I'm never going to be thin or fit...

I didn't read through all the posts on this thread, but from the couple responses I looked at, there are plenty of great ideas and tips on how to eat healthy and exercise within a tight budget. It is possible, if you really want it.

here's another one if it wasn't already mentioned:

if you have a library card, libraries carry LOTS of exercise DVDs AND books on exercise and eating healthy. If you don't have a library card...they're free.

:drinker:

frozen veggies in large bags is very affordableget a few bags of a variety of mixed, such as brocoli and cauliflower.
while 90/10 ground beef isn't the cheapest, you can buy 85/15 in large tubes at a discount price.

Eggs are very very cheap.

House brand marinara sauce (low sodium) isn't expensive when bought in a large bottle, and pasta is overall pretty inexpensive, especially when used in moderation.

Ah head of lettuce is around 2$ but for one person, it can stretch over 4 meals.

chicken breasts are affordable if you buy them places such as cost-co in large bags.

A sack of potatoes can stretch, and be prepared in a healthy manner.

check out this youtube clip,
there are many more with the same concept of incorporating cardio with weight resistance using just your body.

soup isn't the worst choice in the world when it's on sale and their are usually low sodium.

burritos? ridiculously cheap.
1 bag of kidney beans goes a very very long way.
add tortilla (again,, cheap) and some cheese. bought in bulk, cheap and can be cycled in to a LOT of meals.

chili, same thing. make the beans from scratch, get a (very cheap) can of tomatoes chopped down and add an onion (which is also very versatile.) when you buy stuff like heads of lettuce, onions, make sure they're versatile. The onion can go in yourmarinara sauce, scrambled eggs (you don't really need milk) burritos and chili. potatoes are actually healthy. Just buy in bulk as you go and things will get better.

**Also learning how to make rice (red beans and rice with chicken scraps) goes a long way.
those cheap cuts of beef, the only affordable ones? dice them down small and they can also go far. again, burritos, chili.

they have a small bag in the dry bean dept for bean soup.. buy a hamhock (cheap) and collard greens (cheap) add to the bean bag with seasoning packet (cheap) and you have at least 8 meals.

You can do it if you get a bit creative and think outside your kitchen comfort level. Beans are super easy. All you do is soak them in water over night. That's it. They're not scary at all!
A 2 dollar bag of kidney beans can easily make you 4 batches of chili. The beans are typically in 2 places in a grocery store.
By the canned beans and in the mexican food dept. compare prices, sometimes one is cheaper than the other or on sale.

Oatmeal? ridiculously cheap if you don't get instant.

Don't give up or in. Like someone else said.. it's 2 days out of 365.

I should mention, it's feeling impossible because I can't AFFORD healthy food. I can't AFFORD a gym pass. All I can do walk, I can't run because I don't have a proper bra, which I need. I can't afford one. Don't even have runners. All the food I have is salty and bad...

Actually I've said thank you more than once. And this thread should be OVER. God dammit people are just being mean because they feel all high and mighty online.
