I need support. I'm going to be starting my diet in two weeks. Iv hated what my body has become over the last 5 years. Everytime I look in the mirror I feel so sad like its not even me anymore. Iv gained 10kgs and I want that 10kgs gone now. I don't feel sexy, I have to keep buying bigger clothes. And now iv decied that's it. I want to look and feel good again. But I need suport.

Hi there! I absolutely understand your pain, having put on almost 2 stone in a year. 2 months ago I fit in nothing in my wardrobe and yet I hated going shopping, not fitting in anything nice and refusing to pick up larger sizes. In fact, one time I really needed a pair of jeans and I found a nice pair in H&M in what I thought was a large size. When I couldn't get them over my knees, I just stormed out, refusing to buy anything bigger.

After sticking to a low calorie diet and following the couch to 5k plan along with weight training, I've lost over a stone and am feeling much better though I know there is still some way to go to reach my target.

It's great you want to do something about it but can I ask why you are not starting for another 2 weeks?

Good luck and all the best - you will definitely find support here.

Thank you for the support knowing I'm not alone in this battle makes me feel good about starting. Well itl be month end I'll have money to buy all the groceries and gear I need to start. As my house has nothing but unhealthy food. I want to wipe everything out and stock all the goodness I need to eat. I live in south africa, healthy living is expenise . But I'm excited to start. In my head I keep saying its going to be worth it

I see - I spent a month in Port Elizabeth a few years ago and I do remember the food being quite expensive but I didn't know if that was due to the drought they had been having.

It will be worth it - I find little non food treats help with motivation too.

You can do it, just take one day at a time and be nice to yourself
