I have always had a good appetite ,and ate healthily too,but since the pandemic all my good intentions have gone out the window because i'm craving sweet things now,and before this i never was a sweet tooth.
I love to cook and still do even though i'm on my own,but i have no idea about portion control,and always cook far to much,and i end up overeating,but anything i do have left over is never wasted because the birds do very well.
I have suddenly developed a craving for bread and cakes,and i suppose it has'nt helped since i now bake my own bread,and eating it with lashings of butter is my guilty pleasure....a pleasure which will be my downfall if i dont watch it....greed seems to have taken over but i wont beat myself up about it,i will enjoy it whilst i can...lol.
I have put on 2 stone since lockdown,and as someone who is generally very vain,i am ashamed of myself for letting my eating get out of hand,and thank goodness for elasticated trousers,they are a Godsend.

😁😁Needs must! I did try buying a bigger size but they were like a tent. I'm like a Space Hopper on Stilts! Bizarre image maybe, but true 😄 Humongous stomach with 'relatively' thin long legs, quite a catch!😆
Middling as per, but 'sun is shining in the sky, there ain't a cloud in sight, to quote ELO! It is cold though, brrrrr! How's about yourself? Any nice plans for the day?
Mr Blue Sky, great, as are all their others. We've got cloud here at the moment but the sun is trying to break through so it looks a little promising for some washing. 🤞 Apart from that, no nothing planned. I'm getting used to not going out and when I have to now, I feel that I don't want to - sad isn't it! 🙃
Me too, it is! I've showered, dressed and plucked my eyebrows, something I've been unable to do in quite a while, and am now exhausted! Oh the joys of RA and aging! Should definitely be motivating myself to go out for a walk or something but just feel so very lazy, and nice and warm and safe inside! Xxx
I've had it reoccurring since 2015 but it hasn't flared badly since 2017. I can breathe a little easier now although still have to sit up and forward in bed. I can't sit upright or back at all.My GP has mentioned hospital but I'd rather avoid and exhaust all possibilities first.
Breathing is exhausting. RD is so draining as well all know x
Yes, I've heard them described as that before and it's true!
I'm so happy u are happy. Ur posts depicts a picture of someone who knows what is wrong but is happy at the same time. Who said we should look boney anyways? As long as it doesn't affect ur health and ur self-esteem, I am happy as well. Much luv here
Over the last three years I have lost 5½ stone - and I have kept it off during lockdown.Try a Low-Cartberhydrate, High-Fat (LCHF) diet, and Intermittent Fasting:
Not much I can say about this secrets22 except I'm glad this is a bit of a 'club'. Don't ask how we will tackle that surplus weight when life regains some normality, but my stock answer when I feel a pang of guilt over reaching for the next snack is that 'I'm looking after my mental health'!😄
Home baked bread sounds wonderful - with lashings of butter too is my fave, but (and here is the but) I have to be really careful not to regain the weight I lost last year. So it's an occasional 'treat' for me.
I joined weight loss support on HU and I can honestly say that it's completely opened my eyes as to how to eat well but not to go on a 'diet' as such, and how a calorie is not a calorie etc. And they explain about cravings when on high carbs which was really interesting. Anyway take a look if you are interested, they seem a really supportive crowd of people. Good luck with this.
