I don't usually post here but I've read on and off over the months.
I am/was about 3stone overweight (as much as I like to tell myself it's 2stone). I began to lose weight in June/July and had almost 2 stone gone for a holiday in October. I was very good, exercised daily, was jogging almost 5k, eating healthily and felt great. For the first time in a long time my periods became regular.
Then we went on holiday and BANG I blew it and that was it. I started over eating and drinking and basically haven't stopped since (apart from excessive drinking obviously) I've piled all the weight back on, worryingly in that short space of time.
I am so disgusted with myself, I feel so ashamed and upset about it.
I feel and look terrible and whatever it is about my body, my periods have disappeared again. We would like another baby so it's the best motivation to do this once and for all, PERMANENTLY.
I'm not even sure what advice I'm looking for, maybe I'm wondering has anyone been in the same situation of losing and re gaining?
Maybe I lost it too fast, maybe I never developed the right attitude or relationship with the 'diet' - maybe I felt deprived, I don't know.
I'm also aware that it's almost Christmas and not an ideal time to begin this journey but I really feel that if I don't start it today then I will gain and gain even more over Christmas and be even worse about myself in January.
Thanks for reading.
