Unbalanced need help!

Hi Guys.
Since 2012 i have lost 5 stone and 7lbs using nutracheck and now am using myfitnesspal to maintain my weight of 10 stone 6lb but i am struggling. I have an eating disorder so i can under eat but also i can over eat, i was doing well maintaining my weight (just over 2000 calories a day but alot of the time only reaching about 1600-1800 on average) I am eating small amounts every 2-3 hours and i was soo proud of myself..

Until last night.. shared a large pizza with husband chicken, mushroom, sweetcorn with extra cheese in the crust...southern fried chicken, chips, onion rings and chocolate fudge cake.. also 2 cokes (1 coke life and 1 dr pepper 500ml bottle) now i feel disgusting, I cannot exercise alot because of living conditions and right now i am still recovering from keyhole surgery.

I am not dedicated enough to continue situps and husband has brought me one of those toning belts for christmas but realistically its never going to get rid of my belly, i am not fat right now but my belly is large and sags and i can't tone it up =( please someone give me some advice how do i stop this temptation with food?

Also i can't join gym as i don't have babysitter

Hello storm4mozza!

Don't panic! Forget this one night, stick to your normal diet plan and start working out from home. You can start from YouTube, or other websites that offer similar solutions, at least that's what I am doing, and you will see results! If you exercise regularly you will feel more confident and happy and this "food temptation" you currently have will gradually slow down. All you need to do is make it a habit

Thankyou so much Princess i was starting to think that no one was going to reply. I did get over this temptation but it came back, but your right youtube sounds amazing might put it on my phone and do some exercise whilst im doing the housework lol

Oh hun- don't be TOO hard on yourself. I think it's very common to struggle with food most. I know I do. I too use a weightloss app to maintain- if not, I'd surely gain weight! In my 20's I was HORRID... I went out with friends, didn't work out, ate like Sh$% (like a whole pizza and never thought of calories or my health)- and tbh, it took a toll on my body and balance and life. So at 29- I made the choice to do better. I've been good about the gym since- but food, it's still a struggle.

It wasn't till I was TTC that I really (actively) tried to lose some of the extra weight I'd put on in my 20's (and I was in my 30's by then!). And it wasn't till after I had LO that I lost the last 15lbs I wanted to lose! I do well most of the time- but yes, I still have days I over indulge and pay the price (feel like crap). I'm not sure that will ever go away completely- but I look at how I am overall- not just one moment.

Do you not have any gyms with day care? Mine has one- and good hours- so if hubby isn't home, or we want to go together, I have that option.

Also- you have made such great efforts hun. Don't forget how far you've come. It's a process- and not one that happens overnight. It's step by step. So find something active you do enjoy- and eventually, it will be habit. I never thought I'd love working out. Now, I can't go more than a day or two or I miss it! Kinda crazy. lol. But I worked my way up and now I do weight classes- step and other classes I'd never of tried when I first started. And being 41, and healthier and fitter than I was at 28, I feel pretty darn good about that!
