Just Weighed myself. Big Mistake

2020 I was stable at 69 kg for the whole year

2021 I have gone to 72 kg, then 76kg then 81kg now I am 86kg

I am only 10kg off my heaviest now

Since I stopped Landscaping I have been much less active…

But really, I have no reason to try and look slim any more.

I am 34 not 24.

When I was 24 I was only 59 kilos.

Really sucks, as I want to maintain my weight, but this seems impossible

Have gone from low to excessive weight more than 5 times now.

My body is constantly changing

I would try to focus on health and maintain a healthy BMI.

You now the drill.

I just don’t understand how I have put on that much weight

My clothes all still fit me

That’s practical. It’s expensive to buy an entire new wardrobe.

I gave my fat clothes back to charity as I thought I’d cracked the weight issue

Goes to show how easy it is to let it slip

In the new year I will get back to swimming and do plenty of dog walks

I gained weight too. It is pretty annoying to say the least.

I just got too caught up in work stress and thus binge eating

What about you have you actually been eating more

I know you mentioned less activity

My diet has changed very little.

This is why the confusion comes in as I thought food in-take was the biggest thing

There is a balance I think, as I enjoy my food, and I don’t want to cut it all back

I hope so, but I am not going to try and fight it back this time.

Just going to live and accept for who I am

Have ongoing body image problems.

I thought I was disgusting at 69 kilos, and now I am so disgusted I have no fight left in me to challenge it :frowning:

Oh gosh mate, I used to be obsessed with dieting. I was never happy even thin, the obsession had control OVER ME.
But the second you just accept your probably not going to be skinny again you chill and its easier to maintain weight or lose it naturally with healthyoptions and a bit of exercise.
Try to appreciate that everyone is going look different, we’re not all carbon copies thank god

I wish you all the best mate and I enjoy all your posts!

That’s good advice @anon67605327

And thank you :slight_smile:

Part of my new look will be the return of my beard.

I got it to LOTR style before - so that’s what I am shooting for

Good plan. I’m in my forties so I’ve went more conservatively dressed but I’ve kept my hair the same blonde. No more short dresses for me :laughing: just gotta try and grow old gracefully with some dignity in tact haha

Weight is just a number. Either be happy or sad about it.

If you are happy about your weight then continue what you’re doing or eating.

If you are sad about your weight then do something about your current lifestyle or eating.

Your diet was fine for when you had an active job. Now that you don’t you need to look at changing the diet or consuming less of it. That or it’s treadmill time.

Sorry mate.
