Struggling!

[Eternal_Flame]

Hi all,

I've been AWOL from the weigh in thread again recently and I want to explain why.

My weight has been going up and up - I'm 10lbs up just since New Year! I think the regular courses of antibiotics have a lot to do with it, but I've obviously been overeating as well. I've started job hunting and it's very stressful. Several rejections under my belt, including for a job I thought I was perfect for. So the emotional eating has been rife!

With my leg wound still healing, my aim at the moment is to just maintain my current weight. Everything is more difficult at this weight, so I don't want to gain any more, but I don't want to try and lose weight until my leg is further along.

So with everything going on, I can't bring myself to get involved with the weigh in threads and I'm going to say au revoir!

You're a great bunch of people and I hope I'll be welcomed back if I feel better able to join in at a future point. All the best to you all!

Hi Eternal_Flame , I fully understand where you are coming from as I struggle long term with trying to keep weight from creeping back. Stepping back from the weigh in forum may take mental pressure off you, but I would recommend that you keep reading other people’s posts from your daily email update - it keeps you mindful of what we are all trying to do, and you can still be supportive of others. Don’t give up, it was never a short term fight 🙂
