Help me sort myself out for 2023'

[mughd]

I'm 46, a stone overweight, probably drink too much do little exercise and have no skincare routine. I have noticed that I look particularly crap at the moment and will look more crap if I don't do something drastic now.

So what can I do to makeover myself. Any recommendations for products/ ideas gratefully received

I bet Even starting to losing that stone and doing dry January will make you feel a bit better. I felt the same at the beginning of December re skin care but knew if I bought lotions and potions they’d just sit there unopened because I’m not used to the routine. So I think I’m going to start simple (any recommendations for dry wrinkly skin let me know).

Also maybe go get your hair done nice and have a mani and pedi might set you off to a good start?

Personally I would start with just drinking a shit tonne of water. You will find that will help massively with the weight loss, and everything in your system will work better and more efficiently by being hydrated.

Next on my list would be a cheap and cheerful body scrub, I like mixing baby oil with literal table salt. I shower first with shower gel i.e. detergent and then follow up with a good scribble all over and I don’t typically need to moisturise.

After a couple of weeks of getting that habit formed, I would then look at nails hair and make up.

I like going to the gym and I do enjoy it, but for me personally there’s little point in exercise in when I’m fat. It makes me feel uncomfortable and self-conscious so I personally I’m going to drop 5 pounds before I hit the gym.
