So I'm pretty short I want to lose weight and but have no gym what can I do to drop weight fast, should I. Cut of soda juice all breads and rice and stick to pure fish chicken and egg whites?

I need any tips I don't think I'm that fat but I gained a lot since the last time I weighted myself and that's cause I let go of everything I was doing on top of that
My family keeps making fun of me telling me things like

"You are fat" you are xxxl stuff like that I feel sad worse about myself I can't stop eating. "Bad" stuff I feel so sad I feel ugly I know I'm not but I do most of the times

Well you can always go for a run or do any form of exercise you prefer. But you'll have to stay consistent. It's going to take time to lose 40 pounds but as long as you keep up with exercise everyday or every other day, you'll see improvements. Also remember that every step counts. Don't expect to run 3 miles tomorrow. If you keep working at it, you'll get there sooner or later so just set up small goals. Once you complete one (no matter how small) your brain will release dopamine which will make you feel good so it's better to have lots of little goals than one massive goal which could be intimidating.

As for nutrition, I'd say having a balanced diet is the best. Definitely cut off soda if you can as well as anything else you eat that is loaded with artificial sweeteners/sugar. Try to cut back on calories but not to the point where you're starving yourself... Hope this helps!

"have no gym" - there's a free gym everywhere. calisthenics, sports and running

Cut refined sugars out completely (the stuff you put in your coffee), but keep natural sugars (fruits), don't cut all carbs (bread, rice, pasta) but simply reduce it, increase protein (chicken, beef) and increase fats (peanut butter, olive oil); but most importantly decrease your caloric intake (very important)

Workout and cut calories to reduce weight, if you need a way to track it use the "fitnesspal app" to help track you caloric intake. Good luck and stay positive.

Well you need to exercise daily at least 30 mins to an hour. just eat healthy no extreme diets necessary. but yourself esteem needs to come from u because losing 30 lbs isn't going to magically take away all of your self-esteem issues

-DEFINITELY drop sodas, they are horrible for you body!
-drink more water
-cut back on preservative packed foods
-cut back on greasy and sugary foods
If you feel you are eating too much bread and rice you can cut back but I wouldn't stop eating all together. Bread and rice provide essential nutrients needed for your body. Believe it or not, carbs are needed in a healthy diet. As far as your low self esteem goes, keep your chin up. You are probably an awesome person and true friends won't judge you for appearance. Family will always pick on each other, but at the end of the day they love you and will be there for you!:)

Losing body fat is a process, there's no quick way really. Diet is key! Eat less carbs (100grams/day or less) and be more active overall.
