How do I find time?

Question

I’m a high school student, around 205 pounds and 5’1. Meaning that I am morbidly obese and am putting myself in danger of multiple diseases like type 2 diabetes. 
Now, I try my best to eat clean. But there are days when I am so busy that I skip breakfast and lunch - leading me to binge in the afternoons. 
I’ve been better, making sure that I get something to eat for breakfast - but I use my lunch periods to study and do work. I also make sure to drink lots of water daily.  
Adding on to all of this: I can hardly find time to exercises.
This may be an excuse, but I like to think that I try my best to walk to and from school...but the weather puts me in a situation where I have to resort to driving. 
I’ve been striving for around 5 months to lose weight, but I’ve only lost around 20 pounds in 2 months. Now, nothing comes off. 
Any advice? How can I find more time to exercise?

Answer

20 pounds in two months is awesome! Weight loss and living a healthy lifestyle is all about consistency. The fact the you're consistently drinking water (and no soda or sugary beverages hopefully) means your well on your way. If you have stairs at home just find 10 minutes of time each day to walk fast up and slower down to get your heart rate up! Otherwise do jumping jacks or anything that gets your heart pumping and every 2 weeks increase the time or number of times you do it per day. If you meal prep salads at night for lunch the next day that can be a quick fix to eating lunch when you want to study (and eat something simotaneously). It's really all about consistency! If you can do it once you can do it again, and again, and again until it is second nature to you! Good luck!

Answer

You’ve lost a good amount. Don’t focus on the negative and focus on the positive. You lost 20 pounds. Does your school after any additional PE classes as electives? When I was in school, in addition to daily PE we had the opportunity to take things like aerobics, weight training, volley ball, etc. as additional options to fill our elective requirements. I recommend making smoothies the night before so you can just grab something on the go. Look up recipes on YouTube for healthy granola bar recipes you can make on the weekends and portion out for the week. Also dividing up snacks like veggie sticks, fruit slices, ahead of time will help you grab things quickly before rushing off to school. See if your parents or siblings or neighbor you’re friends with are willing to accompany you on evening walks after dinner. Also breaking up walks is fine. So you can only walk 10 minutes in the am, and 5 minutes during lunch and 15 minutes after dinner. Perfect. You just walked 30 minutes more that day than you did they day before. Good luck to you. Keep making those healthy choices. Lifestyle changes are hard. You’re doing it the right way though. Keep at it! You’re doing great.
