I'm so upset! Families!!!! Arghhhhh

[craftyknickers]

I have a bit of a weight issue, I suffer from anxiety and depression and my eating follows my moods.

I managed to loose some weight and I was doing really well, but with the cold weather I have no motivation to walk anywhere and I feel like eating everything in sight!!

My grandmother (who I recently had to move in with) does slimming world and we did it together, I didn't enjoy it so stopped.

She asked me what I was doing about the 'diet' and said 'I think you should go back on it as your putting on weight' in the most disgusted voice possible.

I'm not fat I'm a size 14 and do need to lose weight but I'm not fat. I want to lose weight so badly but people depressing me like this doesn't help.


It's long and ranty I apologise, I'm just upset and can't talk to anyone as I feel they will think I'm stupid.

I'm with you on this one, 'her method ain't your method'- simple as that, comments like that cut deep and I'm sorry you had to experience that.
Have you tried Over Eaters Anon, I'm only suggesting because tackling my odd relationship with food from the inside out has been the only way I've managed to get my self out of food addiction.
Im not suggesting that's what's going on for you- I just wish someone had told me about this approach long ago.
Good luck

WHY Are you not happy with your weight?Size 14,that's slim in my book! Why do you need to lose weight?Because others say so or you want to?Well sod them!

[JingleBelleDameSansMerci]

You know, eating a teeny bit less and exercising a little bit more will do you more good than dieting BUT size 14 is NOT FAT. Sorry for the shouting but it just isn't.

Perhaps granny has an issue with accepting you just as you are...
and it might not be about you or your weight...the weight may be just an easy target.

I need to lose 30 pounds/2 stone but by standards over here across the pond, I don't consider myself fat per se, just a little over weight (sz 16). I am working on it. Try looking at the Sparkpeople website.

Thanks for the tip on Overeaters Anon, NTBGA.

Yes, blimey, OP a 14 is slim.

My sister has the same problem regarding moods/stress and eating. She has tried squillions of diets that have never worked.

She recently went to the doctors again due to various ailments that would either be controlled better or alleviated all together if she lost weight. Poors sister even had an embolism.

The doctor has now recommended she try hypnosis and has given her a contact who's work he has seen and is impressed with.

She needs to change her mindset like most overweight people do.
