First of all, thank you for your advice.
I have been looking into what food to eat, what it does to my body, etc... I am currently on the Montignac way of eating which allows you quite a wide range of food as long as it is not processed like white flour, pasta (spaghetti allowed), risotto rice ( brown, wild and basmati allowed), no butter or margarine. Also no sugars which means no jam (Sugar-free "marmelade" is allowed), no chocolate under 70% Cacao, no cooked carrots (raw allowed), no honey, etc... It is not at all like the Atkins Diet nor a non-combine Diet, the only thing which you are not allowed to eat together is cheese and bread. You are allowed cheese, oils, nuts, anything which hasn't been refined.
I am giving you these information because even with that, I would be good for 3 / 4 months and I still end up with things like kebabs, pizza, biscuits and all these kind of things. I would go shopping with good intensions and start with vegetables, fruits, 0% fromage frais / yoghurts and then would pass the chocolate / crisps / biscuits aisle and would look at them and before I know it I have a whole selection of sweet / salty stuff in my basket. I take it home and hide it at the back of the cupboard to hide it from my husband, wait that he goes to bed and then just binge.
I have got sugar-free sweets but I eat so much of them that my stomach cannot handle it and make me pay for it.
Everywhere I go everybody is eating sweet and savoury things, let's just not talk about the restaurant, there is so many smells and forbidden food that I rarely go there. I feel people are looking at me wispering that this fat woman eat too much, too quickly and shouldn't be eating all that.
For the sport, I have very little motivation, I tried having a sport partenair but that works only a little while. Indeed I feel better but the motivation goes after a month or two.
I had thought about an excercise bike but, I am not sure if I would use it. I also thought about a treadmill, here again, would I use it, stick to it?
Thanks again.
