    You have to take the bull by the horns and believe in yourself.

    Firstly change the way you eat. Try eating 6 very small meals a day instead of 3 bigger ones. One meal will be a banana or an apple or one weetbix and low fat milk, or lean meat or fish with veggies, eat wholegrain cereals, and drink plenty of water. If you eat little and often you'll speed up your metabolism and you'll feel fuller for longer. You will lose weight by eating this way as it gives your metabolism a kick up the backside. Cut down on fats and sugars.

    Exercise 5 or 6 times per week by training for 30 minutes using the interval training method. Warm up by walking briskly for 5 minutes then do say 3 minutes of weight work (using your own body weight for squats, lunges, push ups etc.) and then say 3 minutes of cardio. Try not to rest as you change from one to the other as you need to keep your heart rate up. Make sure you stretch at the end, and keep up with your water. This is far better than working slowly for a lot longer duration, and research shows that you will burn body fat. If you don't do the weight work and just cardio you will lose lean muscle and not much fat, which you want to avoid at all costs. If you retain and even add muscle you will find it easier to keep fat off. Don't worry you won't look like a body builder.

    If you must eat something naughty like chocolate then have it within 20 minutes of a hard workout and your body will burn it straight off.

    Good luck with this and just think how wonderful you'll look on your wedding day. Keep thinking of the positives, health benefits, gorgeousness, less tired, exciting shopping espeditions for new 'smaller' clothes.

    Honey don't let people get in your way, believe in yourself.

    If you wanna diet do it slowly and take your time. Pressure like this actually can cause severe mental problems such as Anorexia and Bulimia.

    I was pressurised like you are and I had so much pressure put on me that I am now Anorexic and look frail, gaunt and awful.

    So be strong and take your time - don't let them get in your way

    Take care

    the only way to help yourself out of this is to have the desire - that's really the only way it'll happen. you can choose - force yourself to painfully work out, run etc every day - and become healthy, fit, and happy (eventually, if you stick to it) - or you can have a much easier day to day life, but be stuck with your problem. it's as simple as that

    Source(s): i went from a fat lazy kid with no muscle to a fit and healthy and even a little muscular guy, and definitely 100x happier :)
