In need of weight loss help....feel like cutting fat from me arghhhh?

sparkle_ca

i don't need anyone to tell me how to diet, because i know how..i have a problem with doing it since i had my son.
Before i was pregnant i had slimmed down a lot, i didn't gain much weight during pregnancy and it seemed to drop off straight after but then it all came back on. I used to gain weight on my legs but now it goes on my tummy...It seems that everything i eat goes on my stomach.
I do exercise and eat healthily but then i seem to get to a stage where i binge for a week...it's really bad. Some days i'll eat 4 chocolate bars on top of a take away. I'll do that for say a week and then the week after i'll feel so bad that i only have coffee and one digestive biscuit for a week. I know in my head that it isn't right but i can't stop myself. I HATE how i look. I won't even take my son swimming, he's only been once and he's 8 months old now.
I've done weight watchers before and did well but i'm a mum and a student now so my time is very limited. But when i try to do it at home i don't stick to my points.
I've got to the point where i've fantasised about cutting fat away from my stomach. I am a size 14(uk) but i feel huge and when i look in the mirror i see a 20 stone woman looking back at me. My breasts are a H cup and i want to cut them off too. I'm only 20 but i feel like an old frump.
i don't want your pity but i would like some tips on keeping motivated and some quick/easy healthy recipes as having an 8 month old and a house to keep (i live alone) and 4 assignments i find i go for the quicker food which is usually the worst for me...
Please help me :(

Answer
I'm seeing a lot of excuses for why you can't do this. The first thing you need to do is change your mentality - NO EXCUSES! Planning to fail guarantees failure.

The only way to lose weight, get fit and stay that way is the slow way â healthy diet and regular exercise.

No dieting: dieting ends, a healthy diet is a lifetime of good habits. A basic healthy diet: lean meats, dark veggies, whole grains, lots of water; reduce processed carbs (soda pop is Satan!) and increase fiber. Snack on fruits and veggies instead of salt and sweets. WW plan encourages this sort of eating - use what you learned from Florine! Allow yourself a splurge once every two or three weeks â itâs easier to be good if you know thereâs a treat in your future. Educate yourself â there are thousands of websites with nutrition information. You can tell the good ones â they arenât selling a quick fix. Everybody has different needs - find what works for you and stick with it.

Exercise: start easy and work your way up. Make the time 3-4 days a week â an hour walk with the stroller, a stroll on the treadmill, whatever. NO EXCUSES - it has to become a habit. After a few months start challenging yourself â add leg weights, join a gym, take dance classes, something. Add exercise to your day in small ways: take the stairs instead of the elevator, do isometrics at your desk, ride your bike to school instead of the bus. There are exercises you can do that involve your baby - healthy for you, and your baby will learn to be active, too.

Sadly, exercise doesnât burn enough calories to lose much weight â two miles on the treadmill equals about half of a Big Mac. But exercise is irreplaceable for a healthy heart, stamina and flexibility. That means a longer and more active lifespan. Again, education is the key â anatomy and physiology is the ownerâs manual for your body. Avoid websites that are selling the Patented Nuclear Abdominatorizer of the Week â they are more interested in your wallet than your health.

Donât quit just because you fall off the wagon one or twelve times â thatâs just an excuse for laziness. It took years to develop your bad habits; it will take time to change them. You will make mistakes - forgive yourself and get back to work.

Remember â your biggest obstacles are laziness and unrealistic expectations. Your best tools are perseverance and education.

Good Luck!
