Oh, yes I do tend to focus too much on the negative. I didn’t know I was doing that, thank you for pointing that out. I can exercise pretty easily 3 times week because there is an ever present motivation of inability to walk without back pain. Seriously I just go 5 pounds over my current weight and the pain is unmanageable.

I like the idea of water which by the way is a fairly new habit for me. Up until 2010 I was a soda drinker and the raw vegan diets (3 times) helped cure me of that addiction. Positive huh? :) I drink water all the time now but have picked up the Coffee habit.

I appreciate you Petra ((cyber hugs))

My first thought is that this post and the last 2 updates have really focused on hunger. Weight is a problem for me as well. I am morbidly obese. I know I am. However, for me, exercise is a real issue.
My thoughts are that you are very focused on the negative. I think that you need to look at positive instead and most importantly, forgive yourself when you mess up! If you are offered pizza.. pace yourself.
The one ‘tip’ I have is to consciously eat more slowly. It can take 20mins for the brain to realise you are full. Sip water at the same time. If you feel hungry between meals, drink water and wait 20mins. If you still feel hungry then eat something.
I would definitely find a supportive friend in this. Their job is tell you to relax when you mess up and not tell you off for that bag of chips. :)
Good luck and I hope some of this essay (lol) helps
