Weight Issues

[Sazza]

Hi,

I am having issues with my weight at moment, i have gained weight due to my exercise routine falling aside due to anxiety issues and depression. Whilst i have kept some exercise up it is minimal compared to what normally do. Plus at present i am off work and sitting around alot compared to being on go all day at work. Also my eating is never fantastic as i am a fussy eater but been eating all wrong lately.

My weight has got to point though were i am disgusted with myself, i feel phsycially sick by it. I am having a mental battle with my head at moment part me wants to seriously restrict my intake as i hate being like this but i know that not right thing to do. I know need get back exercise proper but lost so much fitness it disheartening and hard gain back plus the citalopram been started on making me lack want do anything feel so depressed but know it can cause weight gain. So now i am thinking of weighing myself daily to keep check on this as my weight causes me so much misery as it is.

Guess i just needed a rant. Just to add i don't have an eating disorder as such and i am officially overweight and have battled with my weight all my life so obviously some issues there.

Hi Sazza - I only joined a few mins ago but I sypathise with you! I have put on about a stone in the past 2 months (when I got PTSD) because I am hardly going out now and miss my brisk walks and cycle rides. A couple of friends have walked with me a few times but I need to get back to walking fast with my music in my ears!

I haven't gone mad with the eating but I guess I am just a person who needs to exercise to keep their weight in check.

Thanks penny welcome. I'm the same re exercise whilst put weight on my shape majorly changed and body fat due to lack exercise. I use to run alot can't even run mile at minute frustrating. I know need get doing things again especially for my physical and mental health but the get and go is not there, motivation never use be problem when comes exercise was most motivated person strict but loss enjoyment and the depression these Meds seemed to made me worse.

Hope things improve for you soon penny.

And you too Sazza. This time of year I'm normally cycling around everywhere and loving it! I tell you my bike might as well be buried in concrete. I went out to the bike shed the other day and my legs just turned to jelly and I shut the door again. I am hoping to get over this soon because it's such a waste of all this lovely weather.
