I need something, some sort of supplement ?

[fimm]

Spoke to my Doc yesterday about this (amongst others)
...
So there you go, there is a 12 Month waiting list for an initial consultation, so I will still try and beat this myself but, now, I have the support and expertise that I need, headed my way and it actually feels good to have asked, as opposed to how I used to feel, dirty etc.

That's good news that you feel good about having asked - and now you are in the system that is good news too. Keep going! :-)

Great news, Gaz! How's your "menu" these days? I remember your initial list, and then various things being added ...
Hope you are still surprising yourself every so often with new things you like!

All the best

Hi Gaz, not much to add top what has already been said, but I think you need to stop beating yourself up over your previous self confessed neglect of your body. You will not go back to that place, you have shown in spades that you have the determination not to go back to that place.

This is more psychological than physiological. I know, because I went to the same place a couple of years back, unfortunately as you know from the constant questioning of legitimate SED cases, the help for mental related illnesses leaves a lot to be desired in this country. Your support network here will be your friends and family and to a much lesser extent, people on the outside I.e "us". Let me explain that I am not am expert and only you will know deep down if you have any issues.

Jon.

Gaz, excellent news on taking the steps you have!! It's good to know you're not doing this all alone. You will conquer this!

Starving yourself and compulsive excercise is going to be even more of a slip up healthwise IMHO.

There are other issues at play here and I don't think it's something for the health and fitness section to solve.

+1 Health always being the most important issue.

That's good, but just be careful that your intake is right for the amount of exercise you're doing.

Sure, this is a whole new game for me, like learning how to walk as an adult

I haven't got anything extra to add, But being new and not knowing you I just wanted to say that your story is amazing gb155!

My husband was 22 stone at one point (and is now around 17, but he body-builds these days...) and I know how hard loosing five stone was for him, let alone 26!

Well Done!

As far as nutrition goes, I like PHD Flapjack + about an hour before and Cytomax or similar isotonic during! But everyone is different!
