Hello,
I've never been on a forum before, so I hope I'm doing this properly??!
Goal = 70lbs
I'm 27, and historically battled with my weight since puberty. Mum would 'tactfully' describe me as "prone to pork" when I was younger. Anyway, it was totally manageable until 2012, when I gained about 2 stone in just under 3 months when I quit smoking! Having always been meticulous about my diet (Mums haunting ptp quip as previously mentioned
) I can't attribute it to any changes in my diet or activity levels. GP was stumped. The reason my weight jumped without intervention was because I didn't have scales during that period (can you imagine the shock when I finally did stand on them? My clothes weren't shrinking then
)
To cut a long story short, since then I have seen a nutritionist/ counsellors,PT and even a hypnotherapist! All this, plus all the diets and fasts, which all work initially and then, it's as if I just give up??! And I've managed to gain a further 3 stone! *head in hands*
I have PCOS and suffer depression and anxiety (horrid combo!!!) And I'm absolutely convinced that it's behavioural rather than physiological.
My long suffering husband suggested a buddy,for support and for accountability. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any takers?
