I use to justify my bad habits and make excuses. I have to stop for my own health and my mental health. I started by coming clean to my husband who was shocked but told me he will help me in any way. I have gained a crazy amount of weight in a short time, and I feel sick almost constantly. I am making small changes lowring my calories slowly and I am going to talk to my doctor. I could use some friends to help encourage me or maybe you are also in this position and need a like minded friend. It starts today.

Having a supportive husband is HUGE. And you will find support here. And your doctor should have resources to a support group and therapist who can help you. Or your insurance company might have resources.0

Try walking in the morning a mile or two and eat healthy foods. Sounds like you have been through alot it will take time for you to feel better. If you smoke stop. Trust me I used to smoke and now I feel so much better!!0

Thankfully I never smoked I think walking and exercise will really help. I will be out and about a lot at least.0

I was the same still have the odd moment but I'm more aware of what is happening now and can control it better. Long story but basically I've had about 10 years of yo yo diets and crash diets etc and just formed a really bad relationship with food.. I've found I am much better if I don't let myself get too hungry balanced meals and eating breakfast r my saviors. I used to not eat all day (thinking I would loose weight) and would end up staving and prone to binges. Actually got diagnosed with bed a couple of years ago alongside postnatal depression and anxiety. Put on anti depressants and left too it. They didn't help and I piled on more pounds. I hope u get more support. I'm pleased to say I'm generally much better now
Add me if u like I would love to support you through this x0 -
Thanks for sharing I sent you a request I think maybe the not eating well throughout the day really didn't help my cause. I ate much better today I will add breakfast in tomorrow I just woke up late today.0
