What a wake up call.
I lost all of my excess weight this year. From last August to February I went from obese to a healthy bmi. Well, corona hit and ....... I totally gave up.
I tried to fight it,but fear took over and I just stopped caring.
Here I am 1 year later right where I started. I was with my 7 year old daughter putting groceries away today and she looked me up and down and said: "man, you need to go to the gym!"
I was shocked and said "what do you mean?"
She kind of looked embarrassed and said "oh, uh, daddy says he needs to go"
Nah. I know she meant me. She jut felt guilty and tried to back track.
I feel horrible because 1 year ago I promised her by now I'd be at a healthy weight and taking them fun places like hiking and the park.
My husband came home a while ago and I couldn't hide it any longer. I burst into tears and told him what she said and that I couldn't believe how out of control I'd gotten.
He was sweet to me but also told me the truth. Basically things I didn't want to hear. I have been eating bad. Very bad. Comfort eating. Stress eating and the worst, eating in hiding. Maybe I have a problem, idk, but I managed to lose weight before and I want to do it again.
But with this pandemic, I don't know how. I have a very bad habit of eating while stressed (and I have a very stressful work at home job plus take care of 3 kids).
Last time the kids were in school and work wasn't as hard so....its different.
Probably excuses but I just need help breaking out of this rut I'm in.
I don't know what else to say or what this post even is. Probably a cry for help. I'm short, only 5"1 and I'm back up to 170+ pounds..... I was almost 128 in February.....f@#$k!
I'm angry but I want to fix this
