I'm 26 y/o and for the past 2 years I have been really struggling with my weight. I had my Daughter in Oct. 2008 and by Christmas I was back into my skinny jeans and almost had all the baby weight off but then I started working in the mall and ate so much junk food and before I realized it I was bigger than I was when I was pregnant
I quit my job to be a sahm 1.5 years ago and I have been trying so hard to lose and it seems as if I can't...
Some thing I should mention is that my whole life I ate junk food and was always slim and athletic, when I needed to lose a pound or 2 all I would do is work out, continue eating the same junk and I would lose the weight.
My DH is the one who didn't like me eating junk food since he eats very healthy and I have struggled for years to change my eating habits for a more healthier life style, for the past 2 months I have been eating so healthy and it's been so hard for me to lose weight! I'm so frustrated
I work out and try not to over push my self and I did lose 2.5 pounds but I was getting some pain so I talked to my doctor and he prescribed me some medicine that will help so I won't have pain when I work out, so till I got my medicine I let my body rest and in those 2 days I didn't exercise I gained those 2.5 pound back! I feel like crying!
Some days I just feel like going back to eating junk food, starving myself or what not I really want to fit back into my old clothes but most of all i want to be healthy and lead a healthy life style.
I weigh 117lb and my goal weight is 94lb, I know it might seem like too much but I'm short, 4'11 and I used to weigh 90lb before getting pregnant and I was not under weight.
I really can't afford all those weight loss programs (and don't believe in most of them) and can't really go for walks or joggs because as of right now i don't live in the safest neighborhood so I normally just try my best to work out in my home, mostly while watching a tv show I'll run (in place), dance and such but it's like I'll lose a pound and then gain it back...
How can I lose the weight and keep it off?
