I need to lose weight, I'm 14st -14st4, I hate it, it's the heaviest I've been since I split from my husband 5 years ago. I never want to go back to the weight I was then (15th), but I'm getting closer. I hate it, nothing fits, my bras are too small, nothing looks good, and I look hideous on Teams calls. Also all the eating is costing me so much money and I waddle.
Up until last year, I was 13st, and during lockdown, I was 12st 6lb. So it is doable.
I work from home and find I get up and go into the kitchen and just snack on chocolate (I have a fridge full of fruit). I just don't understand how I managed to lose weight in lockdown. Have I really started eating so much more?
I love fruit but very rarely eat it, preferring chocolate. I always seem to end up in a supermarket and inevitably buy cake. I love the gym but have found I'm not going as I'm fat and I'm not losing weight. I have a bike and love going out on it, but i had a nasty accident which has dented my confidence (almost being hit by a car and ending up flat on my face would do that).
How do I kick start myself into losing weight? I know I need to eat less cake and chocolate, my main meals are actually really healthy so they aren't the problem its my snacking, I know I need to exercise again. I know what I need to do. I just can't seem to switch my brain to do it. How do I do it?
I'm 45 and peri-menopausal, so I'm equally depressed about that.
