Hey,
I was just doing some research and I happened to stumble across this site. It makes me quite sad to see some of the stuff that is written on here as most of you are all so young and you seem so sad! It's good to lose weight in order to be healthy and prevent problems later on in life, but if you're only doing it to make friends and get boyfriends then that's really bad. If these people that you want to be around don't see you for you as you are now, then they will never truly be your friends. Having a boyfriend is NOT the most important thing in the world, infact it doesn't even come close to being important!
If you want to lose weight then do it the right way - slowly is always better and and combined with a senisble diet you are more likely to keep it off for much longer as apposed to quick fix diets! You should't think about the short term effects - think of the long... (view more)Hey,
I was just doing some research and I happened to stumble across this site. It makes me quite sad to see some of the stuff that is written on here as most of you are all so young and you seem so sad! It's good to lose weight in order to be healthy and prevent problems later on in life, but if you're only doing it to make friends and get boyfriends then that's really bad. If these people that you want to be around don't see you for you as you are now, then they will never truly be your friends. Having a boyfriend is NOT the most important thing in the world, infact it doesn't even come close to being important!
If you want to lose weight then do it the right way - slowly is always better and and combined with a senisble diet you are more likely to keep it off for much longer as apposed to quick fix diets! You should't think about the short term effects - think of the long term and adopt a healthy lifestyle so you never have to diet in later life. If you are new to exercise then start of small - don't push youreself as you will do more damage than good. Go walking for a about a hour 5 times a week/go swimming/roller blading/biking - whatever you like to do - but enjoy it - you'll stick to it longer that way. Also don't deny yourself anything - just limit your intake of junk food. If you want some chocolate then have a piece - just don't have a whole bar! Really ask yourself if you're hungry before eating something, and if your not then don't do it! Also if you feel hngry, try having a drink of water - sometimes that's all you need and your hunger will go away. Choose diet soda drinks over full fat, and go for plenty of fresh fruit and veg. research has shown that eating 4-5 SMALL meals a day every 3 hours helps to stay slim. Also don't eat so much that you feel stuffed - it takes 10 mins for your body to really recognise you are full, so take a break halfway through meals to assess how much more you need! Cut down on the sugar and high calorie snacks and you'll be fine!
Most importantly, lose weight because YOU want to - not because of anyone else! Set yourself REALISTIC goals, and don't give up if you don't see immediate results, or you do better one week that another - there really is more important things in life that becoming homecoming queen or something - it may not seem like it now, but if you spend your younger years getting depressed over this kind of stuff, when you are older you'll be sad that you spent so much of your time over it! most of you will find that alot of your weight will fall off as you get older and grow in to yourself anyway! If you try and stick to the points I made earlier, then hopefully you will feel so much better about yourself and see results you like! If you still fell bad after this then try talking to your parents or school counseller! Also, I know the media plays a big part in making us believe that we should all be a size 0, but a) look at JLo! and b) 90% of the pictures you see in magazines are digitally touched up, and even the celebrities themselves don't look like they do in the pictures!
Just one more point, please be careful when you leave your email addresses on the site - you have no idea who's going to be reading your messages!
Be happy!

Well i guess i can't really say i've been on a diet, for the past two weeks i've gained 5 pounds and have been eating nothing but junk. And i'm starting to feel like crap, even tho people can't tell i've gained 5 pounds, i can definatly notice a change. So i'm really determined to lose the 5 pounds i've gained and the other 20 i need to lose. I really need to lose this weight, it is getting really hard for me to lose it right now and i don't know why. I was so determeined at the beginning, i've lost 20 pounds and i need a lot of help to lose the last 25. So if anybody can help me out i would so appreciate it. Oh and all i eat in a day is like a ton of fruit and some vegetables and like 5 bowls of special k (but i'm gonna stop eating special k as of right now)and a lot of people on here say that eating a lot of fruit isn't good for u. So what do all of u guys eat in a day to lose weight?????

Okay I want to put a book together about what it's like to be an overweight teen. In the book I also want to have stories about aneroxics and bulmics. So post your stories. They can be how you lost weight, the pressure of school and being overweight, social experiances. Stuff like that thanks. Also tell your friends too.

Hey, wot is the most embarassing thing that has ever happened to you with your fat? Mine was when i was swimming in P.E, and i saw one part of my swimsuit bulging, so i decided to get out, and the P.E teacher started asking me why i was getting out, and started hassiling, me, so now obviously, all eyes were on me, and then this one boy yelled out "Hey, i didnt know that elephants were allowed in here! o wait, thats sarah! Hey sarah how much do u weigh? Sh*t man, look at your belly! How do you fit into that tiny swimsuit! isnt that only a size 40!?" of course right then, with my entire class watching me, a seam in my swimsuit split and my fat bulged out the hole. i grabbed it and tried to push it back in, but more just came rolling out.
