was available when I was hungry. I also exercised regularly. I started with powerwalking an hour every day and before I knew it, I was running. This is the only time I have actually lost weight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966828029284505556.post-46284179536944105262010-03-18T22:12:51.621+00:002010-03-18T22:12:51.621+00:00It's funny how so many females--actually peopl...It's funny how so many females--actually people period--have this issue. I wish I knew the answer hun, I really do!<br /><br />This may sound sad but on my list of prayers to God, my weight is always a concern on there. It has been since I hit puberty. I think maybe it's about having a good relationship with food. All in moderation and all that. Sorry but that's the best I can do. I have never been much of a dieter. In fact the moment someone mentions 'diet' I get hungry. But I do notice sometimes my body starts to moderate itself and I am more aware of what it feels like to actually be full and hungry, which sounds dumb but I think it's pretty important. When it get's like that I follow what my body is saying and generally it is at times like that that my weight starts to drop. For me, all forced attempts fail woefully.<br /><br />That's my two pesawa's and here's one more, if you'd never mentioned it I would have never known you had an issue with your weight. And like the other girls I thought u looked pretty hot, last I checked :DNsoromma...Child of the Heavenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10555876073225212247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966828029284505556.post-51251910267634124872010-03-17T17:55:15.461+00:002010-03-17T17:55:15.461+00:00Hmm this is indeed a tough one.

Maybe you just have to make a conscious decision to be happy with the way you are. I do feel sorry for you though because I <i>know</i> your mum's a force-feeder but to echo Afrocentric, you looked great last time I saw you too!Sankofahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15747229111296889760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966828029284505556.post-27840227366872806382010-03-17T15:21:16.083+00:002010-03-17T15:21:16.083+00:00Thanks peeps, Myne, the regularity of your regime ...Thanks peeps, Myne, the regularity of your regime sounds much more successful than yo-yoing like I do, I guess its actually rather obvious, thanks a lot!Friday's Afrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01785437973554150602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966828029284505556.post-76956342060342351382010-03-16T23:27:02.317+00:002010-03-16T23:27:02.317+00:00I would say I love my body, I could lose some weig...I would say I love my body, I could lose some weight I guess but luckily I have a regular pattern of eating where I do not add more than I can deal with at a time.

I have the problem where I worry about the weight I seem to be putting on at an alarming rate, but don't have enough will to do anything about it. I'm really sorry, but I can't really help you with getting over the body issues, because I am not much better off than you I'm afraid. I tried the cabbage soup diet earlier this year, and guess what? I didn't lose a lick of weight. I can only sympathise with you and assure you that I thought you looked amazing the last time I saw you.Afrocentrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08706608343039329489noreply@blogger.com
