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.
There are girls bigger than me, out in their shorts and tee-shirts/summer clothes, and they dont bother, they look happy for being out in the sunshine. and have such more confidence than I . they look just fine in their summer clothes, trendy in fact.
I wish I had that level of confidence. need to work on that.
Thanks everyone who contributed.
