Hi Everyone,
Sorry about the vague title but I wasn't sure what else to put. Long story shot, I'm classed as 'morbidly obese' and I'm miserable. I've been trying to lose weight for the last 8 years and just cant seem to do it. I don't have any medical issues and there's nothing wrong with me to stop weight loss, I just cant seem to do it.
I try and eat better, count calories, slimming world, weight watchers, keto you name it i've tried it. I just don't know why i cant stick to anything. I try and exercise too but I eventually just get that 'cant be bothered feeling', i think what doesn't help is how heavy I am, i ache a lot. When it comes to exercising, i just really struggle to push myself to do it. I have a treadmill in my shed, set up and ready to go, I use it a couple of times then just give up. I genuinely don't know why.
with my eating, I think im just impatient. I know weightloss doesnt happen overnight but when I weigh myself I expect to be losing a lot even when I know it doesnt work that way. I know our bodies can fluctuate so when i weigh myself and im a couple of pounds up, i just get disappointed even though i tell myself its normal. I'm constantly starting again and im getting so fed up.
I went to the doctors who referred me to a specialist but because i wasn't obese enough to be accepted and the doctors had to ask them to take me on, i felt like they thought i wasn't worth helping. I had one phone call and told them, I'm always hungry, struggle with eating etc and was just told to try the 5:2 diet (never again!). I got a check up call about 4 months later and obviously i only lasted a week with the 5:2 so they told me to just watch my portion sizes and then discharged me.
If i had to pick a weight loss method to stick to it would be calorie counting as i don't feel so restricted but its the sticking to it. Back when i was 20 years old, i lost 4 stone and felt amazing, i was only able to do it because i was in an unhappy, abusive relationship and losing weight gave me a sense of control. I was eating 1200 calories a day or less sometimes and was doing a 30 min aerobics dvd (sometimes twice), walking to work everyday (40 minutes each way) then doing an hour walk at night. I stuck to that no problem, even though it was unhealthy and unsustainable.
I just want to be healthy and happy. I have a holiday booked to Crete with my family next may and I want to feel comfortable with my body. all holidays I've had in the past 8 years I've been overweight and have constantly felt shit. Just for once i don't want to feel self conscious.
My stats are - Female, 30yrs old, 5'6, about 18 stone ish
I just don't know what to do. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
