Similar to some other posts I have read. Late 30's, two kids and a really supportive husband. In 2012 I thought I was a miserable overweight girl at 200 pounds at 5'3". I joined WW and got down to 179 by May of that year. Then my mom, who lives with us, had several health issues (concussion, catheterization, seizure) and my then 7 yr old was diagnosed with anxiety/ocd and by the end of that year she was medicated. I gained all the weight back and continued to pile it on. I am at 223 as of this morning. Now I would kill to be back at 200. I noticed the moment I went over the 200 pound mark a ton of different issues hit me...snoring, insomnia, plantar fasciatis and more. Prior to joining WW I had joined a gym and was very committed. 6-7 days a week, cardio, weight training etc. I had been measured by the staff and after 12 weeks went to be measured again. I wasn't looking forward to it and I was right. No loss, no reduction in body fat, no inches gone and I had also been eating right (lower carbs, whole grains, more veggies, etc.). Even the trainer was stumped. It sent me into a spiral. Most recently I did a 30 day challenge which included meditation, positivity and cardio every day. Again not a single pound off in 30 days. It was disheartening. I have had thyroid checked and all other blood work was good as of my last tests earlier this year. I am not on any medications, so those side effects are not an option. It is so hard to dedicate myself to anything when i just assume no results will be seen. Also - my husband although very slender and athletic (he is a PT instructor for a police academy) does not eat ANY veggies or fruit. He is a meat and potatoes guy (pizza sauce and OJ only exceptions). It is so hard on a budget to plan appropriate food for me and also stuff he wants. Also I really do not like salads and water is a chore for me also. I do my best and eat/drink them bc I should. I can typically get about 48 oz of water in a day. I sit at a desk all day in a small office, so there is very little activity for the bulk of the day. I am convinced that I am so stressed about my little girl and mom and life in general that my body won't let me lose weight, but maybe that is just an excuse too. By the time I get home and deal with whatever is the issue of the day with my daughter, I am beat and I want to sit on the couch and do nothing. I think maybe it is not enough exercise. I just don't know what to do or how to motivate myself. I want to be healthier for my kids and set an example and be around for a long time. I also don't want to be embarrassed to go out with my husband. I am already shy and have social phobias so the weight just makes it that much worse. Any words of advice, encouragement, suggestions on weight mgmt options that have worked for you would be appreciated. Thanks.
