Website design By BotEap.comStart by paying attention to what you eat. Cut down on fat and sweets and add more fruits and vegetables. After you get that under control, add exercise. If you hate working out, try it for just 15 minutes a day at first, then 1/2 hour. Keep in mind that while you exercise you are burning calories and not eating. Also, it will be easier if you think of an activity that you enjoy.
