Not sure whether I am alone on this. But MN has taught me I rarely am with anything so...
I am 42. 2 DCs (8 and 5). Divorced. Work full time. Have boyfriend but he doesn't live locally and isn't around in the week.
Weigh too much. Don't know how much. Probably about a stone.
It doesn't matter what I do - 5:2, calorie counting, ADF, vegan diet - I just can't stick to it because fundamentally I don't eat properly. I will for a short period of time prepare myself balanced meals. Then after a week or two I go back to eating shit again. I won't cook for myself. Ever really.
When I have the kids (share residence with exH) I cook for them. But in the week it is a rush job due to their activities. I don't like meat so won't eat the stuff I cook them. And anyway it is too early. So when they are in bed I eat crap. And drink wine.
But fundamentally I have never eaten properly. Had anorexia as teen. Think it stems from that.
Obviously I eat too much crap as am too heavy. Need to lose weight as will also make me feel happier. But how? I haven't ever tried ww or sw but no point as I won't prepare myself healthy food. I don't like meat so lo carbing is no good.
How do I lose weight when I just won't prepare food for myself? And will just resort to bread and crisps (and wine) when the kids are in bed. I need a lifestyle change with regards to eating. But how do I change this about myself?
Any ideas anyone?
