loosing 20lbs is becoming impossible..
okay, i've been trying to loose 20lbs since like..oh i dont' know, january? i was doing WICKED good dieting and such, and then one day middle of febuary, i decided to have some KFC. and i've been binging ever since. good news? i managed to loose 20lbs within that month and a half. bad news is i can't keep myself motivated to stick to something again.
i always tell myself "i'm starting a new diet now" and it works for a couple days. then i start binging again.
i want to stop and get healthy. i already have a good meal plan:
breakfast- Oatmeal, Peaches, Water, Multivitamin
OR Pinnaple-bannana Smoothie (bannana, pinnapple, soy milk, ice)
Lunch- Turkey Wrap, Non-Fat Pudding, Apple, Water
Dinner- Lean Cousine.
I'm planning on drinking 10 glasses a day. and working out for 40 minutes per day 5x per week.
what excersises should i do?
and how fast do you think i will loose this weight? i weight 145lbs and my waist is 37"

your plan sounds great. About your binging, i think that you should have one each week. Exercising would speed up the weight loosing also. So i sujjest jogging or, if you have a pool swimming laps.

The plan sounds perfect, but lets be realistic now, this will not work at all. If you tend to overeat, there is no way you can have this much self control and stick with the diet. You need to gradually drop the weight, not all at once.

Wow, your diet plan is excellent. You stick with that and you should be OK. What you need is an attitude change. You are young, and if you start on this yo yo dieting now, you are looking at many many years of starving yourself, then dieting, then loosing weight, then gaining weight and feeling just terrible about yourself. It is a viscious cycle. Stop now while you are still young. You have to think of food as your friend and not your enemy. Eat to live and not live to eat. The most succesful dieters are the ones who changed their lives, not their diet. By that I mean that they came to beleive and internalize that foods (just like the ones in your great diet) are good for you, their are healthy, they will NOT ONLY keep you slim but grant you a long and healty life. Foods like KFC, and hot dogs and cheese, and chips, ice cream, cakes, cookies and baked goods are not healthy, will make you overweight, and will shorten you life by many years by causing diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and artherosclerosis. (plaque build up in your arteries) Do you know any older people who have any of these diseases? Who have had open heart surgery? Who have arthritis, etc. etc.?
Watch what they eat. Ask them what their doctors have told them they should eat. Why the same things on your great diet, of course. Add to your diet by trying new foods, new fruits and veggies, whole grain breads and pastas, lean meats like chicken and turkey. Make turkey meat balls and tomato sauce. Turkey chili. I really like Turkey bacon. Separate your three meals a day into five or six small ones if it helps. You can add raw nuts like almonds or pecans, (very healthy) If you like fish all the better, (I don't, wish I did) Fish is healthy. But just don't fry it.
CAn you ever eat any of the bad foods again, sure you can, once in a great while. Like once a month maybe. But if you do go "off" the diet by eating something that is bad, don't say you've blown it so you might as well eat more. Just get right back on the diet, for your next meal.
This is a new trick that I just learned, (from a diet book writeen by a doctor called: You, On A Diet)and so far I like it. The doctor said that you need healthy fats in your diet, to LOOSE weight, because your body will shut down your metabolism if it is not getting enough healthy fat, so that it can maintain the fat that you do have. So he suggested 1 teaspoon of a healty fat, 20 minutes before 2 meals a day. So I eat a big teaspoon of organic peanut butter first thing in the AM, and damn if I am not hungry for a couple of hours. I take another one as soon as I get home from work, and then I can wait until I get dinner on the table (2.5 hours later) before I get hungry, instead of snacking on everything I see because I am so hungry when I get home. I have lost four pounds. I am already much older than you are so I am eating to live a long and healthy life. I wish I knew then what I know now about healty eating. You are lucky, You do have a clue. So many kids, (mine included. just live on junk foods.) Good luck to you. Keep it up
