Is it any wonder I couldn't lose weight?

I have a confession... I'm not fat for some unknown reason, I'm fat because I eat ALOT of food. Not just food - takeaways to be precise.

In one day I could have takeaways for all 3 meals. McDonald's for breakfast, the bacon, egg & cheese bagel, hash brown and hot chocolate was my favourite. For lunch I might pick up a triple chocolate muffin, a sandwich and probably another hot chocolate. Then for dinner we might have Chinese or KFC. Hmmmm I don't think it takes a genius to work out why I'm 30kg over weight.

So why did I eat like this? Do I have an emotional eating disorder? I don't think so. I had a perfectly normal childhood (albiet a chubby one) and pretty good adolecence, I even escaped being teased by my fellow peers. I got a long term boyfriend at 16 for 6 years, I'm well travelled and well liked (I think). I have a great relationship with my family and friends.

The reason I'm fat is because I'm a piggy. I love eating. I love food.

So how am I going to lose weight? I'm going to eat the right foods and I'm going to work my ass of at the gym!

THAT'S HOW I'M GOING TO LOSE WEIGHT!
