You need to find a fun exercise program like zumba or ballet workouts . Something that doesn ' t feel like exercise but is more . fun than anything . This will boost your self . confidence too . Just don ' t fall into the anorexia trap like I did . It may make you lose weight short term , but long term it ruins your metabolism and self esteem . Get active girly and have fun ! Also , don ' t stop eating the food you love . Just eat it in small meals . For example , if you get a yummy calzone , eat it in small portions throughout the entire day . Only eat until you ' re not starving and put it away for later . This has helped me more than anything ! I love food . Love it . So this is a way to enjoy it without gorging yourself . Good luck sweetheart ! You are beautiful no matter what .
