I'm struggling at work atm

Lounge

I feel so much pressure on me with national inspections etc.

And being overweight atm affecting my confidence and physical work ability

I find it hard to ask my family for emotional support.

I don’t know why.

Does anyone have similar problems and how do you overcome such an inhibition?

I’m sorry to hear this @Zoe. It sounds like a lot of pressure. I don’t have any good advice really, sorry. Are your holidays soon? Does that feel like a positive thing to focus on?

You are not overweight.

Not severely like you make it seem.

You post a thousand selfies so we all know what you look like.

You’re average.

You may want to be thinner, but I highly doubt you’re at the point where it’s impacting your work.

And constantly saying you’re fat when you’re not probably makes other people who struggle with their weight feel worse.

Bringing it up all the time is not helping your confidence.

I suggest you start some sort of affirmations to help increase your self esteem.

Thanks Fevertotell.

My holiday starts this Wednesday which is a big relief. I’m hoping I miss the inspection to be honest. I’m so afraid of letting the hospital down.

I do need to train someone to do my job tomorrow which is kind of a big thing and I guess that’s another thing I’m worrying about.

The perks of being a perfectionist :sleepy:

Clinically I am overweight. And yes that is unhealthy for me, personally. I know because I can feel it…

However it is not relatively severe weight and I am working on it so…

All is well

I hope, lol!!!

If 10 people would say you have an average weight and 1 would call you fat. Who would you believe?

But it is about how I feel in myself. What I know my normal set point to be. Plus,

No one here has seen me naked :sleepy:

But yes I’m working on it so it’s fine, hopefully

There is pressure from media yes, like on many people.

But at the end of the day, my national health service even tells me that I’m at risk of disease

Being clinically overweight

Thus

I feel more confident that I’m not being delusional
