dancing on a night out. I look like my mother, saggy boobs, rolls of fat, thick arms and swollen fat features on my face, red sweaty and 8 times the size if the others in the pictures. Is this me? I cant stop crying. I go out thinking I look all right and this is the reality? Im only 30, I look so worn and eavy in these pictures

I need to lose weight but I can barely exercise as I have mobility issues(from a young age not weight) and I am a ridiculously fussy eater, no veg or rice or pasta fish or most meat just chicken an potatoes and soup really. Has anyone any advice?Im willing to work hard for the loss, maybe the picture is my wake up call my trigger whatever, I just cant seem to do it.

How can a grown adult be a fussy eater? that's just an excuse imo.

I think that maybe seeing the photo has brought home that you need to sort your diet and your weight out. I think fussy eating is an excuse too, you have to vary your diet and explore other alternatives.
Sorry to be brutal but If you can dance on a night out you can find a gentle form of exercise that will help with your weight loss, such as walking. But you have to want to do it to make yourself healthier. Try things that you think you don't like, or try cooking them a different way. You'll get there if you're determined. How about joining a slimming group and that'll give you support along the way.

Good luck, you can do it.

There are some threads on here with people who are wanting to lose weight too, you should have a look at some of them for ideas.

I don't think the lack of rice/pasta/meat/fish is a problem, but I think would be hard to loose weight without vegetables because otherwise you are going to need to manage on tiny portions of chicken and potatoes. Vegetables are a dieters best friend as they help you to fill up without added much in the way of calories (either fat or carbs).

I agree, sign up with WW or SW and stick with it.

Fussy eating is for toddlers, not adults.
