I am waking up every morning and i am overwhelmed , i have got food cravings and i can't stop them and i want to much to achieve the body i desire but it seems i desire more the food which is i am obsessed with

( i love so much the food, it calms my mind , you know is the only thing at the moment who makes me happy after the food i have nothing else which makes me happy so....)

and is not only that even when i eat something i shouldn't be eating i feel guilty because i know that i messed up.

For some reason instead of believing on myself and i know that is possible to change i do the opposite of what i desire and i am feeling disapointed with myself and i am kind of despair you know....

Each time i am trying to do something is so hard for me , i am like fighting with myself, my inner self talking is like " i shouldn't eat that, i shouldn't do that" and i am getting like too serious every time i am trying to do something instead of being like a chill out guy it seems so unachivable.

I believe on something that i shouldn't be struggling in order to do something with my life.I shouldn't pushing myself, i should just do without excuses but excuses all the time on my mind....

I want to much to be happy, and i am like so sad with my life at the moment, i wish things would be more easier....why should i be in so much pain without kids without depts in bank.

I know that there is things that i would like to achieve and i should be patient but i am like i don't have patient at all....

Any advices guys? sad

    I was so sad when I read your blog.  First of all to achieve your desire for a better mind and body you have to be self-confident.  It would appear that that is what is lacking you have no confidence or self-liking.  You have got to 'like' yourself.  To do this look in the mirror and instead of saying 'oh I can't do this' tell yourself that you are wonderful try to think of the good things that you like about yourself.  I don't know if you are male of female but try to pick out the good points.  Have you got nice eyes, a nice smile, nice skin, nice hair?  Have you got a special friend who you can confide in who will boost your self-confidence. Keep on telling yourself this until you start to believe in yourself. I have been there and have been full of self-doubt and as a consequence was often bullied, But do you know what ny special person in my life is my husband, a wonderful man who has helped my confidence no end and I began to believe in myself. The first thing I did was to pass my driving test which he kept telling me I could do.  I am also very luck to have two wonderful sons and a lovely grandson who tell me all the time that I am loved and that is what boosts me up.  Just try to take it one step at a time and I am sure you will get there eventually.  Keep your chin up.

    Oh dear I just wrote loads and it disappeared! I have the same problem and have to find the right time and be in the right frame of mind, but just over a week ago I decided to try without committing myself and I have managed to lose 5lb. I have suffered with depression for years and tend to eat comfort foods, toast with butter, chocolate bars etc and I know for a start if I eat bread I do not lose weight at all. So I am off bread at the moment. I need to lose at least 3 stone altogether but I dont want to put too much pressure on myself. Its great to talk to other people in the same boat, that always helps and just make little changes to start off
