Thanks for everyone's great comments, it's comforting to know that other people are having the same feelings that you may be feeling.

Often when you want to lose weight you feel so isolated. You can't very well just tell people that you're miserable being overweight - because of course they will just say "then do something about it", because of course they believe it's your own fault!

Finally we have found something that works. Beginning this was the hardest part. I feel relieved that I have adopted the WOE and feel good knowing I can do it.

I look forward to reading more feedback. I can relate to most of the comments that were posted.

Thanks
