Fucking Hell I feel disgusting

[sadieissadie]

Fuck I'm so fed up with being fat. I look and feel disgusting. Does anybody else feel this way? It's time for me to take control.

Today I am starting my 'new me' regime. I've literally had enough of looking like this. Nothing fits me. I look a mess, a fat mess.

So I may have had a pre diet dominos last night but well happy this morning as scales say 11st13.8 so I've broken into the next stone bracket!

Challenge is to keep it that way til Sunday!

If you are thirsty and carrying 2 drinks but then you spill one you don't need to throw the other one away too, think of diets/days of a diet like that if you cock up you still have another day to sort it out. But if you throw away the second drink you will be thirsty..if u carry on off plan you will still be unhappy with yourself. That's how I deal with blips so I don't blow it out of proportion and think fuck it I'm stuffing my face.

Good morning all and welcome to the new girls.

Today's plan is to get a grip on my water intake and to stop drinking Diet Coke. I have just done an online food shop and not a single bit of naughtiness went into my basket.

I am really looking forward to shifting some weight. It is so depressing every morning only having a choice of one pair of jeans or one dress that fits. I refuse to buy larger size clothes and this leaves me with nothing to wear, but I do have a wardrobe full of clothes that are too small for me, but that is going to change!

Let's make today a good day where we all behave ourselves with the food intake and stay away from the junk and Diet Coke.

Does anybody else find that since you have put on weight you give much less of a fuck what you look like? I was the girl that would have a full face of slap and bouncy blow dry everyday. I no longer bother to paint my nails, wear jewellery or perfume. I really want to start making an effort with myself again, I feel so rubbish about my appearance.

Anyway, enough of me me me.

Let's be good today

I feel exactly the same @sadieissadie I don't make any effort at all now days, I also have a wardrobe full of clothes I can't wear as they are too small...I can't wait to lose weight and fit in them as I had more money when I was slimmer so my clothes were so much nicer!! Now it's all cheap shit as I don't want to spend money on big sizes.

Good luck for today everyone

Yep, I'm the same sadie.

I make fuck all effort as I have no nice clothes so just don't bother.

Got my nails done yesterday as a bit of a boost and it's nice but I still want to eat a metric fuck tonne of chocolate... Meh!

Hope everyone has a fab day!

I have booked a haircut for tomorrow. Haven't had one in two years. I'm so fed up with just washing my hair and putting it up in a messy bun. Tomorrow I will have princess hair!

I do think making a general effort with self-care (whatever works for you - for me it's looking nice and great handbags!) helps with the overall "meh" feeling. So enjoy the haircut Sadie.

It's my day off today so I've walked to the gym for clubbercise and then walked home. 12k steps not inc the class. However I've just eaten quite a lot and had a bath some I got home - need to motivate myself to get some work done! Putting clothes on will help....

I really need to make more effort, I caught sight of myself in a mirror in boots and wondered who the tired old woman was.And then I saw it was me and I looked old and fat. I think I need to start a morning make up routine, my nails need doing, I do my own gels but I haven't since Christmas. My hair could do with a cut and colour but I need to save up for that. So, right now I will try and get this 2 stone off and make an effort to dry and style my hair and do some make up. It's a start!

Just coming on here for a moan

I'm sitting in the drs waiting and I've got my fat jeans on and a hoodie that's too small. I can see my fat fucking belly hanging right over my jeans and I'm honestly ready to launch myself out the drs window and be done with it! I'm so uncomfortable it's horrid!

And breathe. I know I'm working on it but holy crap being fat and uncomfortable sucks

Storm that's pretty much how I feel most of the time. You are right it's horrid.

At least we are trying to do something about it and not to just accept how awful we look. We can do this my friend.

Can I join please? I completely feel horrible at the moment. Had gestational diabetes last year which has been a reality check for me, I must lose weight and tone up. I realised the other day that I can't even bring myself to try on clothes in shops or go for a haircut because it would mean looking in the mirror.
Baby is now 7 months old, I'm not having any more so it's time to sort myself out. Started couch to 5k last week and have seriously cut carbs.
Thinking about getting scales to further motivate myself. 11st 13 when I checked at my in laws' a few weeks ago!

Can I join you? In the same boat. 8 weeks pp & 12 stone 7. Have two stone to get off. I feel horrible & look like I have a tiny head on a huge body.

Hello zoo, welcome. 8 weeks pp is still very early days, be gentle on yourself.

Well...first can I say a big thank you for all the kind words of support :) sometimes I don't know what comes over me, I do really well, then it's as if the fat alien takes over my body and I go berserk...anyway, I have done ok today, back on the wagon making healthier choices again. I decided I wasn't going to try to cut back on today's food, sometimes that just makes me hungrier and off I go again, so all is well in my world again, calmer and back in control. I am the same as everyone else, lots of lovely clothes in my wardrobe that are too tight or don't fit, i'll be damned if I'll buy anymore, so just persevering until they fit again. I have also decided that even if my body is not in shape yet, I will treat it well, so am practicing good skincare , moisturising my body every day, and keeping my hair and nails looking good...the rest will follow...then I will be lush :)

Me too 🙋🏻‍♀️
I'm sick of the way I look. I'm now 15 weeks PP and I need to stop using the excuse 'I just had a baby' I had my baby 3 months ago 🤦🏻‍♀️ I feel like an actual potato

Evening gang - a quick hello as have been in London all day and am nipping back out to see a friend in hospital. ☹

Not a disastrous day all things considered (no wine which I am normally gagging for after a long day) but I did have an aero on the train home.

Will run in the morning and catch up on posts properly...

👍

Just cut my own hair as I was inspired to perform some self-care by the thread... er, that didn't go to plan so a trip to the hairdressers is on the cards. Feeling really depressed that we have a heat wave coming up so can't hide my body in jeans & baggy tops.

Zoo you cut your own hair? That was brave of you.

I've done a couple of things to make myself feel better since my last post.
Like a couple of pp, I've styled my hair rather than just my usual limp ponytail and upped my water intake.
Meal planning today so I can tackle the diet and the calorie intake.
Really want to do a couple of exercise classes at the local leisure centre but feeling a bit self conscious about that at the moment. Kick up the arse needed for that.

I'm with you 100% I cant stand to look in the mirror.

Man I'm shattered, how do u all stop yourself reaching for the shit food? I just want to inhale donuts. (I won't but I want to!)

Morning to everyone just joining!

@SilverLiningSomewhere I can't. This is my problem - the only time I manage not to eat shit is by not having it in the house... but then I have no willpower not to buy shite?! I go to ASDA with good intentions and come out with 2 muffins, a box of maltesars and a lemon cheesecake and devour the whole lot....

Feeling like a total pudding today. I wish I could go back to just knowing when to eat and when to stop. Kids can do it, why can't we?!

Hope everyone has good plans for today & manages to stick to it cause I probably won't

You can do it @stormcloakNord!
I just cannot do calorie controlled, it makes me too grumpy and miserable. So I'm trying low carb high fat which is going OK so far because there are still treats I can have. Whether I actually lose weight remains to be seen!! I'll keep you posted!

Have done run 1 of week 2 of couch to 5k this morning.

I totally share the feeling of dreading sunny days because I can't wear anything without looking like a marshmallow.

Went to the gym this morning, and I came home and had a lovely shower and then carefully blow dried my hair. Feeling a bit better for doing that! Little bits of self-care definitely do make the difference. I might do my nails tonight, but I have to go swimming with my two-year-old in the morning...

How is everyone getting on? Having my tooth out is working wonders for the diet, I'm not even hungry!

I painted my nails clear but sparkly thanks to this thread, stupid how something so little makes a difference!
