Hi all, not posted in this section before but feel I really need support. I have gained 4.5 stone in the last 4 years, taking me from a size 10 up to a size 16. I had my dd 13 months ago and put on 3 stone in pregnancy.
I am so depressed though. It's beginning to take over my life with how much I think about losing weight, but the more depressed I get the more I eat. I constantly snack on days when I'm at home, or if I'm at work I eat healthily all day and then will binge at night. I have a very bad relationship with food and I can't seem to break it. I diet, lose a stone, and then give up and it all piles back on - it's a constant cycle.
I can't tell anybody how I'm feeling because it sounds pathetic. I need to here stories of people who have felt similar to me, that they never thought they could do it but have now managed it. If so, what was the turning point?
I can't explain how much this is affecting me - when I see people I haven't seen in a few months I end up trying to justify why I've put on so much weight because I'm so conscious that they will be thinking it but not actually saying.
Thanks
