So, I've been using my mum's scale which isn't electronic and it said I weighed 80kg about two days later I weigh myself at my sister on an electric scale.I literally start swearing when I see the number 84.6kg I had a panic attack after seeing that number and was in such despair. I have been trying for countless months 30 minutes a day exercising and I don't know why but it's not working. I start discussing in the car that I need a gastric bypass but my concern is an infection happening. My sister's partner says I don't need to have a gastric bypass but instead I need treatment for my emotional eating instead. He insisted that when I'm there the snacks for their daughter goes fast. I couldn't believe how much food I could shovel in my mouth when I was occasionally there. I'm thinking that I will be talking to my GP about a psychologist as I need support now over so many tragic things happening in my life. I know that obesity can kill but so can being depressed and anxious I decided there's no point in stressing out. I'll just exercise for longer and further than ever before. I just hope I can change my life style around as clearly what I was doing at my mum's house never worked.

I have read that the first 45 minutes of exercise just keep you where you are (you are older than you were yesterday, after all!). It takes 90 minutes a day to effect weight loss, like 10km / 6 miles of walking at 15 minutes / mile.

Have you looked into the hormonal theories of fat gain? Books like the obesity code.

The theory basically is that insulin causes weight gain and if you eat in manner that reduces insulin you will be able to lose weight. Keto / intermittant fasting.

I would try that first.
