Hi there, I have been reading mumsnet for 2 years now but desperation has made me register so I can post this. Please be kind !!
Basically I am about 3 ish stone overweight. I know this and know what I need to do but I am oh so cross with myself as I can't do it. I have been at weightwatchers for years and always do well, losing a stone or so and then falling back into old habits. I have less time and energy since my gorgeous boy was born but I think weight loss is possible so why can't I get my big bum in gear and sort it out ??

Actually this was quite cathartic to write down how I'm feeling - makes me realise how pathetic it is !
But still would appreciate any help or tellings off !!

hello wobblybits! putting on weight makes me feel miserable and demotivated and everytime i put on a bit of weight it takes me a while to give myself a kick up the arse to do something about it. then i wake up one morning and just get on with doing some exercise....it works a million times better than dieting. And I don't mean going to the gym. I just start walking EVERYWHERE! Can you put your DS in a pushchair or carrier and make sure you get out twice a day for a long, speedy walk? It doesn't sound like it'll do much but I lost so much weight in a couple of months from doing this. When I'm exercising regularly I want to eat more healthily anyway so maybe this would be the same as you? Just do simple things like have smaller portions of your usual food rather than change what you eat then you won't feel like you're dieting.

Then you can change your name to mumsfirmbits
