[QUOTE="Nkbgwti24, post: 2348923, member: 535431"] Hi. I’m a 22 year old female & just this year alone I went from being 8 stone to 11 stone. I honestly didn’t even notice until everyone started picking at me looking “fatter than normal.” I have struggled with gaining weight for years but now that I have, it’s unhealthy weight from binge eating & doing no exercise/hardly any movement. I don’t have a job, I don’t go to uni because of the pandemic, I literally just sit and lounge around all day (love depression!) but now I’m getting worried as it’s very clearly visible on me that I am gaining weight. I have rang my gp to get a diabetes/glucose test as I’ve been getting recurrent thrush and I think it’s the sugar that’s causing it. I’m not drinking fizzy drinks but am eating a lot of sweets and ice cream. (Comfort food [IMG]https://static.thestudentroom.co.uk/5fbcd35206bf3/forum/images/smilies/frown.png[/IMG] ) I have been wanting to cut these foods/snacks out of my diet but no matter what happens, even after a full meal I will always find myself reaching for something sugary. I want to start some form of exercise but my anxiety says otherwise. There is literally a field in less than a 5 minute walk where I can go for running and I’d like too aswell but I’m so nervous and I don’t know why. I don’t know where to start and what to do. Any recommendations on how to get myself into a healthier lifestyle? What can I do, where can I start, how can I start? [/QUOTE]
