Big fat failure

[Clumsybashful]

This is how I described myself to my DH earlier. He said, I was absolutely not, that I was a great mum and an amazing person. This is lovely but I felt like he was closing me down before I could elaborate.

I am becoming more overweight which I think is making me unwell. I struggle without recognition at work as I really am trying hard balancing a full time job and 2 year old. I don't have many friends and often feel quite lonely. I don't want to wallow, I really want to work through it.

I'd appreciate some encouraging words and tips for when you're feeling a bit hopeless x

Do something nice for yourself each day and try and compliment yourself at least once a day.

If you want to try and lose some weight in order to help YOU feel better then consider Weight Watchers ( no need to attend weigh ins as you can get digital only membership and you choose when to weigh yourself). It’s not like a diet where you have to deny yourself, it’s just about encouraging you to eat healthier foods. It sounds like an advert but honestly it has been life changing for me.

Maybe when you start to feel better about yourself in one way then it might impact on the other, for example, looking for a new job of you feel you aren’t getting the recognition you deserve.

Encouraging words: Fitbit, 750, calorie and deficit.

Very sustainable and works well with zero hassle. Don't make my mistake and let your weight creep up until its 4 stone you're dealing with! Also, I find when I'm fit I can deal with work, kids etc better and I'm more confident therefore more noticeable in terms of projects and achievement 😉
