Severely obese and only 21 =0(?

I am 21 years old, and 200 pounds. I am only 5'2. I have been overweight since a kid, and have always loved food. I know questions about diets have been asked alot, but I really need help. My boyfriend and I just got our first apartment together in Maryland, because he got a great job offer. He is the only one that works right now, so we pretty much live paycheck to paycheck, so I cant afford Nutrisystem or anything like that. Doctors say that I will develop diabetes if I dont lose weight, and heart disease runs in my family. My father had a heart attack 2 years ago (he survived it) and his father died of one, so did my grandmother on my mothers side. I already have high cholesterol. Anyways Ive tried Atkins, South Beach, etc and nothing seems to work. Ive tried regular diet and excercise, but I cant stick to it. I crave Chinese food and carryout everyday. It makes me sooo happy to eat out or get delivery. I hate cooking and home cooked meals. I feel completely helpless at this point, and I really dont know what to do. I have also been checked for thyroid disease, but my thyroid is fine, so its not that. If anyone has been in my position or can help please let me know what to do!!



Thanks!Severely obese and only 21 =0(?
okay so you basically have to make a choice...



it's really really simple



basicallyyyyy....



choose your health or choose your lifestyle



do you want a shorter unhealthier life or do you want to be healthy?



if you choose the first one (unhealthy) then there's not much else to do, just keep living like the way you are now



if you want to lose weight and try and avoid risks of diseases and better your appearance then diet and excercise is the way to go =]



now chinese food is RLyyyyyY bad for you ... well at least the takeout chinese



its okay to eat out, but you have to eat out at the right places and eat the right foods =]



you have to excercise too, diet will help you lose weight but it won't make you healthy! its a two part thing =]



for me i swim... maybe you'll enjoy swimming too



swimming is great because the water in which you swim in supports your joints, so for bigger people swimming has no risks but ALL the benefits =]



plus its fun =]



dont forget to eat your veggies and fruits....



stay away from the sweets, the oils (olive is good for you though) and the fast food D; that stuff is baddd for you



you gotta choose your own lifestyle, but personally i would definitely choose to be healthy
