Hi
I completed foundation last year and lost 5st, I managed to maintain until this March when I had loads of stress in my life.
I was given notice of redundancy from my job of 8 years. Fortunately I've now got another job but can't seem to stop eating (mainly when I get home from work) - I don't understand why as I'm now more settled. Anyway to cut a long story short I've put on 19 pounds. I'm going back to group meetings next week but I feel such a failure - I'm absolutely dreading stepping on the scales, especially as I'd managed to keep the weight off and thought I finally had control of my weight.
I find it impossible to explain this to anyone else, you know the feelings of shame etc. I'm still exercising but don't want to go to the gym in case I see anyone I know and I look in the mirror and I hate what I see.
Phew - I didn't realise until I started typing how much I needed to get that off my chest!
I used to come on the forum last year and found it very supportive.
