How to get comfortable in my own body?

Question

So i’m pretty over weight and in my opinion i’m fat. I’m 16 and i don’t know what i weight but i’m definitely over weight. I really wanna lose weight but it’s really hard and i’m struggling to do it. I have a really bad image of my body and it’s come to the point where i only wear hoodies and sweatshirts to cover my size. I always think i look bad in T shirts and any other type of shirt. I try to eat healthy but i’m just having a difficulty doing it. Any tips?

Answer

Take baby steps. Don't try to just drastically change everything at once. I would start by changing your drinking habits. I don't know what you currently drink, but liquid calories will stick to your body the easiest and fastest since your body doesn't need to digest it. Start drinking only water. If you drink a lot of soda, change to club soda and add a little lemon juice. Once you get used to drinking only water. Then start cutting out very sugary food. They have low to no sugar options for ice cream and cookies, many you really can't taste a difference. Then eventually you can start cutting out carbs... And so on. Studies are finding diet makes a bigger difference than exercise does. But of course exercise is important too. Just start doing like 10 jumping jacks and 10 squats before you go to bed or when you first wake up, and just add little by little.

Answer

Try get motivated to exercise and workout daily, even if it’s going out for a run for half an hour. On top of that eat a healthy balanced diet, don’t skip meals because food isn’t an issue - unhealthy food is. Look into workout regimens and find things that work for you. 
But most importantly that know no matter what you’re beautiful, and we all have different views on our body than what others see. Don’t let your weight define who you are! As long as you are happy and healthy that’s all that matters 💛
