I'm not a stick anymore, since I left school I've had no exercise and been eating from boredom, and put on a stone. ALL of it on my hips and bum.
Maybe you should try just a little exercise then? Get your boyfriend to join in, or some friends. Set a date or something.
Most people gain weight when they leave school- especially if you've got nothing to occupy yourself. I'm in the same boat, tbh. Want to lose the weight that I've put on around my stomach. You could probably do core stability exercises whilst watching TV or something if you're really bored- they'll strengthen the muscles.
But as Phil said, starving isn't the answer. I bet the moment you find someway of occupying yourself, the weight will fall off.
This. Watching what you eat is a great start, but you`re never going to get the results you`re after without a decent exercise regime. Most educational establishments have gym facilities and cost next to nothing to join. If that`s not an option, all you need is a pair of running shoes, an exercise mat, a stability ball and a couple of small weights. For burning fat, a slow jog for around 30 minutes a session, 3-4 times a week, is ideal. Walk everywhere you can, rather than driving or getting the bus. Throw in some stability exercises like Alice suggested, maybe some aerobics, some light resistance training and you`ll be fine.
As far as the diet goes, two meals a day is not enough. Never skip breakfast. Fruit and fibre, wholemeal toast, poached eggs, fruit or fruit juice. Anything like that is a proper job. For the rest, just a case of eating sensibly. We all know what things are bad for us and what things aren`t. Drink plenty of water and allow yourself the odd treat like a bit of butter on a jacket spud, or what have you.
It`s more a lifestyle change than a diet. Diets never last. Don`t get disheartened if you don`t lose any weight one week. A women`s body weight will fluctuate a lot more than a bloke`s, anyway.
