Needing Support & Advice...

[Kansas_cowgirl]

My name is Cassandra and I am from Kansas. I am 5'1", and weight 170 pounds. My relationship is going down hill because I am so self conscious about myself that every time my current boyfriend innocently glances at another girl, I get extremely jealous and it causes us to fight. I hate my body; my arms are thick, I have a double chin, stretch marks (never had a baby), cellulite on my butt, thighs, breasts and arms, my breasts are saggy, alot of bell fat, love handles and the list goes on and on... I've tried many different diets and exercises and its not that they didn't help; but I just can not get myself to stick to them. I have no support from my friends, I hardly have any and working a full time job PLUS taking care of my boyfriends 3 young daughters keeps me from fulfilling my weight loss goal. The only person I can blame is myself.

I am not sure what foods and drinks to stay away from. Don't know if diet pills are safe to take. I just really need some input and ideas you know? I drink alot of pop, eat fast food more than home cooked meals, don't get alot of exercise and feel tired and stressed all the time.

My goal is to drop 50 pounds, have a toned body and most of all, be happy with myself. My boyfriend always tells me; he loves me the way I am, but I know that can't be true and I know he would be grateful to see me loose weight and be happy with myself.

Hi Cass.

Welcome to the forum and hope you find some encouragement to change.

You sound young and unhappy. My thoughts to you are you only get one chance at life. Find out what makes you happy and use that as a foundation to change things that you can.

Most of the stuff you mention that's troubling you can be changed. You just need to find the will to do it.

But we can't motivate you to change unless you want to change. You need to find reason.

Good luck and we're here for ya!

Hope you can put things together to get out of that slump and be on your way to happiness.
