How come the fat around my stomach aint coming off?

Q. Ive quit binge eating, ive only been drinking water, ive been exercising 30 mins a day,everyday,ive been doing this for over a month now, and the fat doesnt seem to be coming off my stomach.Why is this?

A. The reason you aren't losing fat around your stomach is probably because you are only doing cardio. When you do cardio (walking, running, biking, ect) you make everything proportionally smaller. For example, if you are shaped like an apple, (large middle, smaller legs) and you do cardio, you will only become a smaller apple shape. That means your legs will get smaller, your stomach will get smaller, your arms will get smaller, but they will look the same proportion. You need to do weight training on the areas that you want to change, there are plenty of exercises that you can to that focus on the stomach. Try looking some exercises up online... but a good one I use is going to the gym and they have a stand that you can do sit ups on but it looks like this... \... your legs are at the top and your head is at the bottom, your head is lower than your body. Then you hold a weight and do a few sets of 8-10 reps. You will start to build muscle, and the muscle will burn the fat on your stomach as you exercise and even while you are resting. If you stay committed to including weight training, you WILL see results.. I promise!!!

how could i have lost weight from binge eating for 2 weeks?
Q. so i have been binge eating for 2 weeks due to emotional reasons.
the nurse weighed me last friday and i was up 3kg from when i first started binge eating (i was 54kg then i was up to about 58kg, cant remember) then today i weighed myself and i am 55.1kg
how is this possible?

A. your weight fluctuates on average two pounds everday. some times more or less.
it depends on the time of day you weighed yourself. to get accurate results you must weigh yourself the same time everyday. wear the same clothes. use the washroom or eat the same amount of meals before weighing yourself. thats why most people weigh themselves right when they get up, after using the washroom and before showering. "when they are the lightest"
also, the fact that different scales were used will change your results.

How did you stop yourself from binge eating/eating junk food?
Q. I wanna lose some weight and tone up, but I can't resist myself from eating! I eat when I'm not even hungry. And my mom keeps bringing in junk food despite me asking her not to, soooo it's basically not an option to not bring it into the house. So what did you guys do, who have been in similar situations, to stop yourself from eating too much? And also, I eat rice everyday... should I switch to brown rice? One last question, how long did it take you (especially if you're a woman) to lose weight? I'm not overweight, but I'm not satisfied with my thighs, so I'm just wondering how long it will take to lose thigh fat..? Thanks in advance.
Oh and I'm planning on starting on Insanity and jogging once exams are done... Hopefully I'll stick. Any helpful hints to follow through with the exercises would also be nice. ;D

A. Something that helps me is drinking mineral water or a herbal tea that I like the taste of instead. I drink that in large quantities which distracts me from junk food and keeps me full. Make it a habit and it'll replace the junk in no time at all. It;s just about breaking a habit and the easiest way is by replacing it with a new healthier one.
