I clearly have a problem. I dont know if its because Im stressed out about life and work or what ..but I've been overeating big time. Its not even that I eat because Im hungry.. I literally will grab ANYTHING just to feel like I'm feeling a void. Ive gained about 30lbs in the 3 months and i feel miserable! I used to weigh 250lbs my whole teens and early 20s.. I got down to 165lbs about 3 years ago and loved my body and I have just let myself go.. I swore I would never be fat again (250lbs) ..I'm only 5'2.. I literally can't stand looking at myself in the mirror, I don't feel sexy, I hide in my clothes (Sweats all day). I want to feel like my old self and get this under control so I can feel sexy again. Not just for myself but for my hubby.
I need advice/support ..anything.. I have a home gym..I tell myself I'll work out "today" and it never happens, I always have an excuse

I would try to talk to someone about my void, see how I can fill it with out foods.
Then I would visit reddit's get motivated page. I know it might sound silly, but going on there reminds me to get my butt in gear.
There isn't anything someone can say or do for you, you need to find the fire and the passion within yourself to work hard. That is how this will happen, pure will power practice. But it doesn't need to be all or nothing, start with the tiniest of things. "Today, I will walk on the treadmill for 15 minutes." "Today I will walk on the treadmill for 15 minutes, AND log all of my food."
"I'm not there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday." Everyday, strive to me a little bit closer to your goals and then suddenly you will be there.0
