I need some help...

[Jenni123]

I feel like im a mess. I have been on all these diets losing weight and then gaining the weight back. I feel like every other week im trying a new diet. Like nothing is working for me cause i seem to be just gaining everything back.I am 4'10 and i weight 152 pounds. I used to only weigh 130 pounds last year. So basically ive gained around 25 pounds and i feel horriable i look at pictures of me last summer and i look so much thinner and i look at myself now and i see this monster. I promised myself and my boyfriend that i would get back to that 130 by the end of this summer and im still gaining rather then lossing. I can't find things to motivate me to stay on the diet. I let any little thing get in the way like, going out to eat w/ my friends and boyfriend saying im only going to eat salads and chicken when i go out and end up ordering pasta. I just don't know how to say No thanks. Ive been trying so hard to lose weight but i just can't do it. I have tried LA Wieght loss and that did nothing for me. I need to find things to motivate me into losing some weight. Can anyone help me with this?

There is only 1 thing that can motivate you to stick with a new 'diet'.....and that's you.

Every person here has been where you are....sitting on the fence of weight loss, wanting it but not really wanting to change your lifestyle around to make it happen. You are your own motivator. If you want to be 130 then you need to plow everything out of your way and just do it.

Jenn,
First you need to ask yourself why you want to do this? Is it for you?
You MUST realise that you ARE worth being fit and healthy.

Secondly, as for "diets" if you're looking for or have been using a "plan" and then gain weight back after you "go off it" then maybe you should look into finding out how many calories you need to maintain your weight, then cutting back 500 a day in order to lose a pound a week. A rough estimate would be around 1350 calories a day. Then you can eat what you want, the way you would be eating with friends, boy friend or family, but stop when you get to your calorie limit for the day. I have found for me, that is the only way I can truly let this weight loss become a life changing plan.

Then, get out there an MOVE - take walks, do some pilates, go dancing, whatever it is, get out there and move - regularly.

This isn't an easy thing, but you CAN do it! You and ONLY you can make it happen!
