First GP appointment in yearssss tomorrow AM! I feel 🤮 I can't sleep with the anxiety!

Hi all!

So I lie awake tonight not able to sleep due to the fact that I have a doctors appointment in the morning, where for the first time in my life - I am going to ask to be weighed.

I can feel and see how much weight I have gained in the last 3 years and its time I made a change! I am scared and anxious! It's something I feel like I can't talk to friends and family about as I am too ashamed.

So I come to this website and hope it will help me motivate myself into losing weight, and hopefully toning my belly, that has grown massively in the last few years.

So I will start my weight loss journey in the morning!

Look forward chatting to you!

Wish me luck 🤞

I remember that feeling ( I'm sure most of us do) . The day I faced the scales I wanted to cry but it was the wake-up call I needed.

There are many of us on here who faced the same anxiety as you, but we've survived to tell the tale and are now healthier and happier for it. For me that was in 2014 and since then I've never looked back.
