Losing weight: what am I doing wrong?

Diet Club

I find myself asking more often than not, what am I doing wrong? We are told to cut out fat, exercise, walk, eat vegetables. Well, I have weighed 135kg since I had my first son. I lived in an area then that was populated with fast food outlets and I admit that when I went to a bakery, I would make up a name for who the other cream bun was for. I have now lived in a rural area for two years and I believe I eat healthily. Healthier than most of the people I associate with. This is what raises my doubts.

I have lost 16 inches off my body and instead of being a size 26-28, I am now a size 18-22. However, I still weigh 135kg. I have tried many different scales and it’s so disheartening to hear people complain about weighing 100kg when I can’t crack 120kg. I don’t believe there is anything that you can tell me that I don’t already know or don’t already do. Get off my butt and eat right, you may say? Done it and am doing it.

How much of a woman’s body is predisposed by genetics? By saying this I am not giving up or finding an excuse as I am much too young for the fashion of ‘larger woman’. I have now decided that my last hope is to join a sporting team despite my EE-size breasts. Hopefully, that will crack the code of the everlasting 130+kg scales.
