I'm a busy mum I work 16 house in a shop that requires standing and working at a busy pace while I'm there at home I never get a chance to sit down for long I'm always on the go I don't always make proper meals maybe 2-3 times a week I always have a side of something meat based veg and mash or chips at a fair sized portion but not massive other times I'd just something quick from the freezer i do enjoy chocolate but don't eat mass amounts and don't eat it every day I take 1 sugar in coffee and non in tea maybe 5-6 cups through out the day I feel for what I do and what I eat I shouldn't be the weight I am my hight is 5"9 I'm somewhere between 18-19st not to sure the scales went Safes ago I'm just so in happy in my self I always try watching what I'm eating and drinking

Do you mean happy or unhappy? I can't tell for sure if you want to lose weight.

I am 5"6 and weigh 17 stone. I have binge eating disorder so I can say honestly that I eat huge amounts at times. I perhaps don't eat much in the day, but once I start bingeing I do, even if it's not daily.

I suppose my question is can you write down what you eat in a typical day and honestly say it's a healthy amount?

If so, there may be an underlying health issue, but this is very rare, and it's even rarer for it to cause an extreme amount of weight gain.

Most people are eating too much.

There are a couple of easy things you can do

1 stop having sugar in your drinks- that alone puts you at 30gms sugar a day which is the maximum for adults (for health.)

2 Stop buying chocs.

You are clearly eating too much and too much of high calorie foods.

Focus on:
plain meat, fish, eggs,
loads of fresh veg
fruit
plain yoghurt

Cut out the chips.

Can you always have some salad leaves in the fridge and something to have with them? A piece of poached salmon? Grilled chicken breast?

I think you need to completely re-educate yourself over what you eat.

Have you seen My Fitness Pal online?
