From Sarah, Age 16

Ht. 5'6", Start: 245 lb, Today: 245 lb, Goal: 170 lb - I have been overweight for as long as I can remember. I was 12 when I really started gaining a lot of weight. I was going through emotional struggles and I hardly noticed the weight gain. Then all of the sudden I'm 13 and I weigh more than an adult man should. I felt so ashamed. I turned to my mom for support, and ever since then we have been on a dieting rollercoaster. Now I'm 16 and I am embarassed of my body. I have had some minor weight loss success, but I've never reached my goal and I always gain the pounds back, plus more. My main problem is overeating. I eat when I'm bored or stressed or depressed. I feel like I'm always eating! I'm bored so I go grab a bag of chips, and after I eat half the bag, I get mad at myself and feel discouraged. I'm sick of this rollercoaster! I just want to be healthy and fit! I want to feel confident and beautiful! I feel like I have tried everything, I've been on so many different diets and I can never stick with it. I want to be smaller sooo bad, but its as if one part of me says "I want to be healthy", but the other part says "I want food more"! Well now its time for the second part of me to shut up! I am in desperate need of weight loss tips from those of you who have succeeded. Thanks so much for reading my story and any tips would be greatly appreciated :) Thank you!
