Depressed about weight on Xmas Day

[Youngatheart00]

DH took some pictures of me opening presents and I just look huge 😔

Today’s clearly not the day to start a diet(!) but I’ve got 3st + to lose, starting tomorrow and then in earnest in the New Year

Just wanted to write that down to commit myself to it, anyone else feeling this way?

AcornAutumn. The probably link with hormones is a bad sign for me as I’m 57 and post-meno. I’ve put most weight on around my middle area and feel like I’ve lost my shape.... Knowing my luck I’ll just lose it off my boobs 😡😡

I didn't mean female hormones, I meant stress hormones.

I would love to lose weight from my chest! 😂

I have just had a boiled egg as a snack

This better work!

Yes @AcornAutumn I’m hoping for that pace of loss too - 3lb a week. At least for the first stone or so!

I've definitely had friends who have done it so fingers crossed.

I've started a thread...it may be a little too bonkers but worth a try.

I’m so sorry to hear that @Orlando234. That must have been so hard to go through. I’m also sorry that you’re feeling in a low place right now. Hopefully this thread will give us all a kick up the arse and we can turn things around and hopefully that will give you a little more confidence again.

I’ve had an ok few days. A long way from perfect, but have tried to cut out a little bit of sugar. Small steps and all that. I weigh 12 stone 3 and would love to drop 10lbs by Easter. I need to buy a new wardrobe as I’m living in stretched maternity leggings with holes in, but it would be nice to but the clothes when I (hopefully) feel a little better about myself. I also need to sort out my skin and hair, but hopefully a better diet will improve those too!
