You shouldn't let weight loss be your primary motive to get in better condition. The slow process of losing weight will be too discouraging and the gimmicky weight loss program to speed up the process may work quicker; but you risk regaining the weight in the long term.
Perhaps you need to try and see this from another perspective. What if we considered that weight loss in itself is not a goal. Maybe weight loss is a side effect of the result of working on other goals. My experience has shown me that people who loose weight and keep it off are those who change their behaviour and focus on improving their attitude toward themselves.
I really want you to explore the idea that treating your body poorly is often a reflection of a more destructive behavioural patter that you hold yourself in.
-When you're angry, you need to express that your angry without shouting and putting people down. Poorly managed anger can cause very self destructive behaviour.
-When you're sad you absolutely need to recognize that it's a perfectly normal emotion and talking about it with someone you care about can have an enormous impact on helping you to understand your feelings. Sadly; emotional eating is very common.
-Being withdrawn from people will cause feelings of isolation that can have a negative impact on how you view yourself in relation to others. Slowly make an effort to be with people.
-Cut out negative self talk. In the beginning, just recognize when you're doing it. In time you'll not only catch yourself when you're putting yourself down; but you'll notice it naturally begins to diminish in frequency.
The bottom line is that you really need to start managing your behaviour, because it's your behaviour that dictates how you act and therefore is the motivator of how you act toward yourself.
If you are overweight you should consult your health care provider to determine if you suffer from a medical condition.
