Time for me

[geecee77]

Going through bereavement at the moment, but realise my bad habits of recent years - picked up whilst watching my parents go down hill and the loss of both, needs to be tackled. Not sure my head is in the right place to do this, but going to try! I need to lose 16lb to leave the obese category, and 44lb to get just into 'normal' range.

Ho and welcome - good luck on your journey

However if you are dealing with loss as well I suggest you don't push yourself too hard

Try and change the eating habits to healthy and then concentrate on losing the pounds once you feel up to it xx

Loads of of live n hugs and I hip you achieve your targets real soon x x

Grief is hard, I lost my parents in May, the thing is food won't comfort you, cost cuddles help me tho!

16 lbs is not far away, in real terms, good luck on your journey, do you have a plan?

Be kind to yourself, and accept what realistically you can change for now.

Hello geecee77

I'm so very sorry to hear about your bereavement , it is such a sad time but I'm sure over time it will get a little easier although we never get over it and why should we our parents are wonderful people they have looked after us all our life ,yes even when we are older and have a family of our own we still go to them for advice .

try and think of things this way your parents would not like you to be sad ,they would like you to be happy ,now that's not going to happen straight away just take one day at a time love and you will get better even though it will be a slow road

As for loosing weight you have not got a great deal to loose so if your head is not in the right place just start cutting back slowly instead of a cake have a piece of fruit , just do little changes now until you can be fully committed.

Take one day at a time love take it slowly and you will get there

Every one here on this site is lovely and will help you when ever you need it in any way shap or form as we have all been through things the same or similar to yours..

Try and have a good week fingers crossed on your healthy eating

Sounds like you may have some depression and seeing your GP to get some help with some med's for the short term might help. It's only natural to miss our loved ones sometimes a little help with the our pain. As mentioned by the others you do not truly do not have that much to lose. Following the NHS 12 week program can help you with setting up a plan. Increase your exercise. Stay in touch with the forum we are here for support. Best wishes to you.

What a very sad time for you to lose both parents

Perhaps it is not a good time to think of dieting but maybe to plan it for the future when you are in a better place good luck as you work your way through your grief and just think on they wouldn't want you to be sad.xx

I am sorry that you have had such a massive sadness to deal with and I understand if you are now thinking about your own mortality and want to lose weight to stay healthy and live a long and happy life that is my motivation for losing weight too. I would say be kind to yourself and make small changes to a healthier you. Have you seen the Monday weigh in really good support take care of you x
