Three stone to loose

[jenny137]

Hi

I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been! I’m very conscious of my weight even though I laugh it off! Over the course of about 16 years I’ve lost 10 stone (2 x 5 stone bouts after my pregnancies) and put it all back on again oh and not forgetting the 2 stone before my wedding! I know I can do this but this is the biggest I’ve been without being pregnant and I’m finding it so so hard! I don’t know why in truth! I know I’m leading a much busier lifestyle now but that should really help not hinder! I need to get control of my eating again so desperately seeking help!

Up at 3am writing this cause I can’t sleep and just keep thinking of how big I’ve got and how awful I feel - I need to do something about this now and feel happier and healthier again!

Good morning Jenny

I’m so sorry you are feeling so rotten that it keeps you awake, I’ve been there and understand totally 😕 My advice is to take it one day at a time, check you calorie target here nhs.uk/Tools/Pages/Healthyw... and then think about the type of food you are eating, fats are no longer viewed as the bad guys. Also, it is is more than likely you have some level of insulin resistance after years of yo-yo dieting, please read this for a better explanation healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Please take a look at the Welcome Newbie Post here healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

for advice about how they forum works and all the things we have on offer.

Good luck

Indigo 😊

Hi Jenny, Its hard to say no when theres so much temptation. I have tended to eat what I feel like when I want it. I write down cals now for everything I eat and try to get low cal snack options now for between my three meals so it gives me more to fill those tough moments. Slow and steady and make it happen. I am willing myself to do it also here because it isnt easy! but it is possible.

Welcome and good luck xx
