I'm new here! Got made redundant last November and haven't managed to find another job yet. In the meantime, I have become a very overweight, lazy, couch potato, unmotivated hog! Was told ages ago I am in danger of getting diabetes and I have been burying my head in the sand ever since.

Hi Beadgirl. Welcome to the forum. One of the admins will be around soon to help show you around.
Just wanted to say a quick hi 👋 x

That must be frustrating and demoralising Beadgirl . But while you're job hunting, you can get your head out of that sand and start building new, healthy eating habits

Hello Beadgirl
I see that Anna has welcomed you on your first post, and hope that you are finding all the information there helpful.
Lovely to see you joining in.
hi Beadgirl and welcome. Take it one day at a time. Plan what you're going to eat tomorrow and stick to it. The daily diary is helpful. Wishing you the best of luck
You are probably entitled to reduced prices at your local leisure centres etc.
Complete the one you quiz truthfully and you’ll probably be offered some assistance free from your local authority. It differs depending on where you are
Job hunting is soul destroying when you are trying your best only to keep getting the door slammed in your face every time when you try to get somewhere as I have experienced it myself and the stress had made me ill as I was desperate to get out of my job and had pushed myself too hard and had ended up with a pulmonary embolism back in December.
I am better now and on anticoagulants but the experience has taught me a valuable lesson.
Good luck!
