Really you can’t lose weight for anyone else but yourself and you can’t do it for any other reason than you really want to do it and you are really READY to do it. If you do it for a quick fix you will gain it back just as quickly. So YOU have to decide that you want to make a life change, eat healthy and be healthy. Just because you love to eat doesn’t mean you can’t learn to love to eat healthy foods. And just because you love to eat doesn’t mean you have to eat fattening and unhealthy choices.
Maybe the best thing for you is to seek out a good nutritionist and go for a medical checkup. Found out where you are holding medically and know what you have to do to bring any medicalissues under control. Discuss your weight loss issues with your doctor and then take that information to your nutritionist. She will help you learn to read labels, learn to make substitutions in your favorite recipes and meal plans and understand portion control. You can eat a lot of food on a good diet plan and never be hungry as long as you are eating the right foods for your particular body type and medical issues.
When you make those changes in YOUR diet and meal plans those changes carry over to your family meals which will automatically help the rest of your family learn to eat better and make healthier choices. As these choices start to have a better effect on your body you might have a little more energy to take on the exercise you have been avoiding.
