Ht. 5'6, Wt. 235 - so basically i dont really know where to start but, i am obese, i still get hit up allot by guys, but they are usually older. i dont have tons of rolls, i have a shape to my body but im still fat. anyway, being overweight creates allot of problems for me. i have allot of mental problems, borderline manic depression, anxiety, paranoia,and ive tried suicide twice and been hospitalized before. when i look for the causes as to why my mind is the way it is,it all comes back to two main reasons; my family and my wieght. my whole life ive been over weight and trying to lose weight, andnothing ever happens. part of the problem is the fact that i have no will power whatsoever, but thenfor the past 3 weeks ive been eating less and extremely healthy, and i gained 3 pounds! i joined the womens gym Curves, but i dont feel like its enough. Then the other night my friend told me that i just have a big body,and that theres nothing i can do to change that. he said i could try a diet and excersize, but i wont lose any weight because this is just the way my body is. so now i really feel like giving up, but I decided before i do i'll give it one last shot. i think i'll bring my treadmill in my room, and go to curves every morning, and go to bed earlier so i can wake up earlier.but i dont know what to do for my diet because eating healthier didnt work. i want to try low carb but i definitley do not have the willpower for that since the main thing i eat is carbs. maybe cutting down on carbs and fats, eating healthier and less? the way i was eating before was just a turkey sandwich with mayo and lettuce, then broccoli and carrots in veggie dip, then i wouldnt eat again til dinner and just eat what my mom made and thats it. if anyone has any suggestions, knows what i was doing wrong, advice, or anything please reply, thanks.
