How do I accept and be happy with my body

[iwantsunshine1]

I'm not classed as overweight but I have put a stone on in the last few months. I have tried and tried to lose it but I just can't for love nor money. I have 2 young children and I constantly turn to food (sweets, chocolate etc.) for comfort. I stress eat, comfort eat, boredom eat and can't stop. I'm 36, with a dh husband and 2 children and feel I just need to accept the new me and be happy but every time I look in the mirror I hate how I look and all my jeans now don't fit me. What would you do? Accept or keep trying to lose it?

Didn't want to read and run. I don't have any advice but I'm in the same boat as you.

I've lately realised I'm just not in the right headspace to lose weight and until I am, it won't happen. So for now, I've accepted I'll look this way until I'm ready to change it.

If you're happy in your new shape, embrace it.

If it's making you unhappy (you say you hate it), what have you tried so far?

@cheeseandketchupsandwich that's the same as me as in I just don't feel like I am in the right headspace now. I've tried calorie counting and not buying stuff so I don't have it in the house but it doesn't work. I just get stressed or upset and will find something to eat
