Weight Loss and Depression

Hi Wave tone1 it’s been a while since I posted but I thought I would post now since I need your help and support.

I’ve been fed up with my weight and I wanted to make a change. So on the 28th of March I started this coaching with a woman call Liv from LivWell. Everything is great, you can eat the things you love and she concentrates on Cals, Fat, Carbs & Protein. I felt like this was a great fit for me (being autistic), but today I was speaking to my mum and brother and even though they are supporting me they are also worried and told me to be careful.

With LivWell you sign up on the website, answer all these questions. You then speak to a member of the team to understand everything etc.
You pay £30 fee to start as well as £120 for a month. I thought this was a great deal, but after speaking with my mum and brother (who has done something similar) I now have doubts…

I can’t cancel my subscription until I have done 4 months (it says in the contract), so I’m stuck with them for another 3 months. But just working out the ingredients I bought and a protein powder I bought, I have already spent £222.04 SobSob.

All I want to do is lose weight so bad SobSob and even though Liv is understanding and she has chosen foods that I would like, I just feel depressed right now. I was fine when I started but now I feel like I will have no money to get ingredients for some of the meals SobSob.

I just don’t know what to do anymore, I love food but I also don’t want to spend a fortune. But I just don’t understand how to lose weight it’s just confusing to my autistic brain especially when it comes to cooking. I’m 30 for christs sake and I can’t do the simpler adult things SobSob x
