that's wonderful that you are providing 24 hour care for your mom. it's also wonderful that you are focusing on your own health as well. finding ways to exercise in your home as well as working on your diet could help you lose the weight you have gained in the last year. losing weight usually takes time and taking small steps in increasing your exercise and eating fewer calories every week could help. also seeing your primary doc to make sure there is not a health reason like a thyroid problem causing your weight gain would be beneficial. being a caregiver can be challenging and many caregivers are at risk of experiencing some caregiver burnout. here is a link that provides insight for caregivers. <link> take care as in every other similar case what i want to suggest is to try increase your metabolism. there are many options in order to succed it: drink 3 litres of water/day eat 6 small meals/day eat much protein try working out even at home for a few minutes follow some of these and they will definiltely help you and remember: starvation is not a solution!
i've gone from a 10 to a 16 in the last year and have to get this weight off but i'm starving all the time. i take care of my mother and have to feed her my activity level has dropped drastically because i have to provide her 24 hr care. i used to count fat grams and that was the only successful weight loss i've ever had. i went from an 18 to a 10 (the 10 being my normal size) and kept the weight off for almost 20 years. i was going to start back on the fat grams but i'm starving all the time and can't quite seem to get back into the discipline.
