weight

Before I had my daughter, I was already over weight. My daughter is now 7 months old and I'm close to 200 lbs. and I'm only 18 years old. Before my baby girl I always tried to lose weight and even now I try, but I get really discouraged and jut quit and just think to myself why even do it, its not like I can ever get skinny anyway. My family seems to think that I am depressed or have the baby blues but I dont think that I do. Im one of those ppl who hate to take a long time to accomplish something and I want to lose weight fast, but healthy which is impossible. Any good tips or advice to help?

the good ol fashioned way

...I often find myself eating anytime there's nothing keeping me occupied. I don't know if you do this also, but I've been trying to quit that. If i'm not hungry, like literally feeling the rumbles in my tummy, then I don't eat. A lot of times I think i'm hungry, but I just have a taste for something.
I luck out because I absolutly love fruit. I always keep it in the house, and eat it when i'm hungry. But I do eat fast food alot too lol.
I think the key to losing weight by healthy diet, is to always consciously know and register everything that you eat. But what do I know lol

Well, you just had a baby.. kinda. So it's okay that you weight more than usual. I'm still trying to lose my fat. And yes, you can get skinny. I've known many people that have weighed over 200lbs and have gotten skinny.

Go to the gym, take it easy first. Get yourself on a special diet. Avoid fast food places and don't get seconds! Always compare food with calories. The less the better, it's not like it will taste any different.

Ever since I knew I was pregnant, I started eating things that are sugar-free, and because my dad was diabetic. Also keeping yourself busy is a distraction to getting bored and heading straight to the refrigerator. It's a natural habit of ours when we tend to get bored. You know when you check that fridge more than once >.>

That's pretty much for me.

i keep a pic of me after i had my 2nd baby on fridge to keep me motivated and ive realized im a junkffood addict i cant keep it in the house so I buy other stuff like sugar free chcolate pudding, special k bars, skinny cow icecream, frozen yogurt, alot of fruit. you have to want it for yourself. i was 118 prebaby ang got up to 200 with 2nd baby. im now 5 mth pp and im 144 now. lost another 2 pds. so thats 56 pds sooo far. yeah i dont like to wait long for anything either by by a yrs time your waist will shrink and so will evrything else u have to stay strong. well gotta go take my butt to the gym before hubby goes to work. good luck hun
