i went to get dressed last night and put on my favorite jeans...the ones that have always fit me best and they would barely button. this depressed me so much. im not happy being my size but i was just happy i'd maintained the same size for the past couple years and now ive officially gained weight. i was okay (not happy, but okay) with the way i looked before now i just feel so disgusting. i really really wanna lose weight. ive tried so mnay times with no progress and last night i decided i'm gonna start eating better and going for walks. well i woke up to crappy rainy weather (and the news says it will be this way for a few days) and i realized i dont have the money to eat better. i'm so broke. i put together a list of healthier things i want to buy to eat but at this time, i just cant afford it. im living on ramen and bread. so im getting so down. i just dont know where to start.

If you can't buy healthier things then just watch your calories. Limit yourself to about 1500-1800 a day. You won't be starving yourself but you won't be over eating either. This site has calculators for the calories you should be eating to lose and maintain your weight based on your body type and activity level. It also has a calculator showing you how many calories you burn doing certain tasks (including brushing your teeth and watching tv). I hope this is helpful to you.
Love yourself. That's all that matters!

Thanks, I'll check that out. Thing is when you're eating the types of food I can afford, you can eat up 1800 calories in such a lil amount of food that it does feel like starving yourself. That's why I'm trying to get healthier food to snack on.
