[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 5’11 and 240#. Ive crept up to a size 16.

I’m just a fat mom and I hate it. I should have all the motivation in the world: I hate the way I look, low energy, want to healthier for my kids, my husband, etc. I’m by far the fattest person in my family, extended and immediate, which is shameful to me. I shouldn’t have done this to myself.

We eat really well. My issue is overeating sugar and binges. Is it the solution simple: don’t buy sugary snacks????

I tried WW but didn’t like it. I’ve done challenges (whole30). 
I know it’s 1# at a time. Where do people find the motivation?

First of all, accept yourself where you are. When people talk about fat acceptance, this is one of the things they’re talking about. Accept yourself, first because that’s just the right thing to do. Because being fat doesn’t make you a bad person. Second, because when you hate yourself, you treat yourself poorly.

Binges: stop binging. No seriously, that’s it. Decide you are done. There was a book recommended here about how to stop binging, only it was tedious as those books tend to be. The crux of it was that when you have decided that you are done binging, you just stop. Your lizard brain will try to convince you you to - you don’t. When you’re done binging, you’re done binging. You’re in charge. (I’m eight years out from my last binge).

And yeah, you don’t buy sugar anymore. It’s not for you, except where you really want it (holidays, getting ice cream at the lake with your kids, etc). [/quote]
