I had a HA in 2017 and lost 4st afterwards. Unfortunately I’ve put most of it back on even though I vowed I wouldn’t. I know what to do to get the weight off and am usually ‘good’ for about 6 weeks, think I’ve conquered the bingeing then spectacularly fall off the wagon! Added to that I then start worrying about heart health and everything goes pear shaped - including me! Not sure if I’ve posted in the right place but any encouraging words would be welcome. Thanks for reading.

Hey Jo, don't beat yourself up about it. You're doing great.

You tried losing weight before and you did. Success!!

Job well done.

Most of us flip flop up and down the weighing scales.

I would go back to what I did to shed that crazy amount of weight in 2017 as it clearly worked . Will power is the key . I would ask your GP for a programme of diet and exercise . If you are in the UK then check out something called the PARIS scheme which helps with rehab. It was my initial motivation as briefly it is access to a person who will chat , work out a person exercise programme via a heavily discounted gym membership for 6, 12 to 18 months then you are on your own . Sessions of focused exercise which progresses as you do but no booked appointments unless you want them as coach is normally around 2/3 days a week working generally at the venue .I had to be answerable to someone but needed help to carefully get better . Ask your GP to refer you .
