I weigh 25 stone and don't know what to do

[delilabell]

I don't know how this has happened. We'll I do its cos in eating ridiculous amount of food.
I want to get back to size 22 /24 . I felt comfortable and confident. I now am size 28/30 and I'm disgusted in myself. I'm addicted to sugar I know I am so instart to think about cutting all sugar but them I think I don't want to because I love chocolate. But thats the addiction isn't it? I'm just looking in tje mirror at myself and I look hideous. I joined ww last week (previously was a part of it and lost 5 stone ) but its changed so I wimped out amd cancelled it. I did slimming World once and lost a stone but I got so obsessive that I had to stop for my mental health.
My mental health isn't great. I obsess about things. So if I am losing weight I obsess every hour about how much ill have lost. Dividing the amount I want to lose over the weeks I want to over and over in my head. And then I become so obsessed I have to stop.
I just don't know what to do about it. Any help would be most appreciated please.

Feeling quite low tonight as I've been doing this for nearly a week and look no different haha.
I've just realised this is advice to follow myself, as I've just got my head back in a good space for losing weight, but take photos. In undies or leggings and a t-shirt or something. Having done this all before I remember it taking a while to show when I started to lose the weight, but when I see pics at different stages it does show. I think it'll help with motivation if you can see the progress.
This internet stranger has faith in you!

@PinkArt thank you

Hi everyone, just an update for myself as much as anything. I'm still going. As I thought would happen I've got a hit obsessed with the food. My wonderful friend said that ive got to remember that anything is an improvement on what i was eating before (when i was stressing I'd had half a sweet potatoes in my lunch) and I have added so much fruit and veg to my diet. I'm also up to walking 7000 steps a day. In trying so so hard but I know it's going to be a long struggle and that makes me want to cry at times!

@delilabell Well done!! You sound like you're on a great path, lots of fruit and veg added and upping your steps, that's all positive! Your friend sounds great and it's very true what she said. It's hard so be sure you celebrate yourself along the way, do some nice things for yourself, self care things that make you feel good. I am currently starting on a bit of a weight loss journey myself and am happy to buddy with you if you'd like. We can cheer each other on!

Really well done! I found it helped to put away the scales and the tape measure (cold judgemental things) and focus on how I felt physically and emotionally, how my clothes fitted and felt, how my eyes and skin were looking and my digestion was feeling.

@delilabell How are you getting on with everything?

@startingover37 thank you so much for asking. Its going well. I'm into week 5. Up to 6000 steps a day. Eating really well. No evidence as far as I can see but feel it will cone.
The second half of this week has been pretty awful food wise cos of meals out but I know it's part 9f life.

@delilabell Sounds like you are doing really well, delighted for you! Don't mind the bumps in the road along the way, as you said, that's life! Well done

You are bloody amazing. I hope you realise that.

A while ago you were talking about your love for chocolate being an addiction.
In case you didn't realise there are group called Overeaters Anonymous. They follow a 12-step program based on Alcoholics Anonymous.

Anyway. Keep on doing what you're doing and remember my first sentence 😊
