In need of moral and support

[fastandthecurious1]

So little backstory, 6 years ago I made the conscious effort to get fit and healthy I weighed in at 17st and though god I need to change this and I started doing fitness classes 4 morning a week and massively changed eating habits I dropped to 12.5lbs and felt the best I ever gave.

I then fell pregnant and I am not blaming the pregnancy be stayed the same if not less by the time birth came however... in the last 5 years I have now weighed in at 19.6lbs I am so unfit and unhealthy not even starting on body image etc

My son deserves a mum to be fitter. I've had a very rough year losing both parents unexpectedly and I've just found myself with no motivation or moral when it comes to myself :(

My husband is amazing but I've wore thin on the fresh starts and gym joining with no follow through so he's got no faith right now which I can't blame him for. My one best friend is the same and the other is a bigger girl than me so doesn't understand why I want to lose weight.

I have signed up to race for life next July and I intend to train to be ready for it! Any one offering any support or good ideas to help me change my though processes would be amazing and if anyone is willing to be a text support buddy with fitness / weight loss even better as i going fully soley here!

I’m sorry for your losses.

It’s so hard to get going again isn’t it. The exercise is great, but the priority in losing weight has to be food intake. I found diet doctor really good. A lot is free or you can do a free month trial so you can print out all you need.

Be careful with friends potentially sabotaging you. You changing your life challenges their own choices/complacency.

@SparklingLime thank you I will definitely have a look at this. I really need a new mindset my snacking is just out of control x

Sorry for the loss of your folks.

We decluttered as much high calorie snacks as we could and kept a few in a tub in the spare wardrobe, in a out of sight is out of mind way.

I post on one of the threads on here, the Christmas challenge one and having support makes a huge difference to me. It sounds like if you don’t have the support just yet in real life then regularly post on here and have a read of the Christmas challenge thread and others and pop by and join in.

Have you thought about a plan for success? You need to be organised and not just drift a long or it won’t work well

I’m high protein low ish carb with 15k steps a day and regular HIIT, weights or spinning depending on how I feel. I have memberships to Les Mills and The Body Coach apps which I use.
