That sounds grim Blossom. I do hope things improve for you with the IBS/Gastritis.
A few years ago my doctor, having told me I needed to lose (ahem) 10 kilograms, gave me the best advice I have ever had. Don't go on any special sort of diet - eat sensibly of course, but eat the things I like, just in smaller portions. And it really worked for me.
I lost that 10 kg in about six months, and have kept it off in the last couple of years. It was hard at first because I felt so hungry, but then of course the stomach gets smaller, and it is all bearable. Best of all, I didn't get the cravings for sweet things because I didn't cut them out altogether, just reduced the amount.
