Support needed please!

[Honeystar]

I’m newly divorced and really struggled the last year. I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been at 5’3 10 stone. I hate myself. I would happily live in a dressing gown if I could. I really want to lose weight but find it so hard. My problem is I drink to much to deal with my sadness and stress. I can’t really see any way out. I’d really love some support and maybe to make friends. I still run and I’m quite active. I have a good day then ruin it ☹️

Hello Honeystarand welcome to the weight loss forum. Please have a good read of the Pinned Post “Welcome Newbies”. healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

This is a very large community with lots going on. May I suggest you use the webpage as opposed to the app at least until you know your way around. Take your time and follow every thread so that you know exactly what’s going on.

Here’s the link for a “Tour” of the forum ,if you haven’t already taken it.

If you are following the NHS plan please check your BMI on the NHS site and obtain the correct amount of calories for you.

The Daily Diary and the Weekly Weigh ins are very good places to begin. You will find the DD and WI in the Pinned Posts

I find the Daily Diary a very good place to share my plans and get inspiration from other members, too. Once the day’s food is written down I’m far more likely to stay on track.

The key to success is participation, we are all on the same journey.

If you can’t find something just shout, there’s usually someone about I hope to “see” you around, Good Luck.🍀😉

Hi and welcome, Honeystar, if you feel you are drinking too much, we have a Drink Less Club and the new thread should be posted today for April.

My partner left me a year ago after 20 years - spent my whole adult life with him. I joined the group on Monday & it’s the best thing I could ever have done. Rather than ruminating on it & comfort eating, I’m starting to reclaim my life & realise that I deserve to be happy & healthy. The lovely people on here are a great support. Best of luck & be kind to yourself x
