Fuck I'm so lardy, I've hit peak fatness and need to sort it out.

[HairyKnobsAndBroomsticks]

It would appear that all I do is stuff my face with crap, lots of crap.

I'm going to try and sort myself out, starting tomorrow.

I'm scared, I'm useless at dieting but it's getting serious. I'm so unhappy, I caught sight of myself in the window walking past Costa coffee today. It was grim.

Anyone want to join me?

Weigh day tomorrow.

Food porn 😁

Oh gosh jenasarus, they look amazing.

I find weekends hard, not enough water and too many carbs. DH loves making bread, eating bread, talking about bread. I have logged everything and it's not a disaster but I really need to drink some water! Not the same as wine though, I can't fool myself.

Thank you @HairyKnobsAndBroomsticks

I've done the deed and weighed. If I wait til tomorrow the damage I could do today would be off the charts.

16 stone. 5ft 7. Trying not to feel ashamed and disappointed in myself.

Significant birthday in 4 weeks so half a stone is the first goal.

Another half by Christmas; would like to be in the high 14's.

Exercise not a problem; my issue is big portions and the menopause. Plan is to eat healthy, but less. Will log in My Fitness Pal for a few weeks to get me going.

Good luck everyone.

Well done @50FootWave for braving the scales. You are right, the damage that can be done in one day is crazy.

It would be lovely for you to lose half a stone in time for your birthday. Good luck.

I’ve made one significant change this week as we eat pretty healthy as a family. I cut out the Diet Coke!

since I became a mum, I have a habit with Diet Coke which has grown and grown and grown. I’ve moved over to sparkling and still water only this week.

food shop wise- I bought lots of prepared veg for dinner. I know this means that we will eat more if it isn’t going to take several pans to cook it in. Small steps 😂

weigh in tomorrow! Let’s smash it Team!

Can I join please? Just weighed myself and I'm shocked at how much I've gained in the last few months. I'm back to 80kg after working so hard to lose weight two years ago. I feel angry with myself for letting it happen.

@RedAutumn hi and welcome to fat club.

Thank you. I'm so glad that I found your thread today.

I'm glad that you have joined. The thread was only started last Sunday evening. I was just so out of control with stuffing my face but I have been pretty good all week, we shall see what the scales say tomorrow morning.

I was gutted when I weighed myself today. My downfall is definitely snacking. Every night I feel like I deserve a treat for getting through the work day, and I reach for the chocolate, even if I'm full up from my evening meal.
I think that I need to change my mindset, and realise that I'm not missing out by saying no to sweets etc.

@RedAutumn Maybe we can help motivate each other? I was heavier than you 10 days ago, and now I'm a smidge lighter. Shall we play tag? Catch me if you can!

I'm in!

I woke up ill today. Felt a bit off last night, had these weird stabbing pains in my legs and felt really stiff. Woke up in the night shivering with cold followed by dripping in sweat. I guess it's just a cold type virus, paracetamol has taken the edge off.

Course I feel sorry for myself and want to curl up with a couple of family bars of chocolate but I can't do that as it will just start me off again.

Sorry to hear that, @HairyKnobsAndBroomsticks - hope you feel better soon and stay strong.

I have just had a row with my 12 year old DS and wanted to reach for the biscuits but have cleaned my teeth instead.

One minute at a time, eh?

Menopausal Morris here reporting for this sad duty. Not so fkn smug now that I resemble my mother in law from the side.

My top tip is STAY THE FK AWAY from sharing bags of buttons, twirls etc. Yes I know they're right there on the end of the aisle and almost always on special offer but those innocent little nothings are not your friend. They slip down unnoticed with a cup of tea, and you can easily polish the lot off in a work day or evening sofa shift.

They contain about six hundred calories a bag. SIX HUNDRED. You can have a small burger and fries for that. Your main evening meal shouldn't be six hundred calories if you're slimming.

Don't buy them. You won't eke them out, you'll scoff the lot. You won't even feel full.

DON'T BUY THEM.

Solidarity @MorrisZapp.
The 240g share bags of giant buttons come in at 1284 calories!!
Not that I have ever eaten such a thing all in one go, oh no, not me. 🤥

'OW MUCH!!!

Would a hot toddy offer substitute comfort @HairyKnobsAndBroomsticks ?
Honey and ginger and a splash of whisky.

THIRTEEN HUNDRED!!!

GOD ALMIGHTY!!!!

Aww @HairyKnobsAndBroomsticks sounds like you've got a virus. Hope you get better soon. Sounds grim! Like @Stravaig says, a hot toddy would do you good.

I'm bloody horrified at those Cadbury's bags. They are getting banned from this house right now.

Can I join? I started dieting pre pandemic and thought I had 2 stone to lose. I’m another stone up now. I’d also now be happy just losing 2 stone (so goal a stone heavier than before).

Ive tried everything and stick to nothing, messed my metabolism up and I feel the last 3 years have been miserable due to dieting.

sorry, depressed myself reading that.

Hello @MaryGubbins you have come to the right place.

It's our first weigh day tomorrow, it feels like it has been a very long week.

@HairyKnobsAndBroomsticks hope you feel better asap!
@MorrisZapp god I feel seen 😩🙈 I am Mrs Share Bag (zero sharing done!).. I have literally never looked at the calories. Not that I don’t get that they’re awful, I just don’t face it. But you’ve just made me! I am Never buying again.
Kidding myself I’m doing well with meals and then stuffing one of those to myself!
@Stravaig I cannot believe that! I’ve been rubbish all weekend, and thinking should I join ww/sw/insert diet plan, and really if I cut that and the coke out, I’d probably lose loads!!

As I’ve done my usual ‘I’m stressed so fuck it’ weekend, Here’s me starting again tomorrow. Again 🙈
