I am 34. 5ft6 and nearly 12 stone. I am officially overweight. No children yet (we’re trying).
I have only ever successfully dieted once. I was 22 and still living at home. Main meals mostly cooked for me. That was following old style weight watchers. I found it tough and was hungry often but managed to keep the weight off over the years. Up until about 5 years ago where it has slowly crept back on. My weight was usually about 9.5 - 10 stone and I felt comfortable.
I have been with my partner for 3 years. This is when I have gained most of my weight. I keep trying slimming world. I keep giving up and going back to old (really bad) habits. The longest I stuck to it was 3 weeks. I lost 6lb during this time. My partner has gained weight too but is generally a small build anyway but with good muscle tone. He is also healthy and has always exercised regularly. Unlike me.
I have a very physical job and although I always eat breakfast I often eat lunch late because I don’t make time for it. I then get over hungry and make really poor food choices.
I’m now at the point where I’m really sad about the way I look and feel. My happy weight is about 2 stone lighter than I currently am. I keep trying and losing motivation. I was at a party yesterday and I barely recognise myself in the photos. I didn’t feel good and I certainly do not look good. We only have sex when it’s the right time of the month for conception and it’s mostly because I feel so uncomfortable at the moment.
I have once again convinced myself that I will start again tomorrow. Making sure I have all the right foods in and preparing meals in advance. I don’t really know what the point of this post is as I know it has to all come from me. Maybe there are other people reading who feel the same and we can support each other. I’m just feeling really low and annoyed with myself. At the same time I’m trying to like myself and be kind and encouraging to myself.
