Hi
I'm having a big problem and need some help .. advise .. guidance.
I've never been the weight my body should be ... EVER.
As a teen, I was chunky, but not 'fat' .. then as adulthood started (and babys etc..) I gained, and gained, and gained! My Mother was morbidly obese (I know, no excuse), and we all have weight 'issues' in my family. I dont exercise and I know I should - and I honestly say I will with good intention, but never do it
I am now 53 ... 5'6" ... and topping out at 235.
I've been on every diet known to man, and some I've invented myself.
most recently Weight Watchers, then Nutrasystem, then Jorge Cruise Belly Fat Cure, then Weight Watchers again!
I've considered gastric banding, but really dont want to do surgery ... I still think I can do this myself.
I think those "you are not to blame ... low fat diets don't work" things are correct for me. My metabolism is so screwed up at this point that it is basically non-exsistant . I do know that I feel so much worse after heavy carbs (and of course I am totally addicted to them!). Some mornings I wake up with what I describe as a "carb hangover" ... and I think 'what are you doing! ..you're killing yourself'!
I'm so confused as to what diet program I should follow ... one that is not too expensive ... easy to follow ... and will WORK. As Susan Powder used to say - I've got to 'STOP THE INSANITY'.
Please help me ... tell me what works for you - if you are also a carb lover with no metabolism who needs to lose over 60lbs.
PLEASE
