friendly weight loss tips from croc that aren't 'destroy your body':
eat healthier! diet(not dieting) is a huge part in weight loss. ways to fix up your diet are:
1) just eating less junk food
2) when you do, drink lots of water. water bloat is better than salt bloat and goes away quicker
3) eat healthier versions of things! look for the snack with a few grams less of fat and sugar, look for organic versions that don't cost an insane amount. and instead of buying the fast food version, take the time to make your own with good ingredients! also fun fact: squat kicks while cooking are great and easy to do
4) drink ur fuckin water. lots of it
5) slow down on the carbonation. i know the bubbles are fun but they aren't very good for you. if you must, try the natural sugar versions of soda. if you have a fredmeyer's near you, their kroger brand has organic natural soda that's super good, and you can taste the different between it and soda full of corn syrup and yucky stuff. don't get me wrong, a soda here and there is yummy, but making sure the soda you're drinking is healthier is a very good idea
do casual exercise! here's some tips:
1) build up gradually. it's very much proven that trying to go from minimal or no exercise to a full workout suddenly is bad for you. what i did was started on the elliptical, and i could only do twenty minutes before dying. now, my average is forty minutes. about every week i was able to up it five or so minutes, and then one day after doing 30, i decided to try forty the next day. it worked. build yourself up at your own pace, and don't feel bad about not being able to run a marathon your first time running.
2) work things into your routine! sometimes i randomly go for weeks doing ten/fifteen/twenty squats every time i went to the bathroom. wash your hands and then do squats. you'll notice a difference, and it's really easy! do crunches every time you finish a homework assignment, have a five minute dance break after each zoom.
anyway i know that weight is often a sore subject for a lot of us, and can be a very big part of your self worth. and while people preach 'being happy with your body', sometimes you have to make a couple changes to do so! and being healthy feels good, and doesn't mean stick thin.
