I know that I do. I've known it for years. Saying and doing are two very different things, of course.
I can't afford food. My father does all the grocery shopping. Everything he buys is canned and prepackaged. If it isn't on sale, he won't buy it. We rarely have fresh fruit in the house and never have fresh vegetables. It's a lot of hamburger meat and processed foods. That makes it very hard to eat healthy. All of my income goes to paying bills, unfortunately. Once my boyfriend is able to find a job, we'll be able to buy our own foods.
Working out is somewhat of a challenge as well. We have 4 people living in a 2 bedroom/1 bath apartment that measures in at ~800 square feet. What that boils down to, basically, is zero privacy and very little space. The only place I'd have ROOM to work out is the living room, and it's the one room everyone is always in. It's basically a 14x14 foot space that everyone lounges in all the time with their laptops, watches TV and movies, etcetera. Not really able to work out in there. I'd kill for a gym membership, but alas, I cannot afford one of those either. I don't mind going for walks and whatnot but when it's 100 degrees outside, it's hard to get motivated to walk. I was walking a lot more 2 months ago when it wasn't ridiculously hot out. Now I try to sneak in a walk around 10 or 11 pm when it's only 85 or 90 degrees instead of 100. I don't like getting hot because it makes me dizzy, light-headed, and sometimes nauseated. I can work up a bit of a sweat but much more than that and I feel ill.
So in addition to all these other stupid circumstances, I have very little motivation to stick to a weight loss plan. I can start one without a problem. It'll last a couple weeks then I'll see no results, miss all my favorite foods, get lazy, and go back to what I was doing before.
I need to find a way to lose weight QUICKLY. I don't want it to be unhealthy necessarily, but I know that once I start losing weight, I'll want to stick with it. I don't want to lose 5 lbs a month for the next 2 years. I want to drop a fuckton of weight and I want to do it now.
Anyone have any ideas? Lol. The main thing I need to know, I guess, is what should I do to keep myself motivated? I need to find the trick to sticking to it instead of giving up. Bleh.
