Introducing myself.

[hutchy88]

Hiya,

I have found myself standing on the scales recently thinking what happened? when did i get so big? why have I let it get so out of control?

Found myself doing the usual -

joining the gym - check

Buying loads of healthy food - check

Joining weight watchers - check

So far I haven't stepped inside the gym, most of the food went in the bin and of course went to one weigh in class at WW

My weight gain is not only effecting my health but also my marriage now (even though my husband does says all the right things) I see how I look and I know he loves me but hes not blind.

My self esteem and confidence has hit such a low point. I am now scared to make the changes that need to happen in my life because I have let my body get so out of shape.

S.O.S

I feel embarrassed with my husband as well. They love us no matter what but I agree, they are not blind. All you can do is give it your all and see what happens. Good luck to you.

Don't worry about your husband, us men like a bit of meat on the bone! (Spoiler alert, even most of the ones who say they dont really do). Love matters more than shape or wobbliness anyway. Have some confidence in yourself, and good luck 😁
