I am 29 year old male, well 30 next month.
I come from a family who are all on the chunky side, although when I was a teenager I managed to keep my weight down.
As life has gone on, I have struggled with my weight since being about 22, I also suffer from depression, and social anxiety.
I am desperate to lose weight as it is ruining my life, I am miserable, and all I think about 24/7 is my weight, and the more upset I get, the more I eat, I have tried all diets and had most success on Slimfast, losing 3 stones, but one hiccup, and I threw it all back on and 2 more stones besides! I think the strictness of Slimfast helped me, as meals were simple and easy with no recipes and points systems.
I quit smoking for 4 years and recently just started again, but I am really struggling with my chest, I am so out of breath all the time, ten times worse than before I started smoking again a few months back, so now I am in a pickle! I gained 5 stones when I quit smoking 4 years ago, and now I am stuck, fat and smoking! I need to quit but what about the diet? People tell me that a diet and quit smoking the same time is impossible, but I dont know what to do. If I quit I worry I will replace it with more food like I did before, but if I focus purely on the diet, the smoking is still ten times more dangerous than being fat! I've got myself in a right mess and wondered if anyone had advice. I booked myself in the doctors for help to quit smoking again, but the diet..... I dunno!
I want to be happy for the first time in my life and I make it all worse. I want to buy nice clothes I like rather than what fits me and settling. I dont want a six pack, I dont care what my body looks like I just want to be thinner lol.
