Exercise motivation?

[Anonymous]

I really need to lose weight, but I don't have any motivation. I just sit at home all day and watch videos on my computer. I am 15, with a height of 5'5". My weight was last seen at 143, but that was several months ago (I don't have a scale). In other words, I'm FAT, and I don't wish to be. My clothes don't fit me, and I can't wear them like I normally do without my gut getting in the way.
I've had an eating disorder in the past, and I did try healthy eating too, but I don't have enough self-control to stay away from the junk my family buys. They only buy soda, top ramen, and other junk. My attempts to ask for healthier foods didn't work; processed garbage is much cheaper, and we're not wealthy.
What are some tips to get me to start my day right? How can I motivate myself to wake up and begin stretches/exercises? That's what I'd like to do. I want to wake up early, make a cup of tea, and exersize, but I can never break out of my lazy habits. Sometimes I have insomnia, too, so getting up early just isn't an option.
Please help me. I never want to become obese, but it's so easy to do in the United States.

get a part time job and buy your own food. that'd be a start. plus while working you're busy and active compared to sitting t home. you'll get more exercise and less chance to eat poorly and money to control what you do what you do eat:)

eat gigantic salads with lots of vegetables a bit of olive oil lean meat or cottage cheese. have streaked vegetables with spices and low fat protein source. eat whole grain cereals and low fat milk. have low fat yogurt with fruit. whole grain past with stevia cinnamon and low fat cream cheese for a treat. male a yogurt fruit smoothie...

there are a lot of things you can eat that won't cost you more than ten $ a day which if you work two hours a day,. 5 days a week, you'd have.

Start baby sitting our dog walking or lawn mowing get a paper route or find a store you can help out in. hit the pavement, look around, go door to door... it will give you more motivation to just be out there looking :-)

I'm 15. I can't get a job. I have no car, nor a license, and most places won't hire a 15 year-old. Going door-to-door is trouble waiting to be had, and I have anxiety. No thanks.
I don't have access to salads, but I'll start asking my family if they can get some... I'm still a teenager. I have to rely on my mom. And believe me, she knows nothing about healthy eating. If I ask her to get something she'd give up searching.
Thank you for your suggestions.

Although, I know about healthy eating. I just choose to eat garbage because I'm constantly around it (thanks family). The exercise is my biggest concern. I don't have motivation.

do you think your mom could afford getting you a bag of frozen vegetables for 1 $ and bag of salad for 250$ a day. thats 350 a day. thats 100$ a month. exercise is not your only problem. ion you eat crap you won't get proper nutrients and if you eat more than you need you won't lose weight.

can you go shopping with your nom so you can at least find the food?

as for exercise do things you enjoy; is there anything you like to do?

you dont need exercise per se to loose weight, exercise is just an activity to set the "seed". Muscles just as Abs are made in the kitchen not the gym.

What you need is a reasonable diet that is tailored for you or YOU tailor for yourself (it ain't that hard) and determination to go through with your plan.

I could go into the details but i am a bit busy atm and could help you when i come back from work ^^

your not fat

[Asker]

For my age, height, and genes, I am. It's not a situation where I look in the mirror and say I'm fat. I know I am. I have a gut and a lot of fat on my hips.

[lopflodin]

thing says your American so im assuming 143lbs as thats your standard if so around 65kgs at 5'5 your not fat

[Asker]

Oops. I forgot the measurements. Sorry if that's confusing. Yes, it's measured by lbs.
