Do 30 minutes of cardio everydayGo for a jog or even walk fast.
Don t go back to old eating habits even after you lose weight
If there is no beam under it, most likely it is not a load bearing wallIs your house single story or two story? Do you have trusses or rafters and ceiling joists? Let's look at each scenarioSingle story with roof trussesThe trusses will likely span from outside wall to outside wall, or hand from a girder truss depending on the layout of your homeWith this scenario, your wall is a partition, not load bearingSingle story with rafters and ceiling joistsIf the joists break on this wall, which you can determine from looking in the attic, then yes, this is a bearing wallYou are much better hiring a contractor to remove the wall and replace with an appropriately sized headerTwo storyWithout opening up the ceiling, it would be difficult to determine whether this is a bearing wall or notSame advice, hire a contractorThe lack of a beam under this wall leads me to believe that it is not a bearing wallVerify before proceedingGood luck.
