loss of confidance

Hi Amanda. Since you've identified the main problem it's time for you to do something about it. Find a diet plan that interests you, get regular exercise and before you know it you will see the pounds start to come off. As someone who has lost weight in the past, seeing that is a real boost to your confidence! You don't necessarily have to join a gym or have fancy equipment, and it's hard to get started but, once you do, it'll get easier. I used to love taking walks and I keep trying to make myself start up again but man can I come up with excuses! Good luck to you.
