Diet Discovery

I’m 15, I live in south wales, Neath. I’m not fat as such but there are areas of fat starting to build up. I can’t afford a gym membership and because I live in such a rainy place running outside really isn’t an option for me. When I was younger there were a lot of free schemes around the area that I could do and that kept me healthy, I was a part of a cricket team but as I was the only girl when I was 12 they had to stop me from training because there was no girls team and I wasn’t aloud to stay on the boys team, or even train. I was also a good footballer but had to drop out because of ill-health. I’ve also tried basketball but they stopped the free program when I was 13. I used to take swimming lessons but because of the cost I had to stop, although if there is any way of training at a small price I would take it straight away. I’m going to start ice skating as a hobby but I’ll only be able to do that once a week, It’s obviously not going to help me get stronger. I can hardly do 1 push up and I suffer from weak bones and joints. I’ve also tried yoga but I’ve always ended up damaging my wrists. None of my family are active in any way and they are all negative about healthy eating and keeping fit, Ive tried to motivate them so I could get fit too but its always ended up in arguments but I really don’t want to turn out like them at all. I really can’t afford anything that would cost over £20 because I’m using my own money and I need to save some but I really need to start doing something, any help would be appreciated but please don’t give any really negative stuff. A bit of criticism is fine though 🙂

Damn that’s a hard situation, I know what it’s like having an unsupportive family haha! A gym membership is really the best option though, even though you said you cant afford it, but i used to do push ups etc and they did **** all. Try and eat healthy as possible as well, but good luck tricky situation
