Ht. 5'6", Start: 235 lb, Today: 225 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 118 lb - Hi their my names zayra and yes i am obese. I weigh in about 225 less than what i use to weight 235 but my highest was 245 my goal is 118. Well this is my story, When i was a little girl i wasint that fat i was ok for my age. But i had some family problems and well i consoled my self with eating. Food became a habit to me fried food, greasy food, chips, candy, soda anything you name it. So u c i never really learned how to eat healthy at a young age.

so when i got to high school i was about 200-248 i was happy or some my friends thaught you see i always wore a fake face always pretending to smile be happy when i was always really dying a little inside i figured why bother my friends with my problems they deserve to be happy not sad and worried
so that's when the drugs happened i felt better when i got high i forgot about being fat about getting teased all of that was gone.....for a vary short momment but i use to say hey its worth it!...when really i was only doing harm to myself and friends and family that really cared about me
but now im in the summer of my 10th grade year im going to be in 11th when i get back and i have been doing a lot better i lost weight i dont do drugs anymore and i feel alot better about myself because when i look in the mirror i dont see a fat ugly girl that dosint have a boyfriend or no one cares about her i c a beautiful person with tons of people that care and so this is my story it still hasint ended but i hope that you got some inspiration from me! AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOURT WEIGHT LOSS because if i can do it than so can you. (view less)

Ht. 5'1.5", Start: 201 lb, Today: 200 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 130 lb - ok yeah well obviouslly i just started today on losing weight.when is was younger i was the cute kid i was healthy and everything.when ever i got into the third grade my parents got divorced and in the fourth my dad died.at that time i became depressed and i would turn to food and we lived with my mamaw and she has realy good food and she dont let you go hungry.but anyway its hard enough having people from school say things about you when you walk down the hall but its even worse when you cant hardly go to your grandparents cause everytime they say "why cant you be skinny and pretty like her" or "you would be so much prettier if you wasnt so big" what am i hideous

Ht. 5'7", Start: 195 lb, Today: 195 lb (BMI %tile: 95), Goal: 130 lb - Ok so i have always been overweight growing up, but recently ive been a little more then just overweight and have been gaining a lot in a short amount of time. Ive always been ok with being bigger i guess but now it really sucks that i cant even fit into clothes i got for chirstmas. I definatly eat when i am bored, like i will eat a small snack while watcing tv, and then like every commercial i get up to eat another small snack. But lately it seems to be taking a bigger toll on my weight then usual. which is also making my appetite bigger because im gaining weight and being able to eat more. I am planning on going on a diet soon but dont know how to cut out my snacking habbit. its like a part of my daily routine almost to snack all the time but still eat large amounts at meal time. advice? anyone in the same boat?

Ht. 5'5", Start: 163 lb, Today: 142 lb (BMI %tile: 88), Goal: 125 lb - You know what I figured out?
It might sound stupid, but it's the closest i've ever come to an epiphany. Ok, here it is;
I was thinking to myself, wow, i'm really fat. I can't even fit into the shorts I just got. That's really actually very depressing.
Then, I had the sudden urge to go get a fudgsicle, even though we had just had lunch 10 minutes ago and I was really full. Right after I thought that, it hit me. I wasn't hungry. That was my epiphany. Eating isn't supposed to be meant the way that overweight and obese people use it. It's not some kind of coping mechanism, it's a way of keeping your body ALIVE. Not your solution to boredom or like me, being fat. So, I've been thinking lately before I pick up a piece of food, Am I hungry? Do I really need this, or am I just bored or upset?
It usually works :)

BTW
can you please help me with this?
I'm not weird or anything, but I was getting really depressed one day while looking at a teen vouge, and I saw all the skinny, pretty girls, and I thought, 'Inspiration!'.
So I got out some scissors and cut out every skinny girl I could find and every hot guy(im having trouble with guys right now.)
I'm not lesbian or anything, that's not what they were for, It's just inspiration.
Is that really weird? I wasn't sure.
Thanks. (view less)

My Story---and My Advice
I am a twin. I have a twin brother. Both of my brothers are really athletic and such, and they've managed to keep a decent weight. Not too flabby, not too muscular. But my dad, my mom, my sister and I have some how ended up overweight...Of course this is because we refrain from tons of physical activity.
My parents don't buy lots of healthy food, and it gets hard to find something healthy to eat. Yeah, they buy wheat bread, fruits, vegetables, lean meats, milk etc... but it's the tempting stuff that you notice...the chips, chocolate, soda, left-over takeout etc... I think that if my parents had bought healthier food when I was young I don't think I would've ended up this way...I wouldn't be an emotional eater...Now I know it's not fair to blame them...but sometimes it seems like the only reason I ended up this way...that and they've knocked...

Parents: Buy healthy food for your children! Don't buy that absurdly delicious fatty crap. And if you're children are overweight, approach the subject gently. Children don't like hearing they're fat. If you're not careful, you'll just be like the kids at school- ruining their self esteem.
Kids: If your parents do approach the "I think you should lose some weight" subject, be easy on them, they care about you, that's why they mention it. They just want what's best for you. And being healthy is what's best. And if your parents couldn't care less about your health, then you've got to take control and resist tempting foods-craving something sweet? You want that chocolate up in the cupboard? NO--go make a strawberry smoothie or eat an apple. Tell your parents you want healthier foods in the house, they'll most likely grant your wishes--instead just go grocery shopping with them...and be sure to keep out the bad stuff.
Hope this helps :D (view less)
