I have gained about 30 pounds in the last twoyears. I am very unhappy with how I look and I actively avoid food and wait until I am about to pass out to eat. Yesterday, the first time I ate was at 7pm.

Research has shown that if you eat at regular meal times the body can regulate your weight better. The trick is to consume less than you use in a day. To manage this its better to eat your recommended daily amount then exercise so you are using up excess energy

Thats good, I would suggest that you either join a local group or sign up to a online one. Maybe try one that includes meal plans for the week, support chat group that can motivate you.

That is actually a very good idea - we have a puppy and he is struggling with weight gain too I definitely feel that we should start doing that

depending on the dog breed then puppy will need upto multiple walks a day. So its a great time to start walking then you can move up to a run
