THE HORROR!!!!!

[Sunriseinwonderland]

I finally plucked up the courage to weigh myself after weeks/months of ignoring the situation.
I was horrified to find I was 15 stone. I am 5 foot 5.
I have never been so fat in my entire life, I'm utterly disgusted with myself.
No wonder my knees and back hurt all the time.
I'm 60 and simply cannot afford to be this fat, I can't retire for another 7 years.
I actually cried.
I've had a tough 5 years, divorce, lost my job, had to sell up and move 300 miles away, lost my beautiful girl (21 year old cat died) but that really is no excuse, my life is sorted now and I've downsized.
Anyway I've gone on Exante for a month to get things started and have lost 5 lbs this week.
I can't fathom losing 6 stone so I'm going to lose 3 then re-evaluate.
Is anyone else disgusted by their weight gain?

I understand. I too am 60 , 5'6" and weigh over 14 st (don't know exactly what i weigh right now). My knees and hips are very sore due to arthritis and i know they would not hurt so much if i lost weight. I just seem totally unable to get my head round it. I hate how i look and avoid mirrors like the plague. It's difficult.

I'm the same Apollo, I've put on a stone a year since the menopause, it has to stop!
