losing weight is the hardest thing to do

Losing weight is the hardest thing for me to do. During the holidays (christmas and new year) i cant resist those mouth-watering foods especially lechon, the Filipino's all time favorite food. Despite of the cholesterols and extreme calorie content we dont really care because holiday is best time to eat the food that we want like carbonara, menudo, crispy pata, kare-kare, morcon, ham, barbeque, salad, cakes, etc.
I gain 10 lbs of my normal weight and I should say that i'm getting bigger and bigger. I need to keep my self healthy altough i love eating a lot. My friends always tease me and im not happy how they make fun of me.
I need to do something to get back my confidence and make myself happy and proud. I'm taking one step at a time and i can't promise to do it everyday but i'll do my very best to lose weight and bring back the good times of me being sexy. hahahaha. :) Here are some ways on how we could stay healthy.
Do the exercise. it is very important for us to stay healthy and keep our body fit and burn those calories that we take for the day, its not necessary for us to enroll ourselves in a gym because we could still do it at home. by simply walking around, do the dishes, laundry and other house hold chores you're actually burning those fats. you could also do squats and instead of using dumbells you could use a bottle of water that usually weigh 5 lbs and do 3 seta of 15 squats.
Eat healthy. Eating healthy is tricky but of course we have to be sure that we dont only eat what we want but we have to eat what we need. avoid junk foods and sweets. Add more vegies. Even vegetables doesnt taste good we have to make sure that we add vegies to our meal beccause it is rich with beta-carotine and fiber. and fiber will help us to regualte good digestion and healthy body and mind.
Lessen the carbs. There is a wrong notion that avoiding carbs is a good way of losing weight, yeah somehow but avoiding carbs is not right because carbs is our source of energy without it we wont be able to do our task the normal way. it would always be better for us just to lessen the carbs that we take, instead of eating one cup of rice per meal, why dont we cut it into half so our body could easily adjust to the calorie intake that we have little by little.
