Question by Cathrine: Please help motivate me to loose my last bit of weight?
I am a 16 year old female. I have always been over weight because I have the ‘fat gene’. Every female in my family is over weight. Given this I have always wanted to be thin, and I have lost 2 stone and 1 lb so far. I am now only about 1 and a half stone away from my goal weight but I just can’t seem to stop eating any more. I am not eating unhealthily, I am just eating normal food. IE, Sandwich for lunch and 3 potatoes at dinner etc. I just miss food so much!
Because of this I have gained 1 and a half lbs over the last 2 weeks. I have prom in just under 4 weeks and I want to loose at least 5 pounds, 8 at most. I know this isn’t gonna be easy. So I have been running, doing 100 sit up’s and working out on my exercise bike every day. And during the day I eat fruit for breakfast, salad for lunch and meat and salad for dinner, and then snack on fruit.
But almost every day after dinner I keep eating things that are not fruit. For example, I just ate some sun-dried tomatoes, olives and pepers in oil… thats 200 kcals… this is ruining my diet and my long term happiness. I feel guilty the whole time I am eating, but I just can’t stop my self.
Also I have a holiday in 50 days and I am going with my friends who are all slim and fit and healthy, some of them are models and I am below average looking and a stone over weight! So for the sake of fitting in, I need to loose at least 10 lbs.
My question is, please motivate me to stop eating, tell me how you have over come mindless eating and how you kept strong on your diet or what ever thing you have done that requires dedication and motivation. Thank you! xx
