I am fat. I put on heaps of weight (7st) while I was pg and lost it all by the time my twins were 1. They are now nearly 2 and I have put on 2 stone in the past year and it is still going on at the rate of about 2 lb a week.
I have recently started a hugely stressful job. We are also moving house and have builders in the new house. Since April (when I started the job) I've put on 1 1/2 st of the 2 st total. I have also recently started a new drug to control my arthritis. Drug is working brilliantly, one of the side effects is increased appetite. I have also been told I am 'insulin resistant' - this is sometimes the precursor to diabetes.
I now weigh 15 1/2 st and am miserable and so disappointed with myself. I had previously got down to 11 st something with Slimming World and had told myself I would never be fat again . I can't go to SW at the moment as with the move, the twins and the job my life doesn't have any space in it at all. I walk with the boys in the buggy/out of the buggy at the weekend but apart from that get n exercise although I am on my feet all day.
I have tried and tried to control my eating. I feel hungry almost all the time. I now it can't be real hunger, but I cannot control the urge to eat. I crave carbs mostly.
Have you wise ladies got any ideas to help me out. I need to stop the weight going on and lose 3 stone.
Many thanks for reading.
