Ht. 5'8", Start: 211 lb, Today: 221 lb, Goal: 140 lb - I'm so frustated! All my friends are away on vacation. I've been sitting here at home seeing nobody else than my family. I'm eating all day long. And I've gained 10 lbs in four weeks! Unbelievable. Everything is getting tight now, I feel soooo fat, I don't want to go out anymore. Tonight I'm alone at home and I'm afraid I'll empty the fridge... What can I do? Does anybody feel the same?

Thanks a lot! Sounds like a good idea with those photos of very obese people. I always look at photos of my slim friends and get really frustrated that I I'm not that thin and probably never will be! And then I start to eat again to get some comfort. It's so sad... Last night was so awful. I felt stuffed like mad when I went to bed. And today is just another day like that... :-(

I feel exactly the same! Half my friends are away, so I've been staying home a lot more than normal, therefore eating more :(. When I get really desperate, I find photos on the internet of people who are so obese that they can't get out of bed. This may sound like I'm being nasty to those people, but it's a great deterrent, because after seeing the photos all I can think is 'I don't want to end up like that', so I can stop myself from eating so much. Good luck!
