Q: I am having alot of trouble losing weight.

This is my first question asked so bear with me, I am 23 years old and I feel like I am going on 60. I work 12 hour shifts from 7p-7a at a hospital between 50-60 hours a week. I have a son whom is just two months shy of three years old, and I currently weigh 16lbs less than I did at my delivery weight. No matter how well I eat and not to mention that working in a hospital I get plenty of walk time in, no matter how much I try I cannot lose weight. I need to lose about 50 pounds, my face is broken out, I am depressed, tired all the time and just never feel good. And it is not that I am lazy or anything I am constantly running, and love the outdoors and try to stay outside as much as I can but it doesnt seem to help my case, I have been considering lately trying this new acai berry diet I have been hearing so much about, because I feel like a detoxification is just what I need. I was wondering if anyone had any good facts about this diet and if it was even worth sharing, also I guess that I should add that I am a recovering eating disorder, if that is what you would call it. Before I had my son I lost 60lbs in three months due to not eating, and throught the years I have had my stints in bulemia and diet pills and although I know this is not the right route to take I feel as if I have no other choice, I have tried dieting and excercising and it did nothing for me I feel like since I had my son my metabolism will never be that of a normal metabolism, am I doomed to be overweight my whole life or does someone out there have a miracle solution.

hi candi!!!

i have something that might work for u. i was 143 pds and have lost 21 pds so far doing this. go to your local tea store buy oolong tea in loose leaf form. drink two to 3 cups per day so u will have to take it to work with you. also go to the drug store and pick up green tea capules. green tea is excellent for energy. both the tea and pills are great for boosting metabolism and burning fat. it make take a month for you to notice some loss. keep up with eating better and dont eat after 8 pm it really helps! i dropped 20 pds from june 1 to sept 1. but i know everyone is different! i hope you try this because i know 3 other ppl who have tried and are having results!!!!
