Sweety, trust me I ve been in the same situation as yourself...I had lost a loved one and slipped into a coma- this and my comfort-eating binges contributed to me become obese...I was already in a depression and make things worst I was living alone...Didn t have any friends n family to tend to me as I had decided to move to a place where no body knew me.....Anyhow, here I am today...5ft 4 inches tall...and 38in-28-36....The path from 48-38-52 to this was not easy...It was gruesome..and required a lot of mental-determination....it is infact the only thing which can make u lose weight..coz once u have it, the will and strength to work out and abstain from fatty foods will simply follow.....Wht i did was I bought dresses for myself which were too small-exactly the size i wanted myself to be.....I stocked my fridge with only veggies and fruits..and the occasional chicken (coz its the only healthy meat) which i only had roasted, skinned grilled.....and worked out in the gym 6 days a week for 2 hours daily...30 mins in sauna for 6 months...and here I am today....that s it...all laid down for u....so...go ahead...pump up ur will-power....declare to the world ur plan...and stick to it...Feel free to contact me if u need any help...i completely feel for u...ALL THE BEST
Try portion control... all the same foods you like and eat, still eat them but in smaller amounts... this way you re still eating what you enjoy. for instance instead of eating ice ceam out of the carton, measure 1/2 cup out and then stop... or if you crave pizza, that s fine! but instead of eating 6 slices, have 2 slices and add a salad to it to fill you up. drink lots of water or some other drink with 0 calories like diet pop or crystal lite if you don t like water. this will fill you up and you won t be as hungry. Diets don t wont... it s totally unrealistic to say i m just not going to eat fattening food... it only sets you up for a binge that way. Also if you re a bordum eater, find something else you enjoy doing to get your mind off food. As for exercise. I work in a gym and can totally understand how it can be intimidating to go to a gym if feel a little self conscience. So maybe try just going for some walks or jogs. with it being summer time there s a lot of activities you can do outside that are fun. And if you feel too depressed to go out and do something period then just try to focus on the eating part for now. always take baby steps if you try to make too drastic life changes at one time it will be too overwhelming and can set you up for failure. good luck :)
