Hi all
i was wondering as you do could we manage without the reds and still lose weight??????
I have now been coming online to this site for 5 weeks, I know that i have watched what i eat, and i have read many do have chocs alcohol and still lose weight , which is great but what do these reds actually do couldn't we lose without thenm if we are still eating the things we shouldn't??
Do i make sense??
I know that the reds suppress your appetite but can they really stop you eating the junk food??
I just think how we put on weight, i put on weight by eating to much chocolates crisps not really large meals and now i have with my own choice stopped eating junk, and i am really eating my normal meals yes they have gone down in size a bit but not alot.
what do you lot think of what i am trying to say?
have a think and let me know , it would be ood to see what you guys think.
happy slimming.
love niyra x

For me although I still have Junk although dont think of it as Junk now I think of it as treats, I dont eat them in the quanity I ate them before, ie I would have choc every day and not just one bar either, crisps I could eat 2/3 packets each time, lumps of cheese chopped into the bags too, I could munch a whole packet of biscuits in one go, if I went to town id go to greggs bakers and get sausage roll, sandwhich and two apple danish's, now if I go to town I very rarely go into gregs and if I do I would just get the sandwich and maybe one apple danish depending on if id ate anything else that day that was over my sat fat allowances. Take outs are restricted to weekend sat nights only. Also my portion is a teaplate as apposed to dinner plate piled up high, I think being on them so long has made me look at food differently I know that having treats wont make me gain weight, its eating them excessively that will. I have cut down on everything in my diet, especially fresh cut bread, choc, crisps, but unfortunately still have a big passion for cheese lol. I do worry though that any upset or sadness and I still turn to food like MIL comments the other weekend.

hi jellyb
I want to be truthfull i never ate hardley any thing all i did eat was junk food, then i would say i haven't hardly ate a thing, not thinking how many calories are in junk food, it wasn't a lot but then the body holds on to what it's got.
I haven't gone down to a teaplate yet but it's a small dinner plate that i use and i dont fill it up.
Others momnets are always going to hurt I have this happening to me so i ahven't said any thing about losing weight to my in laws, my MIL is 90 she wouldn't say any thing bless her but my SIL is some thing else, it will be just like what you went through when i do tell her but i am going to leave it.
Any way it is or minds that get Conditioned we think more about what we eat rather than just going for it.
well lets see if we can get the biggest hurdle out of the way.
XMAS

hI Niyra. I think for me reds has made me look at what i put into my mouth. Yeah i have done the weight watchers and the slimming world but always put the weight back on and more. Now though with reds i do not want to eat as much and when i do i try to make healthy choices. I own up to eating 2 bags of crisps in one go and a whole box of pringles and choc, choc and more choc before taking the reds but i now find that i dont really want to eat that now. Maybe its because my body no longer craves junk . Not to say i dont have the odd bar of choc or crisps i do but certainly not in the quantities i did before . I am really going to try hard over xmas but hey we are all human and have slip ups now and then and to be honest we all like to eat nice things even if they are bad for us.I will just have to not eat the whole tin of sweets or the whole tube of pringles lol.

hi debz
your right it is hard and we are only human, I am even getting worried to having my normal meals thinking i will gain.
I think this is my last chance and i think it may be what everyone else thinks too, like i said xmas is the big test,or this year anyway then it's easter for me.
well like you say we can only try and we sure will.
think back to how you were also to how you could be if you weren't on the reds.
we have to keep that in mind and try our best.
love niyra x

Right at this time, I dont' know that I could manage - I really think my brain is being retrained cos I've not eaten half as much junk as I usually would.
i've become a bit like a baby... if I don't see the food, it doesn't exist and therefore I don't want it (put it in front of me, and I'll eat it though)
This week at work there have been biscuits and tins of chocs and i've looked at them, but not stuffed handfuls in my gob like last year. I did have one yesterday but to be honest, i didn't want it and I have no idea why i ate it... it was there!
I hope that as time goes on I'll be able to retrain my mind to view food differently cos unless I can i'll end up banging the weight back on.
