To just accept I'll always be fat!

[BulkyBody]

So been working out 4/5 days a week for the last 3 months. 40+ minutes hard cardio, 45 minutes weight training and then 30/40 mins swimming. In the days I don't train, I try to incorporate at least 30 minutes brisk walking. I have overhauled my diet so fruit for breakfast and omelette for lunch instead of toast, cereal and sandwiches.

I deliberately did not weigh myself until 3 months was up today and I have lost a grand total of 4lb , BUT I am now fitting into a size 16 down from 20 although I don't think I look much different in the mirror so not sure how that has worked .

I am still over 17 stone with swollen ankles!

The exercise is taking up so much time, I can't keep it up for much longer as other stuff is getting neglected. I will continue but maybe only 2/3 times a week as my body does feel better but I just feel like 'fuck it', I want to eat toast with tonnes of butter'!

I have hypothyroidism too.

AIBU to just give up?

I think you need to look at your diet too - you say fruit and omelette from breakfast/lunch but then you're also eating two snacks and a big evening meal too.

Food has a lot more calories in it than we think! The best way I find to lose weight is to fill up on raw veggies - carrots, peppers, tomatoes, cucumber - filling but barely any calories so you can eat much more without putting on weight.
