Answer

Im so happy you made this post. I feel like someone can relate to me. Having been in good shape all my life, I have gained so much weight the past years...Im now pounds. Going from being a knock out to hearing everyone from my parents to friends tell me that Im fat is torture enough. Depression can completely take a toll on your life and your weight. brbrWith me, I found that no diets really worked. As committed as I have been to diets, they are just not for me. brbrHere is what has been working for me BABY STEPS.brbrI started off slowly with everything. Letting go of soda and incorporating more water. I now only drink one glass or can of soda per week. I drink so much more water and once your body adapts to it it wont even want much soda. brbrNow if I want junk food Ill have only a little bit. Maybe a few potato chips rather than an entire snack bag of it. brA little bit of pasta along with a huge salad if you squeeze lemon over it to me it tastes better than dressing.brbrIll make it a point to exercise more often through the week.brbrAs a result my waistline and tummy have actually shrunk. brbrSo point being that dont go on crash diets or make a lifestyle change within a week or overnight. Do a little bit of everything but do it in baby steps. That way it becomes part of your lifestyle. If you try to go on a diet or think that you are it wont be long until you go back to your old habits. brbrGood luck with everything. Ive been in the same situation and am still currently going through it. Its not fun to go through life without feeling like you have no style or no social life. Just stay focused and keep reminding yourself everyday of what you want to look like. Itll help you stay motivated.
