Hello Peeps - I'm looking for some support

First of all start by taking one day at a time. I'm sorry, I know your trainer is an expert but if you are feeling him, let it go! You have to find what works for you. I am 55 years old and I think I have been on a diet since I was young. I have six children. It took me a long time but I am no longer on a diet. I started by changing my eating habits. I started with instead of eating two helpings eat one. Then I went to smaller servings. I eat on a small plate, and I have done better know because I am tracking what I am eating. I have tried so many different programs for exercising, I could start my own personal gym, but I was not feeling it. When you are not feeling something you are not motivated to go. What I do now is walk and I love it. Start there, and as you lose then you may find other things that interest you. You may even find another trainer that pleases you and work with you well. Everything is trial and error. Everyone is different and maybe the trainer is doing what worked for someone else and that does not fit you. Good luck but whatever you do, don't quit. Every small success is a success. Listen to your body not everyone else. You can do this!
