In denial about weight

I gained weight in one year and went from clothing size 8 to uk 12.
Now have a belly like a pregnant woman...

Any tips for losing it? I burned 500 calories on the treadmill today but it's not enough . I need a flat belly before my date next week

I like my legs and bigger hips, and bigger boobs since gaining weight but my belly is ugly😭

I hate it...

I still look smallish as a size 12 so im still in denial that im a fat frog...

I seriously need to loose this ugly belly. What's the best exercise?

You can't 'spot lose' weight, and certainly not in a week. Sorry.

Well the first step is probably to have some realistic goals to start with, you're not going to be able to have a flat stomach within the space of a week.

What is your diet like? Exercising is all well and good but you'll be fighting a somewhat losing battle if you don't have a decent balanced diet.

My dieting has been bad up until 2 days ago I've been eating garbage ...and drinking milk is making me fat also. I just started eating vegetables and i opted for coconut milk for coffees...

Well if you want to lose weight, it is more diet than running on the treadmill.

Eat 300-500 calories less and you will see good results but it will take a few months.

If you can’t count calories then make lifestyle changes. So more water, fast food only on occasions. Cook more filling foods and have a healthy diet. Snacks in moderation.

I advocate eating clean because “clean” foods are the ones that make you feel full and are high nutrient low calories.

Just FYI I'm a dude that's put on some weight over Y12 (I'm Y13 now) sort of by accident (I used to snack loads and never put weight on, then all of a sudden I did, I think this is quite common with metabolism changes in later teen years).

I started running last may, but was still putting on weight due to snacking. Running is great fun and a great calorie burner, but takes a while till it really pays off.

But the big change is I just stopped snacking. The last week I haven't eaten any food outside of breakfast, lunch and dinner. I've lost 2kg this week. It's not gonna make you go from obese to model but you can lose a lot by just only ingesting food for survival and real hunger NOT for comfort or boredom. The latter was a big one for me- I kept snacking just to break up the evening when I was working

Alright. I’m guessing if you are going vegan more towards the ethical animal side rather than for health reasons? Since you can still have a very health diet as a meat eater (and it makes getting enough protein easier protein is important when losing weight)
