Don't kill yourself! Losing 50 pounds in two months is a lot, and will most likely not happen. You should eat right and exercise. If you're hungry all the time, drink lots of water and eat fiber. I bet you're not hungry ALL of the time, it just feels like it. You may actually be bored. I know I felt like I was hungry when I was bored. Then I started exercising and got a hobby to keep me distracted. You know what my hobby is? Helping other people with their weight problem. Yeah, that's right. Having a hobby doesn't necessarily mean collecting something. Do something you enjoy, besides eating. And you may want to check out the book "The Fat Girl" by Marilyn Sachs. The girl in it loses a lot of weight, and it may inspire you. If you need someone to dump your problems on, you can e-mail me at "thelittlekittymermaid3@yahoo.com" And remember: God Loves You JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!!!
