I lost weight, and I've gained nearly all of it back (4 stone) over the last two years. I can't fathom having the same commitment, but I desperately want to lose again. Please, any advice.

Hi guys!

I'm sorry if this has been posted somewhat before. I'm just desperate now, and I'm not sure where to go or who to talk to.

I lost a lot of weight a few years ago, and overall lost around 4 stone. I felt a lot better, but my mental health is a massive factor in my daily life. And, as I'm sure many have experienced here, the pandemic/lockdown has exasperated a lot of issues.

I've not gained the full 4 stone back, but I'm getting close. I feel terrible. I can't look in a mirror. My back and knee (old injury) has also contributed to the weight gain, as I've been in a lot of pain with it. I'm seeking physio for it and have been for a while now, but I want to start losing weight again.

Everytime I start however, I always, ALWAYS drop it. I lose a bit, get demotivated/hate the food I'm eating (low cal/less sugar), and eventually just... give up. It's happened multiple times and everytime after I always end up gaining a little bit more than I started with. I have no idea how I did it the first time - I was on slimming world and was so strict, now I barely have the tenacity to stick to something for a week.

Please can someone give me advice - I don't know what to eat, how to be consistent etc. It's like I've forgotten everything.

Thanks for reading my rant :(
