It's so sad that people STILL want to go through that, when they hear other peoples tramatic stories about bulimia. It's crazy that if someone sticks to a healthier lifestyle, they can lose fat slowly and steadily and be at their goal weight in 6 months. Otherwise they waste years trying to find a quick fix. You will be able to lose it sooner than 6 months. But for now, take it week by week. Make weekly goals, realistic ones (not like losing 5 pounds in a week) try, "Walking every morning for 25 minutes" then each week add another goal. You will feel like you have succeeded every week. Reward yourself with enjoying how your body feels. IT'S GONNA HAPPEN THIS TIME!! I PROMISE!! Just don't give up. Remember, this is for life! :)
