Help! Inspiration/ motivation/ advice needed

[LoLa1980]

I really need some help.

My current weight is nearly 18 stone. I'm 32 years old, have been separated for nearly 3 years with two boys. 3 years ago I weighed 17.3 and I did LT and lost 8 stone. I was over the moon. I had never felt so good.

When me n hubby split I went into a deep depression and the weight has just piled on. I am devastated. I recently lost my job so the only time I go out is to take the boys to school and pick them up. I'm too ashamed and embarrassed to go out in public so my only ' pleasure' is food!!!

I really hate what I've turned into, and I really, really need to change! But I just don't know how to! I have tried to do L T at least 10 times over the past few months but have only lasted til dinner! I feel such a failure! How can I get to the ' place' where I can succeed?

Any advice would be so much appreciated. Thank you.

Lola, think how much better u feel when u don't give up - think about how u felt when u lost all that weight before - amazing achievement. It's hard, u know it is, but u have done it before and u can again, and lastly join our thread, called new starter, a couple above this. We are all fairly new n banter along n help each other, have a read n see if we could help u on the journey xx
Meeting those guys on there has helped me so much, only on day 6 but I doubt I would have got there without their support - I got thro the weekend n I feel great for that!!! Feel much better than if I would have given in.... U get it? U feel worse by failing, succeeding will give u a much better feeling inside :-)

You can do this, you know how it feels to be slim, you have been through a lot and now its your time, just take one day at a time, and keep in touch, good luck

Well, I have taken the plunge. Today is day 1! I pray I can stick to it this time, I really do! I've still got some left so I'll go to the chemist when I run out to get officially weighed. I was weighed at the drs last week and was 17.11 ;-(

You can definately do it, at least you have started again rather than giving up altogether!!

You can do it I am finding it hard now a week on but I got to keep going didn't think I would be able to last a day never mind a week and I have done it. The pleasure u have when you get weighed and find out how much you have lost is amazing!! I cannot wait till more weigh ins now!! I have not done any program like this in my life. Glad I know about it! This forum is great I love it. Glad I found this too. Everyone is lovely on here. Xx
