Need assistance with my weight

Hey ladies. Its been a while hope you are all keeping positive. I need help with my weight. I finished treatment 3 years ago and been on arimidex for nearly two years. For the past year i seem to have lost my way and put on nearly 10kg.  I have aches and pains everywhere my knees my back have preexisting injuries and they have become unbearable due to all the weight i am carrying. I know what i need to do in relation to my diet but the motivation isnt there and the body is craving junk. Any ideas on how to get back on track?
Take care.

    Hi I hear you my weight is terrible I was just starting to get back on track and my knee went. I have had a arthroscope and knee still not great. I have decided to go and see a dietican. It would be nice if there was a pill to take at night and wake up a few kilos lighter. Good luck

    Thanks. My weakness is snacks and gets me when i am at work primarily but also after dinner. I dont do soft drinks or juices so that isnt a problem. I agree i need to make small changes for the long haul. I dont want to deprive myself as life is too short but I need to figure something out that works for me. I am hoping that the arrival of spring will give me some motivation as i tend to hibernate over winter. Thanks for your suggestions.

    This was in a previous post from ages ago and it relates to me and probably others!

    Hi!  Yes it is a so and so!  My thyroid is sluggish and hence the weight isn't coming off!  Your comment the body is craving junk!  Perhaps start to wean yourself off one piece of junk at a time.  Say, if you love soft drink, find an alternative as we know soft drink is laden with sugar.  If you're having fruit juices, cut down the serving size as they too are sugary!  Slowly weaning without putting the body through she is starving me let's gang up - as that is what it feels like, may help!
