Hi everyone
Looking for some help from you lovely people.
I need help as my weight going back up.
Throughput my life my weight has been up and down.
I'm 14st 1lb today 5foot 4 inches and middle aged and just feel out of control, no willpower, what's the point as just can't get the motivation switch, toying with doing one of these low keto diets which I did a few years ago but put all of it back on except one stone.
My mindset is not good as I feel so overwhelmed and want all the weight gone quickly which I know logically is stupid but losing slowly is hard as I feel like giving up or I'm never going to get there. I know I am still going to be fat this Christmas.
I look horrible as not much fits and I don't want to buy new clothes.
I just can't seem to get my head in the right frame. I have become breathless walking and disheartened as my oh thinks he needs to lose weight and is under twelve stone and five inches taller so I have a long way to go to even get to his weight.
What can I do. A pound a week is so slow so I lose the incentive.
Logically I know if I did this I would be slim this time next year but it feels a long way off.
I am pale too, legs not nice as veins lots so self conscious in summer on hols but at least if they were thinner be something.
Everything about me looks old and unattractive. No one even looks at me anymore. Invisible.
Just feel down and hate myself.

Do I weigh myself or try and get into smaller outfits
What does everyone else do or find works.
Sometimes I have dieted before and not cheated once and put weight on which I know logically it is just fluctuation but my heart then isn't in it.
Pathetic excuse I know!

Both. Weigh one a week or so and try on clothes sometimes. Weight and size are not always directly related.

@halloweenangel how are you getting on ?
