I'm 33, 5 foot 2 and weight just under 16 stone (fluctuate between 15'11 and 15'13 usually).
I cannot diet. I cannot stop eating, or I can't stop eating the wrong food anyway. I have ADHD and one of the ways it affects me is impulse control (or lack of!) If I know there is something nice to eat, I will eat it, whether I'm hungry or not. I can't just eat one biscuit, I have to finish the whole pack. Or a share bag of chocolate, I'll eat them all. So far today I've eaten 3 weetabix which I have with 0% fat free yogurt, by 10:30 I was hungry and ate a big bar of chocolate (one of those "marvellous creations" ones, so a big one) followed by an entire box of mr kipling Viennese whirls. Then for lunch left over roast dinner. It's now 5:30 and I've not eaten anything else yet but will be having pizza. I'm disgusting. I can't not eat. I live on my own. There is nobody to stop me. Saying don't buy the stuff doesn't help as the co op is literally 2 minutes walk away.
I live on my own in a tiny flat. My kitchen is tiny with very little work space, so batch cooking is almost impossible.. I rarely ever cook a proper meal. Say I've got 2 gammon steaks in, which should be 2 meals, I'll just eat those on their own without doing anything to go with it.
I suffer with depression and everything is too much effort, chronic sciatica (so my back constantly hurts).
However I do have a reason to lose weight. I want a baby. I'm desperate. I'm single (and asexual) but plan to go down the donor route. So why can't I motivate myself to lose weight?
