Relost the 20 pounds I put back on

[Roushi]

I lost 20 pounds in the second quarter of the year. Was feeling really motivated back then but just abruptly stopped and I have no idea why. And it all inevitably piled back on. I ignored it cause I was so disappointed in myself for quitting.

Im a stay at home mum and eat due to boredom. Husband is a pilot so there are many times where it’s just me and the kids at home. My go to comfort is a Deliveroo. And I don’t hold back. I had 3 kids in quick succession and went from being slim to 200 pounds. I can eat a family sized galaxy without even blinking on the sofa. I stupidly tell myself I deserve it after doing all the childcare and housework.

Anyway, I got really upset with how I have let myself go. My thought process for the last few years has been I’m fat so why bother? I used to never step out the house with unstyled hair and no make up.Now I just wear baseball caps.

I realise I need the old me back. I Iike her and the way she looks.

I’m back down to 180. My goal weight is 120 there is a LONG way to go. But I look less like a blob and have a waist again. Feel proud of myself for making the change.

For those in similar situations please please fight for yourself. You are worth it!

Well done you!
Keep going.
You deserve to be proud.

18 months ago I was 2st lighter. Menopause, life and a puppy with short stumpy legs got in the way. I no longer walk 5 miles a day and eat everything not bolted down due to insomnia and craving sugar ( thanks menopause)
Got a walking pad arriving next week. Planning on losing half a stone before Christmas as a kick-start for the new year.
I am definitely worth it 😁

Thank you! I put my aging westie in the pushchair when he gets tired. Just an idea. I personally do so much better walking out in the real world.

@Roushi I still do an hour and half with stumpydog but it's a slow sniffy walk.
I need to walk fast to lose weight.
I commute to work on my bike, that's nine miles a day, 8 hrs on my feet. I run out of time and effort by the time I'm back with the doggo.
Hoping the walking pad while watching tv will help.
As for putting stumpy in a buggy- have you ever had side eye off an angry dachsund.....😁

@Rowgtfc72 which walking pad have you gone for?

@Workiskilligme Super run walking pad 2.5.
It came out reasonably well in a Runners World survey and with Black Friday isn't too much money to lose if it's no good/ I start storing stuff on it!

@Rowgtfc72 looks like a good price, thank you.
