I really need to lose weight

I have lost 5 stone before now, gradually put it on and lost 4 and a half a couple of years ago.

I loved it, I felt great. I wasn't super skinny and never will be (or want to be!) but I looked reasonably normal!! (whatever that is!)

But now a lot of that has crept back on.

I am so down about it, I really don't think I can spend the next 8/9/10 months trying to lose 4 stone. I don't think I have it in me

But I hate myself like this,

You know how it is, the clothes in the wardbrobe stop fitting so I am down to a few pairs of trousers and tops! And I don't even like them.

I don't have much confidence anyway but this weight gain has put it back to zero

I won't even go to places if I will see people that haven't seen me for a while

I really need some inspiration

I was going to go back to WW tomorrow with my Mum but feel so ashamed.

I joined on and off last year, kept having another go. The last time I joined the lady who takes the money made some funny remark about all the forms they have to re fill in for me, all the extra work I make for them

I know she was only joking but I don't think she shoud have said it. The lady next to her who helps out quickly said "Oh at least she is back, that all that matters"

which was nice of her!!

Sorry for waffling on!!!

If I lost weight through typing/talking I would be a size 10

Oh anniebear, you are excellent for having lost so much weight in the past! I wish I had your will power! Well done on that, and it proves one thing, you can do it again!

For inspiration, could you get a photograph of yourself when you were thinner / smaller whatever the correct term is, and put it on the fridge / cupboard door. Then next time you reach for the bicci's you can think "no, I want to be like that again!"

I'm trying that Special K diet at the moment.

I agree with the typing yourself thin, I'd easily be a size 10!! That did make me laugh.

Maybe have a fresh start with a different ww group or another club eg slimming world.

You've done it before and you can do it again .

I've lost 7 stone in 18 months doing the GI Diet - am sending positive weight loss vibes your way

Thanks

One of my main probs is comfort eating. As soon as I am in on my own I think "oh what can I eat"?!!

Why oh why can't anyone sell will power in bottles

And well done Puff for losing that much weight, you must be so proud of your self

I know what you mean about comfort eating. When I get the two DS's down to bed I often reward myself with food! DOH!

I think its amazing 7 stone in 18 month, I've just ben googling the GI diet to see what it entails.

I am, but really identify with everything in your first post. Try to take it in 7lb stages and not look at the overall amount you want to lose. Once I did this (I burst into tears every time I thought of needing to lose 8 stone) it felt easier.

Thnaks so much

Really do need to rejoin WW tomorrow

Just worried aout the lady making some comment again!!

I did it, I went

Think the scales broke but at least I went

well done - you have made a start

anniebear - I know where you are coming from. I went back to Slimming World tonight as I was feeling exactly like you. I decided I had to join a group as I definitely didn't have the willpower to do it alone.
That comment you were given at WW was totally out of order and there is no way they should say something like that.
Have you considered another weight loss plan? Slimming World is fab - I did it about a year ago and lost nearly two stone. Unfortunately I stopped going and the pounds piled on again. I've made loads of friends at this group too. They don't make you feel uncomfortable or guilty in anyway at all.
Good luck with whatever you choose. x

I have done SW but am on so many points at WW that it doesn't make much difference

My Mum is going to the WW group so at least i have some one to go with and I did lose 65lb on WW.

Don't know how!!!!
