I've had issues in my relationship these past 2 weeks, my heart is kind of broken and my confidence is at an all time low, although I'm not very overweight, I want my body back. I'm a busy, middle aged mother of 3, carer to my mother, 2 of my children have special needs. It got too easy to eat quick and unhealthy food when I was on the go so much and I've put on weight all in the top half of my body, mainly my belly. Because I have a small frame, it mqkes me look pregnant and bloated. My face has changed, I have only 3 pairs of jeans or pants that fit. I hate it.
I've managed to lose from 157lb to 145lb and I'm aware this isn't really a big deal, but if you see how obvious the weight gain is on just a few areas of my body, you'd see why I need to lose. I've been eating at a deficit, take hour long walks with my dog, I barely ever sit down, I'm busy all the time so I've decided to take extra time for myself to go for a run today.
I love this sub, everyone is so positive. It makes me smile to see how well people are doing. We are all just here because we want to be happier in our bodies and to be healthy. I don't feel healthy right now, I feel ugly and and I've always been a super confident person. My clothes don't fit, I feel clunky and awkward, I don't carry the weight well and I feel like the weight I've lost already hasn't really made much difference. Add to the relationship issues, I feel really down on myself right now, men don't look elsewhere when they're happy with the person they're with. And we've been together for 20 years.
I will huff and puff on my run, my dog won't be happy with it (she's lazy), I will probably only run a little, then walk, then run again, it will probably be hilarious but any little helps right?
I will hopefully update with a before and progress photo that will keep me motivated
