So sick of myself, need to lose a lot of weight!!!?

i am overweight and i don't eat a lot and i walk all the time. i don't have any money to by the essential fruits and veg. any suggestions on where i can start, and how to stay motivated. there is no junk food in the house and i cannot afford to eat 3+ times a day. some one please help
Answer:
I would start doing more than walking, especially if that's all you've been doing for a while. It'll make your body work harder, therefore you're losing more weight. As for eating healthy, if you can't afford essential fruits and vegetables then just take it one at a time. Just buy maybe 2 fruits or 2 vegetables when you go grocery shopping. But it would be better if you just increased your exercise.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)
Losing weight seems to be one of the most frustrating things ever. For food just try to stay away from really fatty things like soda, and fast food. You don't need to buy expensive foods just eat healthier foods. I started using an excercise tape in order to help me excercise everyday and stay motivated. It's called the "10 Minute Solution- Blast off Belly Fat." Walking is only beneficial if you are walking above a comfortable pace. Definitely try an excercise tape, and don't drink soda. If you really can't afford to eat 3 times a day, then maybe you should consider applying for food stamps.
You may have an overactive thyroid, which will make you big. My friend has that and she has a hard time too, loosing weight. I really think that the weight watchers program, works, and is very healthy, and you can loose the pounds with this group.If that is not affordable, then ,watch what you are eating, especially bread, potatoes, sugar, milk, alcohol., and other fatty foods. Keep on exercising, as it is very healthy for you to do.
