I have been trying to lose weight for years. My body disgusts me and I want to be healthy. I work out, I eat right most of the time but I always slip up. I was raised in a family with bad eating habits and my mom covered her inadequacies as a parent by giving me and my brother junk food. I have depression and a thyroid problem. I take metformin (for blood sugar levels) and a thyroid hormone. I am not diabetic and I'm terrified of getting to that point.
It just feels like no matter what my best intentions, I let myself down. When it comes to food, I often can't moderate myself.
So having tried all the rest, I am thinking of turning to hypnosis. I was wondering if anyone out there has tried it. If it's only going to be a waste of time and money, I might as well skip it and keep trying the way I have been (effort is better than nothing, right?)
Oh and any abuse I get on here for being fat is nothing to me. You think I don't despise myself enough for what I've let myself become and that I just can't make any progress in changing?

I keep a daily journal of when I eat sweets and how much I eat.
Losing weight is hard work; you need to want it 100% to gain effective results.
I am talking from experience. I wasn't super fat, but I was overweight. It took me a long time to get where I am today and I could not be happier. I am alway working towards bettering and maintaining my body, healthy lifestyle and health.

This really helped me. You have to set yourself a goal and always motivate yourself. Trust me, when you start this you will not want to stop. It is hard, but when you get to where you want to be you will thank yourself.
I don't know much about it so I can't say that you should do it but I would talk to a doctor if I were you.
2. work out
That's all there is to it. Stop looking for backdoors.
