Before my son was born 3 years ago, I was 9stone. I am 5ft tall.
According to BMI and healthy weight ranges, this was near the top of the range but I was happy and felt slim. Since my son was born I have gained 2 stone. Partly due to age, an underactive thyroid diagnosis and just pure gluttony. We've been on holiday 3 times where a bikini/swimwear have been worn. Whilst I haven't felt great, I also haven't felt hideous. It's just my tummy that I have an issue with.
I have been trying to lose weight for some time and I cant. I'[m not going to blame my illness or anything but I just enjoy life and food.
I have gone from a 10-12 to a 14.
I feel OK in my skin on a day to day basis. Yes, I look back at old photos and wish I was that size again but I don't have the energy or determination to get back down to my ideal size. And I like my food too much!
Th only time I ever feel conscious is in swimwear/underwear. I've learnt to accept who I am.
So, is it ok to give up on that ultimate goal that I now feel isn't achievable?
