Please excuse the formatting, I have no idea what happened and I'm on mobile lol, and it's a lot so I have the gist of it down below.
To start: I have always had a bit of a weight problem. It's been embedded in me that no matter what I do I'm always going to have this problem. I've never had any medical issues due to this (blood pressure fine, heart rate fine, etc), but I want to get good habits now so I don't have problems in the future. Even when I was a kid, my mom would always try to put me on diets. I have tried and tried to exercise and eat right, but it's always hard to discipline myself enough. Being at the age I am, I feel like its hard for me to unlearn bad habits. This means my "cheat days" get more and more frequent and I'm right back where I was if not worse.
So, I'll give you a somewhat run down of my body shape /what I look like to kind of get an idea of where I'm at, how I'm proportioned, and my real problem areas.
I'm pretty chubby, but I've been told I'm not exactly "fat." I'd like to think I have nice curves here and there, and my body is naturally an hourglass figure even at the weight I am now and my height (very very fucking short).
My legs/thighs are thick, and I've been told the thick with two c's, like they're big but they're also quite strong. Also because this is a part of my lower half, I have been told I have a nicely shaped butt, which I feel like is due to me doing 100 squats a day for quite a while at one point. Like I said, kinda hourglass shaped. I would really like to tone my legs and my butt though so there isnt a lot of cellulite. I know it might always have some cellulite, but I would like to see less. I'd also like to lift my butt a bit more and give it more vavoom, like definition. This mothafucka used to look like a nice ass peach.
My arms are uh I guess not really toned at all to say the least. This is one of the bigger issues I have along with what's about to come next. I have big arms. My triceps and shoulders are nowhere near where they should be and theyre just not tight, and I would love for them to be. I feel like I have old lady wing arms, and I'm only 19. It messes with my confidence enough to where I just can't wear any short sleeve/tank tops/sleeveless shirts without feeling like my arms are bigger than my head and not in a muscular way. I would love love love to tighten them and tone them.
Here comes the biggest issue that I've always had. I also have a lil pooch, which I call my lower stomach that kinda sticks out a bit. When I say a bit it sticks out like a lot and I try to wear high waisted pants most of the time to hide it. My whole stomach isn't completely round though. The top half of my abdomen is somewhat flat, but needs toning for sure, but it doesn't stick out like the pooch. I don't really want abs or anything, but I would really like it to just be kinda flat, I'm not asking for supermodel flat or skinny skinny flat, but enough to wear I can wear regular pants that don't go up to my belly button.
I have one last issue that's a smaller issue that I have but this issue causes me a great deal of pain and I feel like strengthening my back would really help relieve it. Even being at my height and even when I was at my best weight, I have very large breasts. I lose weight but weight is never lost in these bad boys. Right now, for reference so you know how much weight it puts on my back, they are 34DDD/36DD's. They're like freaking 4lbs each I swear (not really, idk, I never weighed them on their own but they're pretty damn heavy).This causes me extreme issues like me not being able to sit up straight for long periods of time, or just my back having to crack all the time. Again, it doesn't help I'm short and it feels like I'm just hunching over all the time. I think getting my back stronger though will help alleviate this pain, it might not take it all away, but it'll help for sure.
I have worked out before, I've dieted before, I've been able to lose 5lbs a week easily. I still get extremely discouraged by looking in the mirror though. I try to tell myself I know won't see results immediately, that it takes time. I just end up giving up, accepting that this is my fate, but I don't want it to be. I want to be happy in my own skin and feel like I'm able to wear the clothes I want to wear without being seriously critical of myself. Being over critical of myself has made me also not want to go to the gym. I feel like when I walk in everyone is staring, but I also know they're also just trying to better themselves too. All this makes me just lose the motivation. I need some way to keep that motivation going. The "I'm not happy in my own skin, I haven't been happy in my own skin, I'm really going to do something about it and stick to it" motivation that I get but just cannot seem to keep.
I need workouts, I need nutrition/food plans THAT ACTUALLY WORK. Of course I've seen diet plans but half the time they're bogus and only work to reach a certain goal. I want something that I can really stick to for really as long as I can that keeps me healthy after I get to my goal weight. So more like a lifestyle choice rather than quick fix.
TL;DR : I wanna tone really my whole body, some parts more than others and lose weight. I need some workouts I can really stick to and some food plans I can stick too that won't make me hate my life. I also need ideas to help stay motivated and not get so discouraged so quickly. Lastly, I need ways to really push myself to go to the gym as much as I don't want to some days because I'm psyching myself out saying that everyone is staring. I'm looking for real advice, not something from a magazine, like I really wanna know things you guys have done that has really stuck with you (workouts, food plans, motivation).
Thank you for those who read the whole thing, and thank you to those who even just read the lil blurb down below. I appreciate everyone's comments and suggestions.
