I have a fair amount of weght to lose. I know it. I am fat, unfit, unhealthy. I really do know it. I used to be healthy and fit and strong. I've never been terribly slim, always slightly more than my ideal BMI, but I was always fairly comfortable. I don't want to be really slim. I'm about 15-20kgs overweight. According to BMI/ideal weight thingys I am obese. I just feel really weak and unfit and unhealthy. But I just can't focus on myself, on eating the right foods and exercising and just living a healthy life.
I am setting a bad example to my children, my daughter in particular. I never want her to feel as low as I have/do about myself. Already she will stand on the scales inthe bathroom, copying me and she checks herself out int he mirror like I do when I'm trying to find lothes I'm comfortable in to wear. I don't want to make her like me. I dont want her to be self concious of herself, for goodness sake she's only2 (well, not quite...!).
I joined the BB weightloss challenge at the begining of the year with all of the best intentions,at first I did really well and lost 3kg's and several cm's, but now I keep on putting on that same 2-3kgs. I'm trying to keep on keeping on, but I just keep on going back to old habbits. Right now I'm sitting here eating chocolate and ice cream.
So what did you do that changed your mind set. What was it that made you totally focus and be able to do it. How did you do it. I so struggling at the moment. I really hate how I look, how I feel. I don't have money to spend on myself so things that cost aren't going to help. Nor will things that take alot of time, between two kids under 2 studying and working I'm pretty stretched and stressed. I would love to get a personal trainer or gym membership, join wieght watchers or what ever, but I can't.
Please help meeeeee!!!
