Topic : Overeating

Let your friends know that you don't enjoy the evening when you don't eat with them. Be honest about your weight loss endeavours. Good friends will understand. I have one friend and she knows that I am trying to lose weight. When we go out she always orders just water with me, and it helps to know there is someone who isn't eating. If the other friends say things like "that is stupid" or  "it's just a myth that you will gain weight if you eat later." She will go "ok well we need to go now"

And it is hard to get controll for that week, but stick reminders up. I have pictures of my family on the fridge and cupboards because they are the reason I am losing weight. That week can in fact help you lose weight. One week turns into two which turns into a month which turns into a year and so on. Good luck with your week of controll!!!!!

i am 14 years old an i have been overweight for a while,a lot of the time i act like it does not bother me  but sometimes when it comes up in school its hard to forget. sometimes though it would be nice for someone(guy)to see past that and accept me for the way i am.don't get me wrong there are guys who i am friends with and can talk to but i just wanna be accepted like other people.

Hi

First of all, lose weight for yourself not for your mother.  Second, everyone has an ideal weight.  You have to find yours.  This ideal weight, will come when you have healthy eating habits and an active lifestyle. 

I have battled my weight for all of my 32 years.  Up, down, fat (250), skinny (125), I can say now with confidence that I'm at my ideal weight.  5'8, 140 and about 19% body fat.  There is no trick to it.  Burn more calories than you take in. 

Now I'm not saying don't eat a thing and sit on the couch all day,  I'm saying lots of protein, fruit and vegetables, and only some chocolate.  And exercise.  2-3 times a week is OK for keeping your heart healthy but to turn fat into muscle you need to be exercising with an elevated heart rate for 45-60 min 5 times a week.  Lifting weights 2-3 times a week to increase muscle mass.  We all know that muscle burns more calories.

Now, your only 14, enjoy being a kid.  You'll have plenty of time to obsess about your weight after 30.
