Anxiety about weight gain

[Bungiecat]

I am 43 have issues surrounding having a BMI of 31.03 my anxiety is round the fact that I consider the f@ct that I permanently look like I have a non baby bump and look pregnant Gail

I have this problem too, i try to watch what I eat and I have recently started to go to zumba 4 times a week but the muffin top wont budge. It can be down to stress, hormones, to many carbs, not enough exercise and irregular bowel movements. If I were you I would pick an activity that you like to do and up your water intake to get things flowing. Start walking for 30-45mins a day, listen to cut the fat podcast while you walk, they have a lot of tips and as you are listening you dont concentrate so much on the walking.

Thanks for your message I need to wait till I see doctor in the morning and find out whether I need to cut dairy, carbs or some other reason for the belly fat I feel I may be premenopausal Gail

My BMI is 34.8 so I understand how you feel.

I don’t exercise, I smoke pot and eat too much. Is a downward spiral.
