needing inspiration and help

Leila2289

Hi All,

I am really tired of being overweight and feel very discouraged. I used to be about 120 lbs and have gained so much weight since then. I really just need some support because I feel very frustrated and like it is going to take forever to take weight off. I really struggle with food and eat junk to make myself feel better. Just reaching out for support.

Hey there. The key is discipline and consistency! When we want something bad enough, anything is achievable so long as we push ourselves! Keep your chin up and keep moving forward. Find those little things to keep you on track☺️ all the best on your journey. Feel free to add me.

Hey Leila, what are you currently doing to help you shift some weight? If you want some help, let me know

From one emotional eater to another, shift your focus off losing weight. Take small baby steps, add one serving of veges a day, do a 10 minute walk, don't snack after dinner, eat nutritious meals that are satisfying etc. I was totally crushed emotionally, 40kg overweight, had no goals and just hated what I'd let myself become. I found a gym class that I love, met a personal trainer who believed in me, and slowly but surely I got my mojo back. I don't diet as such (just started 5:2 fasting), still pig out occasionally (but not every day and don't beat myself up about it), did lots of reading about nutrition (want to avoid type 2 diabetes like my sister), and am super proud of the killer workouts I can now do (45 commando planks today - could only do 10 last month). You are worth it. Just keep going.
