Feel like crying.

I've just come across my weight chart from this time last year, when I was trying to lose weight. I thought I was fat then and I actually weigh 3.5 stone MORE now than I did then. I can't believe I've let myself get to the size I am. I'd give anything to be how I was a year ago and to be able to wear jeans and the pretty dresses I have stuffed in boxes.

I know where I've gone wrong - obviously the eating, but falling madly in love this year and getting too comfortable with eating habits and sitting in front of the tv.

I know that now is the time to change but I feel overwhelmed at the amount I've put on. So close to tears right now

Just feel like I needed a little vent!

It happens to the best of us... the first step is admitting you have a problem. You've done that, so now you can move towards change and a better you. It's possible... you can do it!!

I understand some of how you feel - I have just started back at the gym and I found my previous health and fitness logs and I saw how healthy I was, doing things like the training for my 5k then the 10k - and I let it slide - I was close to tears - but I am using that to motivate myself that I already know I can do it - and I didn't know about MFP then so the food side is so much easier.

The last two times I did it on my own without this extra support - so this time - regardless of how overwhelming the thought is at times - it's better than not being aware of what I can gain by sticking at it.

I don't know if that helps or not?

Thankyou both. I've just had a little cry and I guess I've just got to get on with it now. I'm shocked and devestated at how quick it's piled on and I can't help but wonder what other people think of me too.

Really grateful for MFP right now.
