I'm wanting to make improvements, now that I'm moving back with my mom I can fix up my diet because I'll actually have a say in what gets made for dinner, plus I just finished highschool and am planning to take some time off school/work stuff and focus more on improving myself and figuring out what I really want to do. It will probably be at least a year.

So anyways! I'm looking for suggestions regarding a super cheap healthy diet I can follow, I want to eat healthier and I also want to start some sort of simple exercises I can do st home to help me tone up and lose some belly fat... I'm 5'2 and I think just above 140lbs so I'm apparently overweight?? 😳 I'm not a fan of the belly flubb.

We're like, ultra poor, and I'm a complete noob with the whole healthy diet scene and there's just so much information that you'll find online that is not true at all. So here I am asking real people!

What can I do? 😊 I feel like I keep repeating myself in each little paragraph, I hope it wasn't annoying to read.. as a side note I'm not a good cook. I'm just literally not sure of anything here, all I know is I want to improve my body and my health. I'd really love help making a schedule of some sort to follow, regarding the diet and exercise, I have no issues eating pretty much the same thing all week (I mean like, something different each day but keeping it the same each week for simplicity).

Right now all I know is that I'm going to be drinking only water, no junk food/less sugar, and more salad (I love salad/pasta salad).

I'm sorry I'm dragging on... I just wanted to add that another big reason I want to eat a specific healthy diet is because I'm always tired because of my current crappy diet and it's hard to exercise when you're always feeling so lazy and crappy, which doesn't go well with the fact that I'm not too pleased with my body right now. Ya know?

Again, apologies for the long post, hopefully people here can help? 😀
