ok, its summer, and I really don't want to gain a ton of weight, because i'm not getting a lot of exercise now. i used to have PE in school, and my diet was very small as I was busy (physically and emotionally), but now i am eatting bigger meals, and I have a tendency to eat out of boredom. I'm trying to stay healthy, I've cut out snacks as much as possiblle, but I feel like my meals are too big. I can't follow the norm eating 6 small meals, because the foods my parents make are hard to eat in small portions, or skip. I'm 4' 1'' 3/4 , and I weigh eighty pounds. I have to exercise at night, because my parents get mad if they see me exercising ( they keep worrying that im going to get an eating disorder) and I can't use equipment, or wear shoes, and my calves get sore easily. I have tried to create an exercise plan, but no matter what i do, I feel like that stupid double chin im starting to get wont go away! i'm thiking of just free style dancing instead of doing proper exercise.the way i dance is just a mix of everything, random head banging, hip hop, and just jumping around. in between that i do random push ups, crunches, jumping jacks, and other toning exercises. do you think this is a good way for me to maintain my weight and lose fat, instead of trying to do proper exercise? and how long should i do this each day? to see results?i do HAVE shoes to wear, but i have to do it in my room, and i don't know, it just feels weird. i used to free dance for exercise during the school year, and I always felt like i was maintaining my weight better.
