I'm going to be starting a week early again, so i will be back tomorrow with my dreaded starting weight. Honestly, i think i'm back up to (if not beyond) starting weight again, just so bloody frustrated with it all :(

What's going wrong for you, Beyond? Anything we can help you with?

BeyondTellsEveryoneRealFacts · 08/05/2016 12:58

I just got back off holiday, that wont have helped. But apart from that, its a great big list of things. I know how much better my ibs is on lc, i know i will lose the weight on it, and i know how to do it. But my willpower is shite, my meds lead to what i can only describe as morning sickness - i feel nauseas until i eat, constantly. And thats without knowing if there is any "real" side-effect-weight-gain rather than just ill-and-crap-weight-gain.

I'm tall and have always been active, so i am still (a few years in to my disability becoming so severe) adjusting to not being able to eat shitloads of food as i burn it off. Seriously, i think my tdee has halved!! Even medicated for depression i comfort eat, having had control issues with food forever. It used to go the other way, i find myself half-wishing my brain would make me not eat again, then i get stressed at myself for it and make a mug cake Angry

DH is my carer and preps all food. He is great, but when he does something slightly wrong lc wise, i feel like a right bitch.

Grr, what an irritating post. I am annoyed at myself (though eating lunch so can resist baking!!)
I WILL do it. Its just taking a few false starts.
