Hi guys :wave_cry:
So I'm definitely a struggler, and looking to restart - so I'm in the right area!
I'll cut a long story short - I gave birth to my daughter in September last year and had gained around 30lbs during pregnancy. I lost quite a bit after I had her (not sure exactly how much), but quite quickly regained it PLUS more due to quitting BF'ing being a very bored SAHM with an easy going baby and just general greediness and lack of motivation
I first joined SW at the start of the year, followed the plan perfectly and gained 1lbs in my 1st week, and maintained the 2nd week so I quit that. I then joined WW Propoints 9 weeks ago - lost 2lbs in my 1st week, 1lb the week after, then I went away for 4days and completely went off track, didn't follow the plan or go to WI for a week or 2 and when I went back I'd gained 5LBS so had added another 2lbs on from when I first joined. I've tried to get back on track with it, but due to financial reasons I haven't really been able to shop properly to buy all the healthy or things I would usually get :sigh: and I've lost so much motivation (not that I had a lot to begin with ) and so here I am.
I'm utterly disappointed in myself, and hate myself for letting it get this far. I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror, or go shopping to buy clothes and have to always get the next size up :cry:
Enough is enough, how longer am I going to keep getting bigger, and hating myself for doing it to myself, but never changing? My partner & daughter deserve a healthier & happier me, and so do I! We want to go on our first family holiday together in July to Majorca, but honestly, the thought of me having to wear a bathing suit, shorts, skirts etc makes me feel physically sick!! People having to witness how large I am no thanks!! So I really need to do something, and fast!
I can't be trusted with food it would seem, so I'm thinking of trying a meal replacement diet. That way I'm cutting food out completely and can hopefully rebuild my relationship with it and also for fast results. When I lost 3lbs at WW that feeling of achievement was the best, and I just know with fast weight loss results on a meal replacement diet I would be so proud of myself and it would be the best motivation to keep me going on!
I'm sorry for such a long post, and ramblings I just felt I had to get it all out as I haven't told anyone in real life how I actually feel! So if anyone has any kind words or some info/help on where to look to next I would be ever so grateful!
