[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s nearly impossible to lose weight starting at 300 pounds and keep it off. I would look into weight loss surgery. It is often covered by insurance. [/quote]

Not true. I've done it and maintained for years.  But you have to do a complete overhaul of basically your life. It requires learning how to eat right long term, it requires coping mechanisms to prevent over eating, it requires a commitment to fitness. OP may lose 20-30 pounds by eating 1000 calories a day, but it will all come back because it's not a long term plan. There are no excuses when you're trying to lose that much weight without surgery.

I'm only trying to get to my pre-pregnancy weight of 240. Long-term, I need to find an office job that will keep me from snacking. WFH has been hell on every part of my body. Gained 120 pounds since I started 15 years ago because the kitchen is RIGHT there.[/quote]

Disagree-that's only ten pounds a year. Very easy to gain that.[/quote]

Maybe for a couple yrs..but after you’ve gone up more than 2 clothing sizes or so it is no longer a matter of an extra snack here and there.  That is mental illness going on[/quote]

I explained in another post that it's also keeping up my college athlete/military husband. He eats total garbage, and though I do 99% of the grocery shopping, if he brings crap in, I'll eat it. I did a lot better when I lived alone and was too lazy to go the store and buy unhealthy food. Besides, even eating apples, you'll gain if you eat too many.

And yes, maybe I'm depressed. WFH is no joke, it's emotionally destructive, and the isolation does a number on the mind. But there's no cure for that except a new job, which I'm actively working on. It's hard when most companies are remote because of covid, though. And now that I'm fat, I'm unlikely to be hired for anything in-person (my second job is minimum wage). But like I said, I'm actively searching and have leads out.[/quote]

Sorry but there is no rationale excuse for gaining 120 lbs. WFH and your DH are not to blame, at all.  You really need to figure out what is going on with you that you could allow that to happen and keep progressing [/quote]
