650 Pound virgin regains hundreds of pounds

Its not just a physical problem its a mental one as well.

I was 22 stone at my biggest and i was addicted to food... the taste the smell... it made me happy when i was down and it became a reward for things.

I managed to slowly ween myself off it and i have lost 5 stone and kept it off... im still a large bloke ( 17 stone ) but i have a big frame to help it sit. My goal is to get down to 15.5 stone and keep it off. It is an ever going battle to stop the greed monster getting the upper hand again, the bit inside that says "get a big one" or "get a double cheese" and i doubt i will ever silence it fully i just have to say NO and get on with it.

Big weight loss without the mental change will NOT work.

The odd thing is that being fat you always end up with overweight partners or so i thought... i met my current GF a couple of years back and she likes big men ( bouncer types ) and we got together through a friend.. now she is size 6 and 5ft and gorgeous!

I often feel like its beauty and the beast but i have to put that kind of thought out of my head because perversely it makes me HUNGRY! the comfort thing kicks in and when you feel down and depressed about your size you seek comfort in food. Its insane and you can see yourself doing it but i guess its similar to telling someone not to smoke or take drugs, it gives the same feeling of comfort.

I get the idea some people are unhappy and think dieting will make them happy, when it doesn't they fall back on their old habit of comfort eating and put it all back on making them feel even more miserable.

Vicious circle.
