I have always struggled with my weight, from as long as I can remember.
I’ve been up and down throughout the years, and now it’s just going up and up..
I am 22F and weigh around 245 pounds - I am 5 foot 6. I am obese - probably morbidly.
I just had a baby 3 months ago (which we took awhile to conceive probably due to my weight)
He is my everything and the best thing to ever happen to me.
Tonight I noticed on my many stretch marks that I have a blister or some sort of boil appearing. I’ve never suffered with these before but I have a little heath anxiety (ironic, right) and ended up down a rabbit hole of health issues caused by being over weight.
It was a bit of a smack in the face, especially having a baby who depends on me and I want to set a good example for.
I want to lose weight, I know how to do it as I’ve done it before.
A couple years ago, my biggest weight was 170 pounds and I lost it all by myself and went down to around 130 pounds. Back then it was a huge achievement and I even ran a race for life despite never being a sporty person.
Unfortunately bad mental health wound me up to piling the weight back on. Then I got into a relationship and we had fun and went out a lot and I’ve wound up here
My trouble is, is the snacking - I can’t stop. And I need sugar fixes. It’s what I look forward to. One of my most favourite things to do in the evenings especially, is wind down and watch tv eating crap food. I never feel sated after a meal and although I don’t mind eating healthy meals, the healthy snacks fill me with dread.
I really need help to get started. I want to, but never do and I know what I need to do but I can’t take the first step
It feels like it’s harder for me to lose the weight now compared to when I had to lose it before, as I have a partner and cant just overhaul everything But at the same time I have a son who I do need to change my life for, as well as for myself
Can anyone offer me some advice and maybe share your stories with me.
Oh and does anyone have any advice they can share on how you can enjoy exercise, I go for walks with my son but find them tedious as there’s not many local places and I feel a bit awkward! Maybe I need to go off track and get a sling for him. I’m a bit shy for classes too
Thank you so much
Sorry for the formatting!!
