He is not worth any of this. I know right now you feel like you should just starve yourself. But in my opinion that isnt going to make him like you any more. It may in fact push him away. In the long run...if you want to lose weight...do it for yourself. No guy is worth making yourself sick over. I know you are hurting right now, but eventually you will realize that everything is ok without him and that you dont need to lose any weight to impress him. I am sure things will work out fine! Good Luck at whatever you choose to do though...

i know the way u guys r feeling. i never had a boyfriend up until a year ago. i blamed that on being fat because im 220lbs and thought no guy could ever like me. i decided i hated feeling sorry for myself and to look like i didnt care about my weight and b confident even if i wasnt. well it worked and i have the most gorgeous boyfriend who is a fitness instructer & doesnt care about my weight. people send out vibes and men arent attracted 2 negative vibes. if you make the effort you will get a boyfriend....good luck....xxx

If your freind thinks she is overweight i think that you should try and help her eat better.

That is nice of you to help her, But you shouldn't say that she is disgusting! That is only going to make her problem worse. If you don't know her very well then maybe you should just stay out of it. But if you do know her then go ahead and help. Just don't call her disgusting. You need to support her, and accept her before you can help her. Good luck

My friends i sit with at lunch are the same way. they always give me the food they cant finish or know they wont have time to finish and i would always end up eating it but what i do is just say no thanx when they offer it or take it but dont eat it and throw it out afterwards. as for ure mom just say that ure trying to lose weight and she will probably be cooperative thats wat i did.

If he is trying to fatten you up, and you are sure about this, maybe you should dump him. If someone likes you he shouldn'thave to change the way you looked before, just to please his likings. If he likes bigger, fatter woman, he can go and find one himself. Not try and fatten you up so he'll like you more.

Hi. I think it is great that you are trying to lose weight, but you should do it for YOU not anyone else. And believe me at your age you don't need a boyfriend. You should be more concerned with your friends then a boyfriend. It is great to have support, but you shouldn't look for a guy to care about you in order for you to care about yourself.

First off if your b/f is tellin you negitive things then you need to dump his sry a**. he isn't any good for you if he is goin to be puttin you down. b/fs should love you for who u r. so just dump him your probably much better of without him.

I agree with camille. I was at my friends the other day, she isn't overweight, and she was having cookies and junk, and I just told her I wasn't hungry. Which, I really wasn't hungry. If you don't want to eat something and you arent hungry, nobody should make you eat anything. Maybe you not having anything would inspire her...:-P

Omigosh don't feel ANY guilt about not eating what she wants you to eat. just be polite and say,"No thank you." If your friend says something like,"No come on, just have some." dont give in, just tell her you aren't hungry or that you would prefer fruit or something along those lines. I don't think she will get mad at you. If she does, ask her why she is mad, because she shouldn't be.
