Unhealthy lockdown

😬 exactly that really for the best part of a year I’ve been eating junk and drinking far too much alcohol and I don’t know how to stop. Before lockdown I was actually quite slim but because I’m short the weight gain feels significant and is effecting my life. I’ve put on about a stone and a half and I can’t believe how much difference it has made, when I try to sleep my hips hurt, my breasts are sore and heavy and my mood has significantly dipped. Please has any one else been in this situation and how do I break the cycle ? After a long day of home learning and work j feel like all there is to look forward to is food and alcohol but I can’t carry on with this mentality. Any advice will be really appreciated, I just need small steps to start, I’ve had every good intention going but I never succeed.

I was going to start such a post as well. Have put on over a stone, getting new backache, and also an ankle swelling, usually really active go to the gym and swimming most days. I think this sedentary lifestyle is not good. I have just this week started trying to eat a bit more healthy as I have been eating too much junk.

That’s so good that you’re making changes, I keep saying I will but then I don’t. I’m usually quite active and I cook healthy meals for my family but once the kids are in bed it’s wine and deserts, I really do know it isn’t ok but like I’ve said I just can’t stop. I downloaded couch to 5k and haven’t even looked at it 😂 it’s funny but it’s not at the same time if you know what I mean, this is significantly impacting my life now. Any one managed to break the bad lockdown habits? X
