Feeling bit upset.

I used to be the size I wanted to be. 

Just before lockdown I had put on some weight, then during lockdown I put on more weight. 

I have started loosing weight and am on the right track. I know that I will never be this weight again. 

Have several dress sizes to go. 

I have lots of lovely clothes in the size I used to be (my goal size). and just a few clothes in my current size that are not my style at all and I don't like them, just bought them because they fit!

Usually go for a walk every day to help with loosing the weight, but felt it too warm to hide under a jacket, so have just not bothered going for my walk. total panic attack I guess. 

I can do an indoor exercise routine to day to make up for lack of walk. 

just for some reason felt so overwhelmed and so upset I ever put on all this weight. 

i have family that live not too far from where I am located at the moment, and have not seen them for a few years, so I am aware that they could drive past me and just gossip about my weight (some are not very nice that way). 

I have some other issues that are going on in my life too, and gosh, just felt like sitting down and crying.

    I try to explain that it's due with running (don't go anymore); also got a friend who is a wheelchair user and said it's muscle.

    Thought I had a thyroid problem. Make a GP appointment, to rule this out?

    Manufacturers clothes sizes come out different, trying to explain to people and don't listen.

    Some celebrities are getting trolled online about weight issues. Seen weight loss adverts before 9pm which is sending out the wrong messages.  I may write to ITV, sky and channel 4 about this. Also void certain magazines.

    Also family member does buy high cholesterol food which not supposed to have.

    Beat UK may have some information. Meant for eating disorders, found it helpful during lock down.

    Hope this helps you.
