ME?+
Went from a waist 6-7 to 2-3.+
130lbs to 112-115lbs in about 1 month and some daysOk I didn't read through ALL these posts lol. But I'm just gunna post up some stuff that helped me this summer. If you're like me, I tried many times to lose weight. Stopped eating, ate, got fatter. I can lost weight in an instant but gain it all back in an instant. My weight is constantly changing.
I recently moved and the place I live now is horrible. My body is not used to the high temperature and humidity. So eating heavy foods, just made me feel so horrible and sluggish. I started getting rashes, ect. Basically I had to get my mind set on eating healthy. It wasn't about losing weight but thinking about healthy foods and eating food that is easy for a stomach to digest. Easy to digest foods is a good way for your stomach to empty out all that junk thats been piling up in your stomach. and also you can eat more ^^ (healthy food that is).
I started out doing a master lemon cleanse. This is basically a fasting diet. But its not about not eating. It's about undoing all the damage you've done to your stomach when you were eating heavy, junk foods, and more. When I did this cleanse, I also had to think about cleansing my body, NOT losing weight. The day before I started I had only ate salad and fruits. Next, I went about 12 days without eating anything but drinking the lemon recipe. (Raw lemon juice, Canyanne pepper, maple syrup gradeB) After not eating for almost 2 weeks, I slowly eased back into food. By beginning with drinking 100% orange juice all day. Then soup, salad. After I finished all this, my body felt light and I was able to digest food without feeling groggy or painfully full. I had lost 10lbs from that. But it's mostly water weight anyway.
After I did the cleanse, I wanted to focus on now losing weight. I dislike having muscles (muscular tone) so I don't think about working out or getting muscle in me to lose fat. Thats just me. Also lets face it, I'm not the type of person to excerise regularly. I move around enough, go to school, walking anywhere I can. I like to walk and stretch after I eat.
Since I cleansed my body for 2 weeks of junk food and waste that piled up inside, I started out with low calorie foods. Basically what worked for me was just cutting out all junk food. I started making salads everyday. Homemade sandwiches. I didn't buy any premade food from the store. I ate a lot of fruits that are highly acidic to help digest foods. I don't go out to eat. I don't eat fast food. I don't eat t.v. dinners. (except for some Lean Cuisine) I don't eat any candy or foods that contain high sugar at all. Yes, there's days where I crave candy so bad.. like gummy frogs or apple rings. But I try to keep my mind off of that.. If I cant, I just make some coffee with milk or eat maple oatmeal that has a little sweet flavor. Once you get in your mind that you can EAT HEALTHY, you can start losing weight without thinking all day about losing weight. It won't work if you just think about losing weight. Because after you lose weight, who's to say you wont go back to your weight before because you can't change your eating habits.. or you start eating a lot. It's just basically controlling yourself, controlling your mind. There's a lot of times where I just want to eat rice, noodles, steak, burgers, everything I can think of. But I don't. Because I had to train myself to not go for those things and go for healthy things. Then I start thinking about my body being healthier and me being able to move around.. And everything feels better after that.
Also, what you used to read.. about eating breakfast makes you lose weight. I found that for me personally, It's true. Do NOT eat a heavy meal at night before you go to sleep. Before you go to sleep, make sure you leave 1-2 hours of eating nothing. It's like.. eating a bag of potato chips then sitting down and watching tv. It's all going into your body and building there. Sometimes I go to sleep with my stomach growling but I have to deal with it. Cause I know I'm going to be falling alseep in a few minutes so why would I want to eat and then sleep with that food still trying to digest. So going back into eating breakfast... Most of the time, Since I fixed my diet, I wake up, get some school stuff together and then I'll have to go to the bathroom to do a #2. That's a good sign because it shows that my body digested everything I ate yesturday and it's ready to come out. I eat breakfast every morning. I used to skip it even when I read countless times that when you sleep your body goes into starvation mode and then when you wake up and you don't eat.. by the time you finally eat, all your eating goes straight into fat to store. And now I know that that's true. So even if I'm not hungry I try to eat every morning. I like to eat Oatmeal because its low in calories, easy to make before school and fulls me up because of the wheat and grains.
Mostly the things I eat now are,
-Banana's (3-4 a day) Slow digestion but good
-Maple oatmeal (the small instant package kinds) 100 cal.
-Gritz (the small instant package kinds) 100 cal.
-Homemade Salad (tomatoes, cucumbers, romaine lettuce, cheese, premade cut grilled chicken (the ones they sell with the sandwich meats), jalapenos, cayenne pepper)
-Homemade Sandwich (1-2 slices of meat, 1-2 slices of swiss cheese, dejon musturd, 100% wheat bread)
& Small Dill Pickles
I started keeping a food journal. It helps my mind think about eating healthy foods.
Even if the foods are repetitive, I write everything down.
Look up some of the things that aid in digestion. I love to put cayenne pepper in whenever I can.
Red pepper/spicy ingredients aid in digestion.
I started trying to eat organic foods and drink.
Problem is, organic produces costs more than regular foods. that sucks doesn't it?
Right now I'm just trying to figure out which other foods I can eat, that I can easily make and buy. I really hate it how health food magazines or websites have recipes, but the recipes include soooo many ingredients you need or ingredients that are not in a "regular" person's home. Also I'm on a very tight budget as I don't work right now and i'm relying on my parents $$ who live in another state. So buying new foods, ingredients, appliances is not gunna cut it. Also, I am not a regular cooker.. So having to make everything by scratch, boil, chop, steam, ect.. just annoys the heck out of me. So that's what I'm doing right now.. trying to find good food, low calories, easy to make, cheap, fast fast fast. Or at least good snacks. I can deal with eating snacks all day then eating full meals. Since I love eating
Snacking is more fun.
Now I feel healthy, I'm skinnier, My moods are better. When I think of junk foods like chips or soda I get grossed out. One morning at school I was deathly tired from staying up and hungry from running late and not eating. I grabbed a Sprite cause I knew water wouldn't keep my stomach from growling and wouldn't keep me awake. The soda tasted nasty. Just months before I drank sprite almost everyday. I loved soda.. but now it has a weird flavor and not good at all. I got excitied that I didn't like the soda anymore. Helps.
And that's it.
To whoever read this.. lol, if you have any questions or anything just let me know.
Pm me or whatever you want.

I commend everyone who has the willpower to try it and persevere through the process because I know I'd be too weak. >_<
Thanks for giving me all this advice! I'll try to put it to good use. Btw, how long did it take you to be able to run 6 miles a day without dropping dead? 
I live in a neighborhood with various subdivisions so I would challenge myself by going farther and farther into my neighborhood. Maybe one day I'll decide to run past this subdivision and stop and then run back home. I did this for about 2 weeks until I ran the entire length of my neighborhood and back (6-7 miles).
