I feel like this is the only way I’ll hold myself accountable to sticking with a lifestyle that will help me long term. While my DH is supportive, he’s attracted to me regardless of my weight. It’s wonderful but also not.
My current stats: 36F, 5’4”, CW: 197lbs (89.3kg) GW: 150.
I’d been holding steady in the mid 170’s for most of last year. Then my oldest son began having some health issues. I “managed” my stress and anxiety with food. Plus it was the holidays so it was everywhere! I put on 20lbs in about 2 months. In January we discovered my son’s abdominal pain was just lactose intolerance, nothing serious thankfully!
My baseline self-hatred jumped even higher with the weight gain. I’m angry and frustrated that I can’t stop shoving food in my face to get myself to a better place mentally and physically. Quarantine has made this more difficult because I am home with food all of the time! The last time I was this weight was right after I gave birth to my second kid 5.5 years ago.
I’ve been in the contemplative stage of weight loss for months and I’m finally at a place where I’m doing something about it. I’d participated in Naturally Slim a few years ago so I’m using those strategies in addition to purchasing a premium membership with MFP.
I plan to find a therapist who can help me with all of my baggage. I think that will be a game changer.
I’d love any advice to help stay motivated and any habits that work for you! Thanks!
