I am starting a diet today and am looking for some support.?

Question

I have dieted many times in the past only to gain the weight back but am determined while my husband is away for the next 2 weeks to drop some pounds. I am an emotional eater and am considered obese. I was diagnosed with uterine cancer in december of 2005, had a hysterectomy and am now cancer free. Praise GOD almighty for that. I am going through surgical-induced menopause and am only 27. So I eat to mask the emotions basically. Please give me some supportive comments to help me actually succeed with my diet this time.

Answer 1

Homeopathic Treatment for Excessive Fat and Weight :-
PHYTOLACCA BERRY's Mother Tincture is perhaps the safest and sure fire way of loosing excessive fat around abdomen. With Phytolacca Berry once you loose the excessive fat and weight you don't get it back because you body takes care of itself after that and keeps you from gathering up excessive fat. It is prescribed after having a baby too, to get the tummy to loose its flab and to make it flatter and tighter. And after loosing weight with this you don't get flabby it tightens up the flab and skin along with helping your body to shed the excessive accumulation of fat around the girth
The dosage is 15 to 20 drops of the tincture in half a cup of hot water thrice a day half hour before or after meals.
Avoid Chocolates, Coffee, Mints, Red Meat and Carbonated and Alcoholic drinks while taking Homeopathic Medicines. You have to take it for at least 30 to 45 days after that you start to feel the results.
To the best of my knowledge its the safest and the most sure fire way of loosing fat and weight and keeping it of for keeps. Excellent remedy for Obese people who cant seem to shed weight despite trying.
Homeopathic Remedies can be found at all Major Herbal Stores or could be bought on line, In most of the world Homeopathic remedies are quite cheap and easy to find and they do not need a prescription.
Take care and God Bless !

Congrats on making the choice to do this! Once you've actually made the decision, the diet's become a littler easier. Have you decided what type of diet you'll be going on?

My husband and I started Weight Watchers three weeks ago, ( I am obese, he is overweight) and their Flex Points plan is the easier thing we've ever done! And it's easy to stick to!

For exercise, I can't really do too much simply because I am so big. But we bought the game dance, dance revolution and hooked it up. I play it on beginner, and take a pain reliever before hand. It's fun, and I don't even realize I'm sweating until I've jogged the equivalent of half a mile.

It may not seem like that's alot, but it is. And it's fun!!

Good Luck! If you need anything else, feel free to email me :)

some people say that food is like a drug for the obese, I don't know what to offer as kind and encouraging words, but leading a healthier lifestyle is always good. Try cutting out only one item at a time and substituting that item with something good. Here's an example, Say you love milkshakes and you have a sweet tooth. I understand that you can't just get rid of milkshakes from your diet, but you can substitute a walk to the milkshake place and get a smaller shake. Small things add up, take it slow and try not to do too much too fast. Dieting is akin to a marathon, not a sprint. Good luck. Click on the link below for some basic info.

Women might argue that in today’s culture too much emphasis is placed on an individual’s appearance. We’ve all heard that it’s what is on the inside that really counts, that beauty lies within. But push further and you’ll discover in that statement a sense of defiance, an acknowledgement that outer as well as inner beauty can be measured - regardless of whether it’s right or wrong. And given the choice you’ll be hard-pressed to find someone that is truly okay about being overweight; that loves to look in the mirror at her belly and see the cellulite and stretch marks that reveal the beauty lying within.

Isn’t it likely then, barring genetics, that the body is a physical manifestation of how we might feel about ourselves on the inside? If that’s the case, then psychology plays a vital role in finding your mental equilibrium and ultimately becoming healthy. The quest to lose weight reflects a need to synchronize inner and outer beauty.

The first step to conquering weight is to realize that the extra layer of fat you carry could literally be a security blanket. Layering your body gives you a barrier against the threat of intimacy and reveals an unconscious desire to hide. Make an effort to go to a public place like a health club for your exercise routine. Don’t wear baggy sweatshirts. Accept that others will see your face turn red and get sweaty. You’ll quickly realize that far from ridicule, you’ll likely receive support and encouragement from fellow patrons. Let your determination inspire others around you. Realize that by exercising you are giving yourself the gift of health.

The common suggestion to eat less certainly works in the short run. But perhaps more important is to learn to be conscious about your eating habits. Many individuals eat when they’re not hungry or eat long after they’re full. Why? Examine whether you have an eating buddy, someone that you inevitably share an appetizer with whenever you see them. Question whether your boredom, anger, depression, loneliness or anxiety – not real hunger – may cause you to reach for the chips.

Vow to shed the emotional and physical baggage that you carry – for the long term. Know that results will not happen overnight. View your resolution to lose weight as a new job, one that requires commitment. It’s common to remain at the same weight or even gain weight within the first month of exercising. Your body is simply adjusting to the sudden attention your mind is giving it. Every time you get on the Stairmaster or run that lap around the track, remember those hurtful comments from your past and let it motivate you to keep going. Use that negative energy to your advantage! Each pound lost represents a pound of emotional baggage burned. Ultimately you’re doing this for your own well-being, not anyone else’s. The satisfaction you feel when you do see the results will create the motivation you need to continue, which in turn provides more results. This is one addiction that can be good for you.

If you find that all of a sudden after months of weight loss you’ve suddenly gained eight pounds, examine what’s happening in your emotional as well as physical life. Unrequited love, a failed exam, or even someone telling you you’re getting too skinny can have an unconscious effect on your psyche, which in turn affects your ability to lose weight.

After reducing one or two sizes, go out and buy some new clothes – and get rid of the clothes that no longer fit you. Giving old clothes away gives you mental permission to free yourself from past emotional conflicts. Don’t hold onto them with the idea that you may still need them. You’re setting yourself up for future failure and indicating that you don’t have enough faith to maintain your new body. And understand that at some point there is no more weight to be lost. Regardless of what the latest magazine tells you your weight should be, each body is different. Your body knows when it has reached its limit – let it go and just focus on maintenance. Most of us will probably never be a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model so give yourself a break and be happy with what you’ve already achieved. Curvy equals sexy.

The good news is that once you’ve committed to being healthy in body, it’s a clear indication that you’ve also left behind some fairly destructive behavior patterns. You have not only changed your body, you’ve also polished up your soul a little bit too.

You have been through alot lately, and it certainly isn't your fault that you've gained weight. It is REALLY difficult to lose weight when you are going through such traumatic times. Your desire to lose weight now is an indication that you've moved beyond the trauma and can now move onto these other priorities. One thing, do it for yourself, if YOU really want to lose the weight then you will, you've done much more difficult things already. Good luck!
