Weight/diet advice??

Question

ok well ive been suffering from depression and anxiety for well over a year now brought on by stress of colege etc and it runs in the family.

anyway ive put on nearly 2 stone due to the fact that i have hardly gone out of the house for ages and where some people who are dressed under eat i think i comfort ate instead on foods like chocolate cereal and other rubbish and i dont even have that much of a sweet tooth.

before i was around 7 stone and im 5.5.5ft so basically 5ft6

and now im around 9 stone so im in the healthy bmi range but the weight ive put on is basically all fat so im really unhappy with how i look hence why i hardly go out any more and it doesnt help my depression so its like a never ending cycle.

anyway im a uk size 12 now and before i was a 6/8 but id like to get back to a size 8.

ive only been put back on anti depressants since 2 weeks ago but im already starting to feel much better but i dont think il feel brave enough to start going out more for like long walks until another 3 or 4 weeks.

anyway i was thinking of eating stuff like this

b- porridge(made with water) or special k with skim milk and green tea

snack -an apple and cottage cheese

l- chicken salad and fruit like berries

snack- strips of red pepper or raw mushrooms with low fat houmous

d-home made vegetable soup or fish and veggies

and im going to try not to eat anything after 6pm

does that sound ok or not? especially since as im not exercising much at the moment. once im feeling a bit better im hoping to start daily long walks as i used to love walking everywhere.

oh and im 19 years old just incase you were wondering.

I was once a very big girl I'm only 5 ft 1 and now weigh 8 stone i was 13 stone so i have been very big.  It's a life of dieting I'm afraid if u want to keep it off there is lots of exercise u can do in the house no need to go out if u don't want to yet, I do most exercise at home and here are a few i do but all depends where u want to lose the weight mine is legs thighs and bottom so i run up and down the stairs 10 times a night or more depending on time , i have an exercise bike to, and i have lots of work out DVDs witch can be good fun but shop around for them i like dancing so have one or two of them and then i have slower one,s to. Eat 3 meals a day with health snacks there is a lot of health options in the supermarkets so there is a good Choice

You can do bodyweight exercises in the privacy of your home and jump start your the feeling better process.

I have written a page on body weight exercises if you would like to check them out. I recommend them to my clients because they



1) don't require any equipment

2)can be done in your own home or while traveling

3)and you won't injure yourself doing them



They also give you functional strength and build your core up.

I know you mentioned you not excercising much at this moment, but will when you feel better.....working out is a great way to help with depression!  I went through a rough time about 6 months ago...and working out really helped me get through it.  I think what you are eating sounds good, but if you work out you wont have to watch it as much...plus you will feel so much better about yourself =)

Good Luck!!
