Kind of what the title says.
I've even name-changed for these fat posts, because I think people will judge me for my weight. I'm 5'4" and weigh 16 stone 6 lb. I'm 33 and have one DD who is 3. I'm a single mum.
I've been this heavy once before and got it down to 13 stone again before having DD. I maintained the weight over my pregnancy and for a year after, but have put on 3+ stone in the last two years since starting work, mostly due to binge eating.
I don't think I'll ever be a 'normal' BMI but I would really like to get out of the obese category and down into 'overweight'. I'd be completely delighted if I could get to 12 stone 6.
But I need to sort out my whole head space really. Why do I do this to myself? I buy awful things and eat them in huge quantities. Why am I self-sabotaging? (Interestingly I notice myself doing this when it comes to procrastinating on important personal admin too).
I do notice that it happens particularly when I am working full-time in roles that are very intensive (or even just full-time now, which on top of being a mum and doing all the drop offs, pick ups, cooking, admin and keeping house clean feels like a lot).
I don't really know what I'm asking. I guess it just feels good to get it all out and say it. I need to make a change, but as well as changing the symptom (overeating or eating unhealthy things) I feel like there are some underlying causes I need to tackle too.
