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.

I want to join park run but I’m fat and unfit and embarrassed. I don’t know if I can bring myself to go along the first time

I’m heavier than all of you. On 8th January my new life begins. I’m not dieting I’m completely changing things but slowly - one change at a time.

First step - only eat mindfully sat at the table and not whilst watching TV / in car etc

Also 1/4 plate protein, 1/4 plate carbs and 1/2 plate veg / salad

Hi, didn't want to read and run, I want to start losing weight in the new year too, in the hopes of will help me conceive if I get healthier.

I'm not unhealthy per se. I am a smoker, I'm scared that if I give up smoking ill stress eat.

I'm currently 22 and about 10.5 stone, a size 12ish, boobs are an issue, I'm a 34G and all weight seems to go to my boobs which really affects my anxiety as they were always a topic of conversation when i was younger.

I have quite bad general anxiety, social anxiety and suffer with agoraphobia.

I can offer a hand good in the mental health department as I'm useless with knowing where to start with the weight loss, it's so hard to change a lifestyle!

Good luck op!

Hand hold not hand good! Xx

I’m in! Starting 2nd Jan, weighing in at a disgraceful 19 st 9. Am so ready to just lose this weight now, I hate it and find it really difficult not to hate myself as well.

I'm in. I'm a disgusting fat blob and tbh have been most of my adult life. Piled on five stone after DS was born and now my DH can't even have sex with me as he says he doesn't find me attractive. I don't blame him. I look grim

Rejoining SW in the NY and if that doesn't work I'll go down the MFP route like I've done before. Think I just need the discipline of classes for the time being.

Was a nice 8 stone. Up to 11. No idea how it happened.
Metabolism suddenly slowed I think and also drink a bit more (when living with parents didn't drink), now own house have a wine maybe 2-3 times a week at night.
Stomach is large, swollen, sore. Tired all the time. Generally feeling sorry for myself and really really down.

Can I join you, I'm about 21stone (will weigh on Wednesday) as that's when I start ! I'm doing the 8 week blood sugar diet to kick start me

Last time i weighed myself i was 14.5 stone but may have put on since then. Going to start dieting on Jan 2nd and will use a weight loss app. My downfall is too much snacking between meals. I don't even enjoy it i just stuff it in. Dh died this year so probably trying to fill a hole.

Hi, can I join too? I’m over 16stone and hate myself. Starting on Wed 2nd, will aim to lose 1lb a week so this time next year I should be nearly 4 stone lighter. Going to try the blood sugar diet and increase activity levels - aiming to hit my 10k steps a day initially and will increase as time moves on.

Good luck everyone.

I have tried during the whole of 2018 to lose weight and failed. It's made no sense to me as I've tried very hard.

I've recently read the complete guide to Fasting by Dr Jason fung. He says not being able to lose weight is because of insulin resistance. He says the answer is fasting. So I've started doing that.

Joining at 14.5 had a really good couple of days though using mfp and tracking healthy eating. Two hour walk and yoga today. It's only a start but it's been lovely to be less bloated and have fresh air

I’m over 15 stone at the moment, the heaviest I’ve ever been. I’ve signed up to ww starting tomorrow!

Can I join too please? More than 13 stone, 2 stone gained over the past 2 years - that heady mix of stress and menopause.

Have always been a regular in the gym, classes etc and I just stopped and couldn't motivate myself to go so I've swapped gyms and booked a block of personal training sessions! I will pull this back.

Trying to make this about getting fit and strong again with weight loss as a bit of a bonus! 2 sessions in now and feeling better already!

I could blame menopause and antidepressants (which I know did massivey cause weight gain originally) but right now, I think the reason I'm big is because I barely move all day long. Work from home at a desk job and have a DH who is almost permanently unemployed so he scurries around doing shopping and cooking to make up for it (not much cleaning though.) I also eat shedloads more starchy, rubbishy food and snacks than I did when I was 'naturally' slim.

I need to move more, clean the house and garden and walk everywhere and carry heavy shopping, like I always used to, as well as going to exercise classes, giving up snacks and eating a very low fat diet (not fashionable but really suits my dodgy gallbladder.)

I went to a party tonight. I drank a lot and ate too much. But I did bump into a woman I'd seen at a party before Christmas who had said she might be interested in starting running. And we agreed to do C25K tigether in new year with a start date and time fixed. So that's a step in the right direction, I hope.

Another one here who is similar to Gina. I've added another 1/2 stone or so over the festive period. Would like to lose 3 stone but realistically I must lose 1 then see how I feel.

I don't know what I am doing about it yet. The good news is that I feel like I have had enough chocolate and alcohol to keep me going for some time.

I am fantasising about going to the gym (swimming and cross training) but that doesn't usually last. Also about having a few carb free days a week - days in the office I find easiest for this. Finally I sometimes go for slim fast bars for breakfast and lunch for a few days a week, give me constipation though.

Am somewhat tired of the constant battle. Am also have a mirena coil fitted soon which I hope doesn't make things even worse.

I weighed myself the other day and I'm 10 stone 10, I'm only 5 foot and this is the heaviest I've ever been. I used to be around 7 stone, I was so confident back then. I'm terrible at sticking to a diet but I've promised myself I'll start on the 1st. Maybe this thread will help me a bit too. If anyone has any tips on healthy eating that would be great

I want to join too I was about 15' stone 3 at beginning of December probably nearer 16 stone now and I'm 5'9. Got a holiday with OH family in July would love to be under 13 stone for it. Starting Jan 1st!

I’m in too. I’m too scared to weigh myself so will be looking to slim out of my clothes. I’m seriously missing time to go to the gym so will be looking to do HIIT/kettlebells at home 3 days a week and BSD.

I am in. I am so unhappy and sick of feeling the way I do 😪

I know that hating myself hasn’t worked- and even when I was thin, it was never thin enough. I kept thinking if I camhanged I’d love my body but I never did.
Now my body and I have a better relationship- it’s carried and birthed 4 children. It helps me to enjoy a lovely sex love with my husband. It gets me from A to B and to be frank I have not treated it well. So I am going to change that... by doing activities I want to (I’m starting a six week kick boxing for women class next week) and by not using food to stuff emotions down.

When is everyone starting!?
I've already started.
I knew things were bad but when I went to see the doctor a few months ago about a nine weight issue she dealt with that and very tactfully mentioned how much weight I had put on since she had last seen me. I got on the scales and I have to say I was shocked. I knew I had put a good deal of weight on but I had kind of got used to it. It was a wake up call.

I’m in, Ive been trying to lose weight for ages, I’ve tried lots of things including eating ready made diet meals so I couldn’t cheat and have not lost anything. So new plan I have taken the battery out of my scales and said stuff it. My goals are to work up to 30 mins of exercise and to make better food choices. No weigh ins, no guilt, no calorie counting .... no idea whether this will work but worth a shot.

Can I join too. I'm 17 stone 12 pounds. Massive. I've always been a bit chubby but got a lot bigger over the last 5 or 6 years. I've tried quite a few diets over the years some which worked for a while but really I just love food and don't enjoy exercise. I've noticed my portion sizes are bigger than other people's and I just can't control my willpower. For the first time my reason for starting something is health rather than vanity. A few friends and family have had health problems this year and I'm starting to worry about my own health. My body is starting to ache, I can't crouch or kneel any more, after walking a few 100 metres I'm a sweaty out of breath mess, I struggle to put on socks, I snore, I even think I might have developed sleep apnoea because of my neck fat. My children begged me to take them swimming but I refused because I'm too embrassed. I'm size 22 the last size in most shops. My size has affected my relationship with my husband, he still thinks I'm great, but my body confidence is in zero. I need help. I'm not going to follow an official diet or count calories but will try to make small gradual changes e.g. I need to eat more veg, less snacks, smaller portions. I need to exercise but don't enjoy it so I will try walking more with the buggy. Maybe after a while I will feel brave enough to take the children swimming. Good luck everyone I hope we all find our willpower.
