I need some good workout DVDs or plans. I went to my doctor, and her hippie views are of no help.
I'm 5'10" and currently weigh 220lbs. My dr said I wasn't "fat enough" to "discuss weight loss plans" so here I am asking the good old internet. Up until 3 years ago, I weighed a healthy 155lbs. For my height, this IS healthy. I wanted to join the military so bad, but none of the 5 recruiters I talked to will even help me until I drop down to 160lbs. I have noticed that I'm an "emotional eater." I eat, then regret eating, then get depressed and cry, then open the fridge to feed my sadness. I can't afford the local gym anymore since they're rates went up a few months ago, so I stopped working out and started gaining more weight (was down to 200lbs). I don't even go out with my husband because I'm embarassed to be in public. I also have anxiety and had that under control (without meds) up until a few weeks ago and it started back again having 1-2 anxiety attacks a week. This morning, I was graduating nursing school and right after it, I had to rush out because another attack started coming on. I get like this even when I go grocery shopping. It's 100 degrees out and I'm wearing jeans because when I wear shorts, my thighs rub together so bad they start bleeding. I hate myself so much, but I have a hard time changing. I can't afford $60 a month for the gym, so now I'm stuck trying to find motivation at home. I've tried local weight loss groups, but the women just get together and gossip....no exercise ever gets done :-(
