I need some weight loss motivation and tips after a break-up?

Question

My boyfriend of a year and a half recently broke up with me and I've been feeling depressed. I've been finding ways to fill my time (renting movies, spending time with friends, etc..) and I figured what better thing to focus on than losing weight and exercising.

I weigh around 290lbs (wow...) and I am 5'11. Since I'm so tall, I don't look THAT gigantic, as opposed to some people nearing 300lbs who are say, only 5'1- but still... most of my weight is in my stomach area and I have A LOT of weight to lose.

I need motivation, tips (besides the usual "drink 8 glasses of water, always take the stairs, do 30 minutes of cardio a day, etc..) Anything is appreciated. Success stories are always motivating too!

Thanks!

Answer 1

I just had a break up too, I am 186lbs. I wanted to lose weight and fortunately I just graduated from HS and got to enter a bootcamp class 3 days a week. Before you can enter the class they calculate your body fat % and your muscle mass%. I have 135 lbs. of muscle meaning I can't weigh less than 145 and be healthy. So if you're being honest with yourself about carrying weight well you might also have plenty of muscle which raises your ideal weight. which makes your goal closer and you won't be a toothpick but more like misty may treanor

Abs exercises do NOT burn fat away from your abs! This can only be accomplished through a full body training routine that maximizes both your metabolism and your hormonal response to your workouts. This is the main secret revealed in the'Truth about Six Pack Abs Program'.

Answer 3

What I think about when I try to motivate myself during a diet is thinking about this feeling I get around cute boys and how they probably aren't getting the same feeling around me because I'm a lardass...

I guess this isn't really good motivation after a break up lol sorry...
