Gone over into the obese category

Been to the Drs today about a different matter. Before the appointment, the nurse took my blood pressure etc, all ok. Did the dreaded weigh in and I’m 82 kg, so 12 stone 12. I’m 5’4
I’ve just looked it up and it’s bmi just 30, which says obese.
Feel really low and not sure how this happened.
I feel like people wouldn’t look at me and say ‘Obese’ but maybe they do

I always think the obese category is surprisingly lower than people imagine! It’s ok OP, there is lots you can do if you want to change. Don’t beat yourself up

Feel really low and not sure how this happened.
Presuming you dont have hormonal issues or another diagnosis which can affect weight gain/loss you must try to figure out how it happened to fix it.

Ask yourself what am I eating, how much am I eating, do I know what the right size portion is for me, do I move enough, do I drink enough water, am I consuming lots of hidden calories that I haven't realised I'm consuming? (things like sauces, dips, dressing, people forget how much is in things like that)

It’s so easy for it to creep up :(

Start today, you’ll feel so much better. I’ve downloaded an app called habit share, weigh every day, list all my goals, or, water in awakening, 5 fruit a day, protein for breakfast, no sugar etc etc, whatever your goals are

ive dropped 4 kgs this month and feel fabulous. Up your protein makes the biggest dufference

Such a helpful reply.

op I am obese too. I am trying to lose weight; it’s difficult because I have multiple health issues but all we can do is give it our best shot. If you’re only just in the obese category you can bring this back. ❤️
