Fat and fed up

[NumberNineteen]

I am new to Mumsnet and I've read a lot of the threads recently. People seem on the whole articulate and interested but I still have a vague lurking sort of sense that I'm a new girl at school and don't get the in jokes and don't know the etiquette etc.
Anyway. I am a mother of one (son), a lovely boy, light of my life, separated (soon divorced) from husband, still friends with him, have gorgeous new boyfriend / partner, am good at job, have fab family, etc etc. But I am 5 foot 2 and fourteen stone and hate my body and CANNOT shift the weight. I no longer go into shops like Oasis and TopShop because I know the clothes won't fit. I look horrible dressed by M&S, wear vile black all the time, coloured up by chunky coloured jewellery and am turning into vile vile overjolly redcheeked sweaty browed fat woman.

I am 34 and have a pleasant face. In the olden days I used to be ok looking.

I am miserable.

I don't mean to be a complete saddo but I am really looking for advice.

Come and say hello to us on the BigMoFos threads. We all have significant amounts to lose, and the threads have been tremendously supportive. Most of us have real issues with food and weight, which we are trying to work through with the support of the others on the thread.

Hello, welcome to mumsnet, you're not alone with a lot of those feelings! There are loads of weight loss threads, do join one. The etiquette is post if you want to, don't get offended if you don't get personally replied to always, keep going, enjoy!

But I don't have a pleasent face lol

Hello, I am new too. Just read your thread and had to respond. I put on 5 stone with my baby boy now 1. after he was born counld not face diet, too tired and down. Got to 6 months old and I could not bare to look in the mirror let alone get on the scales but was so down about it and sick of not being able to fit into anything.

Joined weightwatchers online, best thing ever, 6 months later lost 4 stone. one more stone to go and I will be pre-pregnancy. Fitting into most of my clothes now, fab feeling.

Good luck XXX
