Workout??!

Hello! So in the past months I've been gaining weight. I hadn't really realized that since I don't have any full body mirrors at home hahaha but a few weeks ago I tried to put on some jeans and didn't fit me anymore. It made me feel so sad and ugly, so I've been trying to work out on a regular basis but I just can't find the energy to do so.

Do you work out regularly? Can you give some advice on how to achieve it? Thanks for reading me

PCOS and strech marks as my scars

I was a small girl that came from a broken family. I was great in hiding this fact, until I became 13 years old.
I had a very skinny body, then I gained about 25 kg in one year because of PCOS. This huge hormonal change left me with many strech marks, dark spots and body shame. I am not sick anymore but deep inside I think I am ugly. I hate to touch my marks. I hate my body fats. Even after losing weight I still feel that I am in a bad shape. I can't accept what happened. I have not heal from this yet.

Feelings of shame for my body

Trigger warning : Self mutalation and weight issues

Does anyone ever feel like they can’t change how they feel about their body?
I feel like I hate my body .
I feel like I can’t change how I feel about it
I feel like it’s ugly and scar covered and stretch mark filled from gaining weight .
I feel like I could just take a pair of scissors and cut off all the fat on my body... on my arms and on my stomach.
I try not to overeat as much but I’m finding when I’m away from work and home to myself with the tv and the idea of snacking so much.
I find the urge when i run out of snacks to not rush to the store to get some chips or something. I don’t eat it all at once but I do enjoy to snack and eat a little bit of them here and there .
I know this probably sounds really messed up but for some reason I just feel like I need to change . I struggle with the idea of exercising and working out to help me lose the weight.

#52SmallThings
Today was my first full day after dropping my husband off at the airport. He’ll be in Salt Lake City until the 11th. I must confess, I did spend most of the day on the couch. But I did: take a shower (skipped the hair), put on clean lounge clothes, and did the dishes that were on the counter. I just kinda snacked around, but I’m actively trying to pay attention to what I’m eating, bc usually when I’m home #alone for a while, I stress/boredom eat. So I was proud that I ate 1/2 of the frozen pizza instead of 7/8.
The hardest thing is my sugar addiction. It makes me bitchy when I can’t find anything sweet. I’m now trying to eat graham crackers/Nilla wafers instead of full-blown chocolate cookies. It’s a big step for me.
When we first got married, I was 188lbs. I lost the weight the wrong way ( #Starved myself all day, then had dinner that I cooked with my husband). I got down to 125, to where they said to gain a little but. I’m 5’6”. Now that we’ve moved again, I gained all that weight back- hovering around 190. It freaks me out and I can barely look in the mirror. I need to get down to my goal of 135.
I don’t care if it’s the wrong way, I want to lose that weight again. Feel pretty. Feel confident. Not #Bodyshame myself. I want to make my husband feel proud of me. It’s sad but true: my #Selfimage is based solely on compliments or attention I get.

Does anyone else feel like this? (Assuming you read all of this...)
