Pandemic Weight gain 🙁

Hi! I'm Viva, I'm new here. Over the last two years I have gained 12kgs. Been trying unsuccessfully to lose the weight over the last few months but struggling to stay consistent.
I could use some support, motivation and maybe some friends on the same journey. I'm 34. Before the pandemic I enjoyed a more active lifestyle and enjoyed exercise, but it has gotten less and less frequent and now it's hard to motivate myself to exercise at all. I do want to start again, gain more strength and hopefully be in better spirits 🙂 I would also like to build a better relationship with food and better handle my auto immune condition.
I struggle with consistency and discipline the most so I hope this can keep me accountable on my journey ♥️
