To put an almost naked photo of myself on the fridge?

[NapQueen]

Only slightly joking.

Im very short and really quite fat. Clothed I can appear not too bad but remove those clothes and it looks like Jabba the Hutt has set up camp under my bra.

I vaguely hoped that at some point the balance would tip from "meh I dont care enough quite yet" to "ok I need to take action".

I know what to do. Eat less. Move more. I know what a healthy diet is. Less crap fats and white carbs, more protein veg etc. I know I need to do this for my bodys health. I know I need to do this for my kids.

However I am so far down the list of priorities and so so so tired from FT work and two small dcs.

I miss being comfortable. And I miss the waistband of my knickers which has disappeared daily under the Belly since i dont know when.

I hate being fat. And I have tried. And I need to try again. But I am so incredibly shit at it.

Yes I hear you. I lost load if weight a few years ago and it's creeping back up. I'm still way under what I was but I no longer feel good about myself :( I cam do it, I'm just choosing not to for some reason. Chocolate tastes too good.

If that's what it takes, then do it.

For me its carbs. I could happily eat a lasagne and garlic bread every evening. After a lunch of sandwiches and crisps.

My job is sedentary, though I am going to start walking again to work (1hr with half of it uphill).

I wonder if i printed a pic of me from the neck down in underwear and carried it with me like a talisman it may motivate me.

Who the fuck knows. Nowt else worked.

Well we could swap (for some reason sending a naked picture of myself to a random on the interner doesnt bother me)
Then you'd get shock value without potentkal embarrassment value if someone saw - you'd just deny all knowledge.
My knickers don't fit either :(

Do it black and white and cut your head out

Hehe well i may keep that offer in mind.

Dh doesnt care. Or if he does he doesnt say anything. Which is half nice and half not.

I always think to myself "yeah but Im not that fat" which is utter fucking bollocks because I am.

stop it would deffo be a shoulders down shot. I have stretchmarks from two pregnancies and they have a sort of blue hue to them.

Sexy as hell me.

Tbh it has to click for me. I ha e to feel the fear and I have to have the time to exercise. And I'm not there yet :(
Just for the recording am not in the habit of sending naked photos to Internet randoms. Only when they ask nicely.

Lol at denying all knowledge.

'Omg who is that a picture of on your fridge?! The person in underwear? Wtf?!'

'Who? What! How did that get there. I've never seen that person before in my life.'

I lost my purse and they took all my cash and left me this!

Oh here are my people!

Funnily enough I was idly thinking the same about myself this week - and wondering if a photo of me in bra and pants would traumatise the children if I stuck it up all over the house to keep pointing out to myself HOW fat I now am.

I am startled to catch sight of myself in mirrors because when I look down I look ok...a bit overweight, but not bad. And then I look at myself properly and realise I'm actually VERY overweight. My problem is that I was always thin in my youth - and in my head I still am.

I'm really not.

Imagine it falling out at work! Whoops what the heck is that??

How about a photo of yourself when you were slimmer , so it’s a reminder of what to aim for rather than the shock of what you are now.

I’m still in denial and believe that all my clothes have shrunk and I can get rid of the belly with a few sit ups 🤷‍♀️

When I lost weight I was very alarmed to feel some lumps on my sides
They were my hips. Don't worry, I've sorted the problem now.

Why don’t you put a picture of you on your fridge from when you liked what you looked like, as an incentive to get there again? It is difficult, I feel your pain. Remember, 90% of weight loss is in the mind. Good luck

The black and white would cut out the blue lines ! Do it and let me know

My problem is work snacking so the photo is a NO GO

I think all you’d achieve with a ‘fat’ photo is a cycle of self loathing and comforting with food.

It would be much more positive to love your body as it is and therefore want to make it better. I agree with pics of yourself at a weight where you felt comfortable.

It’s a struggle, I know, but it’s not worth shaming yourself.

It really is 90% food and only 10 % exercise. For years I tried to train my way slim but it was only by cutting down the volume of food I was eating that worked in the end. It is annoying but you have to accept that for a couple of weeks (for me it was approximately 2 1/2 weeks) you will feel hungry. You will have an empty feeling and will want to eat more. If you can tough it out and know that it only takes a couple of weeks for your stomach to shrink and get used to a smaller volume of food then you will lose weight. It's a sod but it really does come down to willpower.

I definetly need to feel hunger.

Just had a fleeting "ooo I will make a brew and a bacon sarnie for breakfast" then clicked it is shit like this that is making me look like this.
