Weight loss to-date 40kg (Sept- april 2010)
I am driving everyone mad around me as my weight plateau around April this year
and there has been no weigh loss since around that time.
I have got myself into a old cycle of occasionally pushing the boundaries
not eating /and some little old habits do seem to be creeping back in my life
occasionally.Mainly eating things that I really dont need to put in my mouth.
(Biscuits sweets and recently a old friend of mine the bread ) I have to point out I only have
very small portion sizes However I am putting the wrong things in my mouth is almost like
I sabotage my self. Not all the tim. However I only had the one occasion and its been this week
when I have been sick and experience dreadful Dumping symptoms, I suppose hence
this post really, I NEED HELP..
I contacted my health provided and they have suggested joining a weight loss group
like (W/W) however I paid privately for the op and although I look ok and not over
weight I still have my own personal goal to reach a certain weight. I feel I have to
get to this weight in order to achieve and believe in me that I can also do it.
Honestly I have not done any exercise I have 2 very active children I never sit down
from waking at 7 am to really going to bed at 11pm I am always doing. I have a form
of RA and have terrible back pain and at times suffer with fatigue due to the symptoms
of the condition. I also work a 12 hour shift once a week and 1 evening a week so I
very rarely have time for me.
My portion size is very small smaller than my toddlers food plate. I have a balanced
diet of veg/fruit protein . I dont drink alcohol. We walk lots on a weekend with the children .
Any tips for kick starting the weight loss. Foods I can eat . My weight is mainly
around the middle and tummy. Wondering if i am a failure???
