Now, I know how to lose weight - I have done it before and lost 5 stone. It took me 2 years ad was hard work as I dont lose weight without a very restricted diet and LOTS of exercise.
Yesterday I stood on the scales and it read 17stone 1lb. I felt physically sick and I wanted to cry so hard.
I am trying to figure how we can budget for food so that I can have healthier food, but I cant be cooking 2 meals an evening - we have like £400 laft over after bills t feed the 3 of us and for etras like bus fares and what nots. We have to save some of that for my driving lessons, so we cant spend more than £70 a week on shopping - and that doesn't go far when i have to factor in Emmas milk etc.
I am now stuck in a catch 22............I feel too fat and It depresses me so I don't want to go out, so I don't. So I am not exercising. The HV thought that maybe as I have NO energy (cos of weight and lack of exercise) that iron tablets would help - well they haven't. I still want to sleep 12 hours a day. I also am preferring being up at night as well...................no one will see me then .
I am not going back to work as it will make the situation worse as I will be sat on my arse all day - more than at home, and I know what the guys in the workshop are like as they take the piss out my boss for being chubby and she is only a size 16! I was a size 10/12 before I got pregnant so they have never seen me this fat - I don want the slagging, or knowing they will talk about it behind my back.
OH and I eat together in the evenings, and I have spent the last few days trying to figure out how I can avoid it . I think I will have to have like a 1/8th of what he has and then load up on veg.........
I need to have approx 1000 cals a day to lose weight. But I tried it a few weeks ago and I was soo tired that I slept for almost 22 hours
