Saw pics from a wedding I went to this weekend - I thought I looked nice at the time but I am so much bigger than I thought I was 
Just had a big cry - DH tries to be so supportive but doesn't really get it. He cycles 10 miles a day, runs marathons & is super fit. I am relatively fit (ran a half marathon in March) but just cannot lose the weight. Nope, sadly it's not all muscle!!
I don't want to be this anymore. It's tiring. And so boring. I've had enough. I've been trying to lose weight & feeling fat for 30 years...
13st 8 and I've been this for 3 years. 5ft 5 so I know I need to lose to be healthy. I'm acutely aware of BMI and where I am. My DM is Type 2 diabetic & im terrified of that being me in a few yrs.
I actually eat very sensibly (I think) but just feel lost. In that time I've tried WW (lost a fair bit but so bloody miserable) SW (lost a few lbs, that was about it) & now have been low carbing for a month & love it. Feel much better, less bloated but haven't lost an oz. Feel good but demoralised.
Where do I go now? I'm 40 in a few weeks. It's getting harder so I feel like I need to tackle this properly now. My kindle has every plan / diet book on the market so no wonder I just feel so bloody confused!!
Am I alone? Anyone else? I feel that this is a crossroads and I need to do something to stop feeling shit about myself. It's been 25+ yrs of feeling crap (even as a teen - how I wish I could shake my 16 yr old self and tell her how gorgeous she actually was!!)
Sorry, that has all been a bit self pitying. I am a pretty feisty woman in most areas of my life. I work ridiculous hours but am pretty good at sorting things. I just can't sort myself. Where do I go now?
