I'm 5ft11 and weight about 13.5 stone, size 14.
Before my son was born I was a lot slimmer, roughly about 11 stone, size 10.
Life seems so much these days, I lack all motivation to change anything but I am so fed up with how I look. I hate every picture of me. I'm not absolutely huge because I'm tall I do alright pulling it off but to myself I just know how different I look now and I hate it.
I feel like I have no time. Im self employed in a fast paced business often working 6 days weeks when childcare allows. I try and eat well during the day and actually often succeed but it usually comes undone when I finally sit down at 9pm after fighting all evening with a sleep refusing toddler and decide fuck it and have chocolate / crisps etc..
My week looks like wake at 6:30, sort toddler, drop him off at nursery, get to work for 8, leave at half 5, pick toddler up, home, bath, bed, fight for over an hour with toddler to go sleep, finally sit down to have my own tea at maybe 8pm and the cycle goes on.
I used to love walking but now I have no time. Weekends are spent with DC who obviously can't walk far so it's almost useless in terms of fitness.
I have no time to go to the gym, nursery and work are too far to walk there and back. I'm absolutely knackered all the time.
Since hitting 30 I feel like weight doesn't fall off anymore just by eating well for a few weeks. In my twenties I never really bothered with exercise either aside from more walking before DS was born but my weight maintained pretty well just through food. Now I might lose a pound if that by calorie counting for a week or two and with stress and lack of sleep I lose motivation to carry it on really quickly.
How are people doing this? I'm seeing people bounce back to a size 10 after giving birth a month ago and here's me 3 years in feeling like I can't shift even a few pounds.
I'm so sick of it. I even applied for the jabs through the pharmacy but BMI is not high enough.
