I have had an issue with weight my whole life. In high school I was always large, a size 12-14. I went down to about a 10-12 when I was in wrestling and participating in extremely high intensity exercises for 2.5-4 hours a day, 5 times a week and keeping a nearly anorexcic diet in order to make weight. I work full time now and have other responsibilities so I can't do that now. I eat a normal healthy way - I watch my carbs/fat/sugar intake, I don't eat huge portions and rarely eat beyond being full - and always have. The thing is, I consistently gain weight. I can maintain my weight by working out (I only have time for about 1/2 hour every other day) and eating less food and very small portions,, but I always feel STARVED and I don't lose, I just gain. I'm 22 now and am "morbidly obese" according to my BMI wearing a size 22-24.
I have tried structured very low calorie diets, weight loss products, exercise regimens, I track my calories on my fitness pal...I've even gone to weight loss support groups, but it doesn't help because I'm not a food addict, I have good habits. Aside from my weight I'm in great health, but the weight is taking it's toll on my body. my doctor says I'm healthy I just need to eat less and work out more, but she has never done anything other than a basic physical with me. I'm at a loss and I'm not sure where to turn. Does anyone have a similar situation? And if so what did you do, what helped? Any diets, programs, etc?
I'm so frustrated, any advice will help!!
Hi, wow you should not feel that way. All you have to do is change the way you diet. learn to try new things. Turn yourself on to more salads and drink more water, if you a bread eater, pull away from it all together. Eating yougurt in between meals is good. I was overweight and losed it, kept it off simpily by pushing away from the table, train myself to eat the right type of foods like greek yougurt, I drink cocnut water. Coconut Water will hydrate your body, and you will feel it especially after a good sweaty workout. Try lowfat meals like healthy choice or weight watchers microwavable products, THINK LEAN. I dropped pounds left and right, simpliy by changing my eating habits, investing in a good juicer like Nutri Bullet blender, you can drop all your veggies and friuts into Nutri Bullet blender guarantee to make you some very healthy smooties and health juices. One trick I learned, the first thing I fid and still do when I first wake up drink ice cold spring water, because it flush out food that was broken down during the night. Do a workout like brisk walking or if you can afford invest in the T25 workout program, its a program that can reshape your body in all part of your core, and you see results in a short period of time. Last not least make goal, stand in the mirror and look at your body with no clothes and this will motivate you, everytim e you work out , the mirror can help you. Hold your head up. Believe in.yourself and it will pay off.

Hello, as I said in the question, I have healthy eating habits. I don't eat bread, I drink 72 oz of water per day, or more. I've done every diet imaginable, including WW. I'm not an impulsive or binge eater. I do work out, again, as I said in the question. Read more carefully before answering questions please.
