I'm really fucking fat :( If you are too, what's your plan?

[MummyPigsBigTummie]

Last year I was gutted at being 13st.

I'm now 17st 2lbs.

I've done nothing but emotionally eat all year, fuelled by depression and anxiety. To the point where I've become mildly agoraphobic.

This has got to be the year I turn my life and poor eating habits around.

I don't know where to start.

I know the title is quite harsh but I've been telling myself it's not so bad.

But it is.

I'm fat. Very fat. And I need to correct it.

Lol I wish I was 17st 😔 I have slowly reached nearer the 21 st mark... cant believe I habe just written it 🙈.
I am on it from Jan 1st. First target for me is the diet coke.

Well i find that the more i try to lose weight the bigger i get so i have given up and hope my weight will settle once i am not feeling guilty about eating anything naughty . Guilt leads to binging which leads to more dieting followed by yet another binge and i am sick of it now.
No help to you but I am going to stop hating myself and labelling food as good or bad and get on with living !

I can't not tackle it. That's what I did this year.

Ice struggled with my weight since 20 But I've always hovered around 13/14st through battling.

This year I ignored it and got 17.

I'm over 17 st and disgusted with myself. New years day I am starting my fitness pal calorie counting and exercise 5 times a week.

Well I hope you find the answers . I really do. It is no fun struggling with food all the time . Good luck hon. X

I was 17 stone 6lb last January and joined slimming world. I've very slowly lost 2.5 stone so am 14 stone 13lbs now - with 3 stone to go! I'm a bit disappointed I didn't lose more in a year, but pleased I've kept off what I have lost.

The slower you lose it, hopefully the longer it stays off.

I would definitely recommend Slimming world, but the group leader has to be right for you - so if you go and you don't like it, try another group until you click with the leader. The one I go to now is brilliant and I have faith for the first time in my life (at the age of 49!) that I can do it!

It's so hard- but the best thing is you're wanting to do something about it. I saw it as wanting to protect my health, rather than wanting to look better - doing it for my family and to be here with them for as long as possible.

Good luck!

I don't k ow if I can do slimming world. My anxiety is very much social based and I don't know if I will be able to stick at the meetings because of that.

They do an online only version, which might be worth looking at? Or sometimes I just go to get weighed and don't stay to group. It's tricky- I think going and staying definitely helps me, but I can understand that would be difficult for you. For me, the routine of going and knowing I'm going to be weighed really helps me break the pattern of eating badly!

I'm 13st 7lbs and given I'm only 5ft 2, that makes me really bloody fat. A wobbly size 16 all over.

I'm going to be calorie counting and exercising. Aiming for 1500 cals a day, tracking using MFP.

I know Slimming World works, but it isn't great for me mentally or for encouraging a healthy relationship with food.

I'm similar weight etc to @GinaLinetti99. I need to do something too but I think putting myself on a diet won't be sustainable. I'm going to try to persuade myself to make better choices, one meal/snack/drink at a time

I'm 17st something too. Not weighed myself for a few weeks now so don't know exactly.
I'm weighing in on Weds 2nd when I'm back to work and going to start MFP and moving more for starters.
It'll probably be walking at first and I'd like to get back into swimming when I'm smaller and can bare to be seen in a swimming costume again.

Hi OP

Don't be disgusted with yourself. Emotional Eating is a way of self medicating. You must have been doing it for a reason. Be kind to yourself.

If you want, I'll join you. I really need to lose weight this year.
I'm planning on focusing on health not weight loss. My aims are to choose really good food that is nourishing and mood-lifting, fresh not processed.

I'm off the booze from Jan 1st and off refined sugar and carbs too.
Also planning on regular fitness. The quickest way to lose weight is by doing resistance training, weight lifting and HIIT, so I'll do some of that. You can buy a good 8kg dumbell online for a few pounds.

I'm restarting C25K and have friends who will swim and do yoga once a week.

If you are agoraphobic, you could begin with online workouts. Yoga with Adrienne is free. So are lots of Jessamyn Stanley workouts. She's easily 17 stone (or has been) and an amazing yoga teacher - inspirational.

I'm going to get back into doing kettlebell workouts with Bodyfit by Amy (also free online.)
I'll keep you company on here if you like.

Also 5’2” and currently 11st 13.75lb. Planning on doing old WW pro points at home with ultimate food value diary. I’ve lost just about 2st, have 2 and a half st to go 😩

I was closer to 11 st than 12 st at the begging of December 😪

I want a st off in the next 5 weeks for DC2’s christening.

I’m 5’ 8” and last time I weighed myself I was 16 stone, but over Christmas I’ve definitely put weight on. My jeans are too tight now.

I’m 31, haven’t had sex with my partner for over 2 years, have a 2.5 year old and am pretty disgusted with myself.

I’ve set myself a target now to lose half a stone in six weeks. I’ve got a holiday on the first week of June with my whole family - DP, DS, DM, DB, his baby and his fiancé. My niece is 3 months old and my SIL is already lighter than when she got pregnant and about 5 foot, so I desperately want to lose two stone before I go on holiday with them.

I’m setting myself a target of getting over 30 active minutes five times a day and have downloaded MFP again. It gave me a goal of 1420 calories a day and I’m also aiming for 7/8 portions of fruit and veg a day.

Im exactly the same mummypigsbigtummy
17 and a half stone before Christmas and with the amount Ive shoved down my pie hole over Christmas probably looking at 18 stone.
My knees hurt, im wheezy, snore like a pig and feel dreadful in myself.
I have decided to tackle this self inflicted mess on the 2nd of January as I usually do a roast dinner on New years day so Wednesday 2nd is D Day.
I am planning to walk more (I am lazy and drive everywhere) and swim twice a week (I like swimming and it shouldn't be too painful)
Crisps, chocolate, biscuits and sweets are to be banished and fruit and healthy snacks eaten instead.
My first weigh in is Wednesday morning when I get up and then I must stay focused on losing the weight. If anyone can add suggestions to my plan that would be fantastic. Come on ladies we don't need to be fat fuckers, lets do this.

I'm in the same boat... 17st 7lb - weirdly lost a few over Christmas.

A few years back I was doing amazingly on 5:2 and lost 4 stone - some holidays / personal stuff happened and I just lost it... I've always been an emotional eater too so I know where you are coming from.

2019 I'm getting back into it. Having got my Dsis into fasting this year, she is encouraging me to get back into it. So - 2nd Jan, first FD.... I'm also planning on doing some more mindfulness stuff / meditation to help with the emotional eating.

For anyone interested, the 52 threads on here were a godsend for me, I'm debating if I dare sneak back into the fold for the third time though, they are extremely knowledgeable and supportive people.

I don’t know how much I weigh I’m to upset to even think about it too much but I feel disgusting and can’t look at myself in the mirror anymore starting the 2nd of Jan I’m thinking of doing the blood sugar diet I need to do something I can’t continue to hate myself as much as I do now

I’m the fattest I’ve been 12.11, massive for me. I’m going to do Exante ordered 4 weeks worth to come tomorrow. I know it will be hardcore but need the structure. Good luck everyone

Bacardi please don’t hate yourself, none of us have got to this stage for no reason. For me it’s being a lone parent with crisps and wine for company in the evenings

Count me in too, I'm also on the 1000k threat as I really need to loose the weight, and I'm finally in a better head space so I'm hoping that will help my motivation!

I am also similar to @GinaLinetti99 and last year I said I would have lost 2 st by summer and guess what... I didn't. I NEED to do it this year. I am just bewildered where to start and IME if I set unrealistic targets like exercising 6 days a week, I will fail. So my plan is 1500-1600 calories logged in MFP and 10,000 steps a day. I think the fact I have so much to lose is a huge mental obstacle for me. I have lost over 2st in the last but gained it all. So I need something that is going to work for me.

I'm a fattyboombalatty 17 and a half stone. I cant believe I've let myself go that much.

Im getting married, im not walking down the aisle looking like ten tonne tessy.

Problem is, is that I cant exercise properly because of my back so im screwed in that respect.

Ive got my fitness pal downloaded so im gonna record what i eat. I have a sexy smart watch to help me too, plus walking the poochie.

I'm determined to do this. So good luck op

When is everyone starting!?

I will be 40 in the summer. I can’t be fat and forty. I am going to overhaul my eating habits and join a gym. How much can I realistically lose on 6 months?

I'm about the same weight and 5'3...dress size 22-24.

Have had a stressful couple of years and have a chronically underactive thyroid so it's going to be an uphill struggle.

I'm starting officially next Saturday 5th by which time all the party/Christmas food should be out of the way. Going alcohol free for the month, GI diet plus 2 x gym, 1 x bodybalance and 1 x swimming per week.

Will keep a food and exercise diary and review after a month with the possibility of asking for a referral to an endocrinologist as strongly suspect my thyroid issues are more complex than what I'm receiving treatment for.
