Stressed out Mummys weight loss and mind challenge

[NotEver0]

Exactly this.Ive had it looking lumpy and bumpy and having zero energy.my sugar addiction is way out of control, im talking about three/four mini bars chocolate, a pastry ,few biscuits,some sweets,any cake on the go everyday not counting nuts crisps,cheese,kids leftovers and meals.

Im stll left wanting more.Quite adicted to food now id say.Im eating most of my crap at 8pm when i finally collapse in a heap on the sofa,also eating rubbish soon as im stressing or unable to eat properly.
Ive three kids,one severely disabled,life is shit and tough everyday,but ive Got to be better.Im spiralling and ready to reign it in mentally and physically.
Im 5ft 7 now weighing 12 stone. Im aiming for two stone off minimum.
Im going to track my food by keeping accountable on here and talking about triggers and by talking about them instead of bottling them up ill fix my head as well as my body.
Anyone up for it?
Ill be writing down on here what ive at by 8pm everyday and therefore stop eating by then.

Got my running trainers on and im off out into the sunshine for some running.or attempt at running i should really say.

Its a nice sunny day over here ive been for a walk and I'm avoiding the chocolate have you got strava? Its a good app to keep track of your runs/walks etc

@Theunamedcat hi! Yes sunny here too.ive got strava and managed over 40 mins run walk,distance of 3 miles,i'm happy with that.im feeling positive.kids are getting on,no meltdowns, 3 glasses of water drunk,chocolate so far untouched,im winning!
Have you a goal?

My goal is my jeans I have no scales but im guessing I'm around 11.5 - 12 stone i had bulimia as a child so scales are a no no incase I spiral I really need to lose weight but in a healthy way

@Theunamedcat jeans are a good goal,ive a favourite from zara which i refuse to throw away but currently cannot button at all! Are you running too?

I'll join you! Also a tired stressed mum who's reaching for the sugar to get her through. After 8pm is also my weakest time, sitting here now contemplating a bowl of cereal, which will lead to another one and another so am posting here instead!

I do a lot of exercise but as they say, you can't outrun a bad diet!

I need to find something else to help me deal with the stress and tiredness but I don't know what...exercise isn't enough.

Happy to support each other here!

@ColourMeExhausted welcome!all tired stressed sugar addicted night time eating mummies are welcome.

So ive only managed to update now on my day

Lunch-frozen breadcrumb cod(one slice)
Dinner-large portion baked salmon with salad
Snack handful of raspberries and one dairy milk chocolate

Exercise-40 min run walk-3 miles

Mental health-struggled very badly after a promising start this morning, my severly autistic son has been crying for over a week with no known reason why, despite all medical checks.this continued today, i coped best as possible soothing him best as i could.got him to sleep an hour ago.

Not a bad day for food,my heads banging (partly lack of serious sugar intake!)so im ready for bed.

Night

Nightly update

Food
Breakfast-2 white coffee
2 rashers trimmed fat bacon
1 fried egg

Snacks 3 reisen chocs
I slice caramel chocolate shortbread
Handful raspberries

Dinner spiced chicken breast salad and sauce

Exercise 25 minute walk run,2.5 miles

Mental health-my son was calmer today,few episidoes of manic crying however we slept as he slept right through.poor guy is exhausted.

Not a bad day,did reach for the sugar when my son was crying and was tempted to eat more ,im proud of myself that i didnt succumb.

In tired and I had strawberries with sugar and cream im shite at diets

Sorry just checking in now! Been a stressy few days, and DS broke our 4k telly tonight (DH's pride and joy, I think he was about to cry when he saw the damage). That on top of some bad news today, full on working days and not much sleep again meant I did the thing I always do...yup, reached for the (sugary) granola and ate two big bowls tonight (on top of some chocolate too). Gah. I hate myself (too ashamed to share what I ate in the rest of the day. A greggs cookie was involved, let's just say no more...)

OP i read your thread about your son and just made the connection. I'm sorry, that sounds hugely stressful. I'd be eating everything I could find to cope so you're doing amazingly well. Glad to hear he is a bit calmer. Hope tomorrow is a better day.

I'm going to start the day off with a 5k run, and try and keep it on a healthy track!

Can I join you? Also 12 stone and would like to load 2 stone.

I'm sorry to hear about your son. Must be so stressful 💐

I will also post here to be accountable especially as Easter holidays have started!

@ColourMeExhausted that sounds like a tough day,hope youre ok and tomorrow is much better,some days are definitely write offs!dont beat yourself up about the food,tomorrow just try again. I have a whole tray of Costco chocolate caramel shortbread calling me every time im in the kitchen,im almost tempted to scoff the lot so its gone out of my sight!!
I shall desist...
Thank you for your kind words about my sonx

@time2b33 of course,join and help yourself, im trying to do exactly this.my weakest lowest moments these past few days have spurned me on to be healthier and happier.

Mental health-feeling low today,might be the restarting of the sertraline yesterday, its gave me brain fog and excessive yawning,dont know my plan with how long im going to stay on it,was on it for two years before stopping three months ago.safe to say this week has been one of the worst in a while.but im talking about it,here and writing these words make me accept how im feeling which in turn will hopefully help me deal with my life better.

All in not a bad day,my boy has spent best part of today hiding in his room when crying,hes using his own technique of covering his face with his duvet in the dark.my poor wee boy.May any God up there,from any religion take pity on my boy and relieve his suffering xxx
