Answer 1

I have tried many diets,exercises and pills.... I lost weight but gained it back even though I stayed on them for years.
The mind set is very important..never use the words i am aon a diet...instead say this is the type of foods that work for me.

I finally found the Medeterain diet.... it is hard cheeses,lots of green veggies,fish,or chicken,extra virgin olive oil for cooking in...not much bread...olives.. both kinds...water
I also just cut one high carb or high fat food out every 2-3 weeks... now I don't crave them anymore
Found that not using any sugar,real or artifical (bodies don't digest it well) has halped me not get the cravings for the carbs.
I wrote a list of when,what & why I ate each time I ate....I saw where my weaknesses were & when I gained the weight.I never weight myself...I go by how the clothes keep going downin size... treat myself to sometjing new when they start to get really loose.

Rememeber one bad day is not reason to beat yourself up over...never ever tell people you are on a diet(their hounding you will cause you stress & make it harder to sick to it...and a bad day with them is hell to hear about).

as for exercise I HATE it... but have found dancing to my favorite CDs is a great way to enjoy it... walking, bike riding & swimming work too. Find several things you already like to do....(.the exercise tapes only made me feel like a failure when I got bored with them... the classes...were a joke after a while,very boring).Change them everyday... and it makes it easier to stick with it.
Keep telling yourself how great you feel each day instead of llooking at the chunky monkeys (as my son calls them).When we see only the negative parts of us we start with the negative thoughts *& words...
When you crave something start with a cool glass of water...80% of the time people are thirsty not hungry.. wait about 20 -30 minutes,find something to keep your mind focused & hands busy .... if you still crave it... eat just a half a portion..if you try to subsitute it,you'll eat more...then eventually end up eating it anyways..which packs on the calories.... and can make you feel like a failure too
Doing it this way & realising it was what my body needed,,,I have kept it off for 5 years...all the other ways I slowly put it back on with in a year as I got bored with them & didn't care to eat the foods anymore..we are each different & what works for some will never work for others.. You will find the right foods for you...
Everything in moderation...also take the advice of we_gewi21...he speaks the truth about NA women & it's really how much our media has put so many negative thought about how we should all be a size 0.... big boobs aren't the only thing men look for in a lady..(though I have them naturally).I know many guys who think I have a hot body...they all love my eyes,smile,hair & sense of humor..... it took me 3 years to trully understand why... they want a cuddly women with some softness to their bodies.....someone who is real enough to know life is to be enjoyed.
My fiance fell head over heels in love with me when I was heavier.. he accepted my miind & who I was...loved the softness of my body..and what all the other guys did about me. He got a bit upset when I got down to 125 lbs... as I was 145 lbs. (when we met) he asked me to please start eating a bit more....not to get fat ..but to put some meat on my bones...lol..He is an Army medic & knows alot about the human body.... he said we each have a size & shape...never ever listen to those who say the only way to be loved is to be skinny...
My friends& family also said I looked sickly when I weighted 125 llbs. and needed to eat.....as I looked awesome at 145 lbs.
It's the inside that counts the most... even a size 0 is not attractive if the heart is cold & mean.. it shows on the outside... God bless you with His help on finding what works for you..He loves you just as you are too !!!!

Answer 2

well- i've tried pretty much everything to be the skinny girl. anorexia to weight watchers to south beach diet to the
vster cleanser to puiking up everything... there just is not an easy way.
i did, however, find the south beach diet to be awesome. i was sucessful on it and it is now my life style... its hard at frist because in the first phase you are giving up so much food... but you just keep telling yourself its only for 2 weeks and you realie its not that bad.

heres a summary of south beach... i recommend getting the book.

you have 3 phases. the first phase is the strictest and you give up fruits and whole grains. im a vegetarian so i could really eat is vegetables and beans. in the book there is a list of what you can eat and what you cant. if the food is on the do not eat list do not eat it... its that simplew. you do that for two weeks and lose anywhere from 8-3 pounds. i only lost 8 but i cheated three times, and im not overweight so i was not expecting to lose a whole bunch. then there is phase 2 where you add frutis and whole grains back into your diet... you do this for as long as it takes you to reach your goal weight. your expected to lose 1 to 2 lbs a week o nthis diet. ( i did phase 2 for 3 weeks and lost 7 additional pounds- but i did sparaticaly add an excersie program into my lifestlye whcih consited of pilates, and walking) then there is phase 3 which is the maitnece phase and it just becomes your lifestylyer. in the book it explains portion control, limiting your indulgences and just eating healthy.
i really recommend this. its hard for the first 2 weeks but that is just all in your mind. just tell yourself (if yoy do it) its only two weeks and you'll do fine.

Answer 3

You're a beautiful person and YOU need to believe it. It's all about attitude and what you make of what you have.

Here is a personal story. Growing up in North America, I always thought being 6'2" and 180 was thin. When I traveled around the world, I realised the false body image I had grown up with. I always thought, I had to be 200 and buff to be manly. Through my travels my body image changed and I enjoy my build. This afforded me a lot of cofidence.

I also noticed many women in Asia are envious of the curves of many NA women, and NA women look onto Asian women with envy. People need to have better body images of themselves and be happy with what they have.

Be the best size you can be. Not everyone can have small hips, and big boobs. But we can all improve what we have got. Some of us are bigger and some of us are thin, people complain how big they are or how skinny they are. Be glad you can of what you have cause half the world is starving or just trying to survive the violence from day-to-day.

Be proud of what you have and others will see that too. It can happen only if you believe.

Answer 4

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)
