Hey! Does anyone else just replay every stupid thing they have said throughout the day over and over in their mind? I can't go a day without doing this!! I'm so sick of it.

Im happy yet just lack so much confidence! I have a great life and I most likely don't need to be posting on this forum but you know here I am. I suck at writing things and can't punctuate for the life of me so please forgive me.

I try so hard to be great and I guess that's what gets me down. I I struggle so much with my weight and I make so many excuses. I am overweight and it sickens me, but then I will happily eat my body weight in food if I'm feeling crappy about my weight. Why would I do that?

Thanks for reading xx

Oh wow more useful information thank you! I have lost around 23kg since the beginning of this year but I have come to a point where I'm finding it super hard to loose anymore. Massive thank you so everyone because I feel all your tips will help me loose more weight and to get my confidence back!!

So sorry to hear about you and your partner. I was only thinking the other day how grateful I am that I have had a mental illness in the past. I was in a really bad state about a year and a half ago (suicidal). I have now realised that it was the worse thing that has ever happened to me yet the best thing as well. My friend has recently been diagnosed with depression and I am so glad that I can actually understand what she is going through and help. It is such a horrible thing mental illness!!!!! So please don't get me wrong anyone who reads this! I just am so happy I got through everything and can now help others.

Thank you everyone for your support xx

Life Hi darl, what a great positive post, so happy for you with your weight loss, it's a very hard addiction to beat but the rewards as you'd know from that loss is sooo worth it aye.
Don't put pressure on yourself I've found, I've basically been a yr pretty bad but having the odd times that are good oops but maintaining (that spelling doesn't look right) loss with excercise, that or I'm sick but feel fine so must be that.
Good for you taking it on board too.

Thanks for your compassion to loss of my darling, yeah it's not bloody fair is it, there's mongrels out there that hurt people and keep going pfffttttt. Miss him so much.

HI Life555. It is great you have 25kg! congratulation. That is a big achievement. Half the battle is maintaining a weightloss but sounds like you have been the same weight (with the weight-loss) for a little bit (sorry if I am incorrect). What you are going through sounds a platoe in weight-loss. It is a normal thing to go through. It can be really frustrating thought if your goals is still a little more. Sometimes a change up in exercise (e.g. if you run 30 mins every day, maybe run 30 mins one day followed by weight baring exercise the next etc). I also sometimes try increase my vegetable intake and make sure I eat when I'm hungry not when I'm bored. Remember weight loss doesn't mean you have to go hungry. That is completely wrong. Please make sure you get a regular dr check up to make sure your nutrients (e.g iron) is all fine 🙂 I like to do this every now and again myself because I have had iron deficiency in the past.

Remember to not be too hard on yourself. Slow and steady wins the race. And love yourself as you are. It is hard to do sometimes (especially with mental illness and poor self esteem). I also try do a body confidence and self esteem meditation on an app called calm
