Losing weight is hard, and it takes more than eating fewer calories than what you burn. To burn it off more quickly I suggest the Atkins approach:
- carefully record each day what you’re eating and the number of calories and net carbs. To get net carbs, take the total and subtract “Dietary Fiber”.
- aim for total net carbs of 25 grams or fewer per day.
Exercise helps a lot too, especially with feelings of depression. For me, getting outside is wonderful. Practice gratitude for everything that you see.
It’s tempting to get things like hip and butt pads but in the end they’re just uncomfortable and don’t accomplish much. I was always worried too that they’d shift or be in the “wrong” place and I’d look odd or silly. I suggest spending your money on clothing. Look around at women who’re about your size and shape and find ideas for what you’d like. Then go get them!
You might find women’s clothing consignment shops for larger women. Excellent way to find clothes that fit and much lower cost than retail. They may also have shoes. It’s hard to find shoes that fit too.
