I desperately need to lose weight. I have no idea what happened - I've always been a bit overweight but not like this!
In retrospect, I was soothing a lot of stressful life issues and spent my evenings in front of the t.v. eating junk - and this went on for months. I don't eat volumes of food, I just eat all the wrong things.
I don't exercise - ever. I used to be so into fitness, but now I just feel tired and the effort seems so monumental. Lately I've been wanting to TRY, but I just feel too heavy and embarrassed of how I look.
So where does one go from here? I'm in a rut, a deep one. There are the usual life issues, 3 kids, working 4 days a week, my youngest child is just turned 4, a marriage that could be better, and financial difficulties which are always there and never change (!). I'm not naive enough to think that any of these issues are any different than the stressful issues any of you reading are living under. I just don't like the idea of using the above as reasons to not care about myself - not anymore anyway.
I want health and energy and a lower body weight so I can feel better about myself. I DON'T want to be stick-thin - I have no unrealistic goals here!
I can't find Step one! I've tried WW and keep failing and don't want to sink any more money into that. How many of you are doing this alone - watching what you eat, exercising?
Thanks for reading - and thanks in advance for your help!
