This is my story
My name is jackie, my husband calls me jake, I have been marrried for 21 years, have two children a boy aged 17 and a girl aged 14.
I am very proud of my family and love them dearly, exept that my hubby loves takeaways, which doesn't help.
I am terrribly overweight. Food is a friend to me when I am feeling down which is pretty much most of the time.
My parents are wonderful, they are always smiling, mum moans a lot sometimes, this is because she has a lot to moan about.
My dad has quite a lot of things wrong with him medically. My mum is also waiting for an appointment for a double hip replacement.
The worst part is my dad suffers from the long goodbye (Alzheimers). Last week he went for his check up to be told he will deteriorate within the next 6-12 months. H e doesn't understand, just keeps smiling.
Emotionally I feel drained and out of control, I need help.
How can I caomplain when they have so much to worry about,yet they keep on smiling.
I have tried several diets, I have to say they all work. The thing that doesn't work or respond is my will power and determination to diet and keep it off.
Although in my defence I was more active than I am now. The job I currently do is more sendantry which doesn't help.
Plus I used to smoke, have been stopped seven years now, so food is the crutch, so is drink but not in the way ffod is.
I find it difficult to go out and walk alone. I have tried setting up a group but it wasn't very successful, so if anyone lives close to me, Sheffield or Rotherham and if you find yourself in the same predicament please get in touch, maybe we could meet up and excercise together.
Cooking isn't something I enjoy, however I feel I have to do more cooking as I won't lose the pounds otherwise.
I need to be re-educated about food and its purpose ,and my bad habits to enable me to move forward.
I have to be honest I have even thought about hypnotism, however I can't afford it.
Enough about my moans and groans
signing off now before everyone dies of boredam
Jake
