i have posted this on the dieting forum but replies arent forthcoming so thought id post it here because i know you ladies better.

I had my little boy nearly 5 months ago and have put on quite a bit of weight.

now i wasnt slim to start with but i seem to sit here everyday and eat rubbish!!!

ive been watching supersize vs superskinny and it scares me and i always say to oh that i dont want to end up like that, i dont want my son to see my bad eating habits and copy them, i dont want to have a heart attack and have him lose me in 10 years time, i dont want him bullied on the school yard for having a fat mummy

you would think with all of these thoughts id be able to stop eating, ive started the wii fit and zumba the last week so im exercising more but i cant seem to stop eating the rubbish

just yesterday i ate a big bar of dairy milk then we ordered pizza because id had a bad day with lo and didnt wanna cook

does anyone else have this problem, any advice??

i just need support really, my mum tries bless her but instead of trying to encourage me if i slip she tells me "oh so you were lying when you said you werent going to eat that stuff then"

i think shes trying to guilt me into sticking to it but it makes me feel like a failure :cry:
 
:hugs: I know what you mean!!! its sooooooooo hard to get the control back and eat healthy when your tired isnt it :nope: I went to slimming world for the first time yesterday so am hoping that will help? i know what i should be eating but its hard to be motivated when you are tired so having someone weighing me each week ,well im hoping that will help? i need to exercise too :haha: Maybe you could find a fat club too? x xx
 
haha well done you :)

i used to go to sw and i lost 2 stone, it really works for me but at the moment im not working so cant afford class and zumba which ive just started, maybe when im working ill start one too

i just need to stop buying crap, my oh doesnt get chance to eat half of it because its gone once hes in work :(
 
Oh i couldve written this myself.

But i truely believe that i wont ever stick to any weightloss plan unless i actually want to and am determined to stick to it.
If im feeling half-hearted about it then i might do it for a day or 2 then give up. So you have to get into the right mind frame.

Also setting yourself mini weight goals rather than a massive one that you just end up resenting cos it just such a distance away!

I at the moment am not in the right mind set for weightloss, but i hope to be soon, i just need to properly sit down right up some rules im going to follow, write up a meal plan and only then can i feel like im ready to take weightloss on properly and not just do a half-ass'd attempt!

You can do it hun, but just make sure you really want too first!
 
i know what you mean hun but i feel like my mind wants to but my stomach doesnt lol

i was successul with meal plans so maybe i should start there x
 
yeh i agree with lellow on this, i keep getting mini boughts of really wanting to lose weight.

im two stones over what i'd like to be, and have lost half a stone since i gave birth 6 months ago!!! i dont eat too well, but i know im not active enough to really lose the weight but like you so tired, and dont get much time alone to actually exercise.

so, yeah im not giving much help here, but maybe slowly easing yourself off the sugar? so instead of a big bar of choc get a smaller one? or buy dark choc so you eat a little less of it?
 
why is it so hard lol, i just need to go cold turkey on the chocolate i think, if i dont buy it i cant eat it right?????? lol
 
I suggest 'weaning' yourself :lol:
 
shellie, when i would get some real choc cravings i just make myself this choc desert i bought from lidl- called linesa something (blue box, supposed to be the healthier option). and whip it up and that helped with me knowing it wasnt a gazillion calories!
 
Arghh, totally with you! It makes no sense and you can see why people who have never been through it think it's stupid as it's just so straight forward to lose weight - after all, eat less and move more, simple!!

I know slimming world inside and out, I have been doing it on and off for so many years. I get to the point of thinking "right, this is it now, time to lose weight" , then the next minute, I am ordering a Dominos, which will be followed by a load of chocolate, pudding, etc, etc!!
I have so many reasons to lose weight, my son is a big enough reason, but yet I am still struggling!

I don't know what the answer is, it makes no sense! The one time I was so so successful was a few weeks after my son was born, when it was discovered I had gallstones and ended up in hospital! After that, I had no choice but to eat healthily, so that was easy - eat healthy or end up in hospital again! I knew the pain I'd be in if I touched anything bad and so that was my motivation - but now, my gallbladder is removed and I don't "need" to eat healthy, so the weight I lost during the time before my op, I have now gained!!

Anyway, just basically saying "know how you feel" - I know it's not a solution, but still, I do find it can help when you know you're not the only one!!

Hello :hugs:

This sounds just like me lol. I am always fighting with myself. It drives me mad. I so desperately want to loose weight but just can't seem to get motivated :wacko: I think about food all day. I know that i can do it as i lost 3 stone last year before i got pregnant :dohh:

I have all the excuses under the sun. I am my own worse enemy. I am so depressed about the amount of weight i have to loose so you would think that alone would be enough but no it's not. :growlmad:

I am going on holiday next week and i have decided that when i get back i am going through all my cupboards and getting rid of all the crap. I am also going to make up a few weeks worth of menus and kick my butt into gear. I have ordered myself some new trainers and i will be starting to run again.Im not going to but any crap and then i wont be able to eat it lol. My DH has offered to do the shopping on his way home so i cant put anything yummy in the trolly lol.

I think you have to just pick a start day and go for it. Don't let anyone or anything get in your way. We are the only things standing in the way of our weight loss.

:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:
 
your all right girls, thanks for your replies, its nice to know im not the only one feeling this way

im sitting here munching on a carrot after having done 40 mins on wii fit then its off to zumba tonight

i have 2 big bars of galaxy, snickers ice creams, cornettos and 2 snicker bars in in the kitchen and its killing me not to open any of it lol
 
Hi, I know how you feel - I felt exactly the same last year, couldn't stop eating rubbish and felt rubbish and depressed with my weight. I joined www.myfitnesspal.com in May of last year (had my baby in February last year) and have lost 36lbs since then. It has been a gradual weight loss (about 3-4lbs a month), which i have been told is more likely to stay off. You should join up and give it a try! (it's free). You have to think of it as more of a lifestyle change rather than a diet though, and give yourself small goals to aim towards. :thumbup:
 
Ergh I hate my jelly belly..But Ive managed to lose a stone in a month and thats due to walking my son to school and picking him up each day which is about 3 miles a day in all..I was doing really well this week and then I saw the Fox's Vienesse Melt things in cupboard mmm Ill just have one (6 later) then I felt guilty! lol

Its hard I crave sugar when am tired which is now all the time :/
 
thanks marie, ive just registered so will see how i get on
