I Want to Lose Weight
I have struggled with my weight ever since I was a child :)
I yoyoed from slim to chubby to fat to chubby then to too skinny and now I am fat again :(
When I was in high school I was so sick of comments about how chubby I was and I then went on an extreme diet and became too skinny in such a short time. I was underweight.
Since I got comments about being skinny, I gave up and started overeating again (I was a silly teenager :(...) And now that the years have passed I am now almost obese (according to bmi...I don't really look obese though as I gain most of my fat in my arms) and I still get negative comments. I have learned to accept that not everyone is going to be happy with my weight regardless of what I become so I just want to be a healthy weight and ignore the comments I will get.
I am 4ft 11 so naturally, a healthy weight and caloric intake of someone my height is much lower than what I should be for the average height of my age (I am 19).
I am a vegetarian and I really want some advice...I can't afford the gym anymore so if anyone has any diet or exercise tips to help me get started then I will appreciate it so much. :) I don't even know what the right portion sizes for food are for vegetarians. I used to eat meat in the past so for years I have been doing the vegetarian lifestyle completely wrong (too much dairy and carbs). I am also living with my family, I cook for myself (and buy a lot of my own food/ingredients) but my family keep buying me take aways and sweets (even though they comment on my weight) and I try to be polite and suggest that maybe I can get something healthier or just have a different meal instead but they keep doing it and I feel too polite to say no. :(
I would be very grateful to anyone that is currently losing weight successfully and can offer me advice. :) I keep trying to eat healthy but I always go back to junk food eventually.
