I've just restarted Couch to 5K and really feeling it in my shins which I've never felt before. Any tips? I have good trainers etc
Hello all,
I’m new to the thread and very new to calorie counting!
Im a past SW-er with a tendency to binge eat after restricting myself so much.. hoping to gain a better relationship with food and have fun whilst doing so!
Any tips or advice welcome! Starting a whole new concept of eating is really scary!!
Thank you I would be happy if even losing 1lb week and going in right direction.Bless you, it’s so frustrating! I’m in the same boat. I seem to hover over the same weight for week or two, always going a little up or a little down regardless of my efforts. However then I seem to go down by 0.4 or more kg in what feels overnight. That’s exactly what happened in the last 2 months when I went from 71kg to 7.5 and then to 69.9 and yesterday down to 69.55. Just wanted to say, hang in there and keep doing what you are doing and it will pay off eventually. I wouldn’t go on a stricter diet as your hubby says, just do what feels manageable to you right now or you will dvd up in a cycle of underrating and overeating. Sending hugs xx
It's the age old dilemma, keep the face or keep the figure.I’m feeling so out of control over this weight gain. Because I’m still slim I feel like I can’t bring it up to friends/family without seeming insensitiveYes I know it’s not the end of the world going from an 8 to a 10 but to me it’s a big deal! My weight has been so steady over the last 5 years and now I feel like it’s just spiralling. I don’t feel like my eating habits have changed that much, but I know it’s probably something that’s been happening slowly over the past year.
I was going through some old clothes earlier and found a skirt I never wore when I bought it in 2018. At the time it was too big for me so I just shoved it in a cupboard thinking one day I’d alter it. I just tried it on and it’s now too tightI think I needed the shock to push me a bit more. The problem is as they always say when you get older you have to chose body or face, I’m only 32 but I feel when I’m slimmer my face looks older and more gaunt. When I have a bit of weight on I actually prefer my face… I just can’t live with this belly! It’s one or the other and at the moment I think I’d rather look skinny and old than chunky and young… but I’ll probably change my mind again. Grass is always greener!
Yup! So sick of it nowI’m struggling. Since Christmas I haven’t really been strict and most definitely not in a deficit. Probably maintenance for most of the time but the past two months have been awful. I’ve been binging so much. I definitely have issues with using food as a coping mechanism.
I haven’t weighed myself as I know it will make me more upset but my jeans certainly don’t fit the same and I’d hazard a guess at about half a stone gain. I know it doesn’t sound much but I’m scared I’m going to continue piling it on. I’m so angry with myself as I was only half a stone off my target at Christmas and now I’m more like a stone.
in the past 2 years I’ve gained and lost the same two 1/2 stone three times. It seems endless.
it feels like I’ll never get a grip on this binge eating. Yesterday I ate around 4000 calories. Yes I’m one of those weirdos that logs binges too! I have to hold myself accountable somehow.
Is anyone else similar ??
it’s awful isn’t it. I’ve been like this since a teenager. Eat when I’m depressed, sad, anxious. Don’t know how to ever break the cycleYup! So sick of it now
