So tired of trying to lose weight. Recently I tried slimming world but (and I feel like it’s an excuse) I am vegetarian and find it hard to feel full after meals especially as sometimes they don’t have alot of protein. So just can’t stick to it!
My BMI is 32, feel a bit self conscious, I know I’d feel better with 10kg off. I used to be lighter but I used to do a lot more exercise. Now I’m up at 5:30am with my 18 month old (me and dh, just impossible to sleep through her wake up). Get the kids ready for school, school run, work 9-5 pick up kids, kids tea and bedtime, we’re all done by 8:30pm and last thing I have energy for is a workout.
I get a lot of cravings, a lot of food noise, and unless I’m on it in terms of meal prep I’ll need last minute things too so eat easy things that aren’t very good for you.
And I have PCOS. Both my parents are diabetic now, my Dad since his 50’s (although his BMI is 24, i swear he must have a male version of PCOS as he is just obviously unlucky with him diabetes as otherwise he’s a fit and healthy guy).
I don’t know whether just to try it? My worries are any health risks that aren’t probably understood yet, and a little bit “what’s the point if you put it all back on after.”
I was 10-12kg lighter when I got married and felt much more comfortable in how I looked. I’ve been trying for years and most recently trying for months and lost 4kg and put 2kg back on. Is it time to try it?
