Isn’t this body meant to be suffused with ancient biological wisdom or something? I know losing weight is hard, but come on, just because I didn’t ride a bicycle since seven days ago does not mean we don’t need those leg muscles any more. There’s plenty of fat left. Look, it’s that flabby bit right there. Use that up first.

I’ve added flax seeds to my diet, maybe that will help.

    Understadable, it can be challenging! My advice, other than to keep at it long term, is don’t stress about doing it ‘right’! The best thing is to have that regular exercise in your life. It doesn’t matter if you have on-off spells, just focus on getting yourself going again after the off spells and make a routine if that fits your personality.

    Don’t count calories as a way to see if your doing well enough (it can be handy for some people to do as a means of organising their health drive though), and don’t judge your achievement on your weight - muscle weighs more than fat so be sure to take that into account if you do weigh yourself regularly. If you need a measure, use the amount of time spent exercising, whether light or more strenuous, keeping it going will be the best benefit.

    You can also be fit and healthy without being skinny, slim or toned! And lastly, try to find that exercise you can get whilst enjoying yourself.

    Hope I’m not teaching you everything you already know!! :)
