Hi, my name is Kate. I am 13 years of age and have a weight problem. I am 149 pounds. In Ireland(which is where I am from), 14 pounds =1 stone. So, I am 10 stone and 9 pounds. I feel so fat and a lot of boys in my class make nasty comments about my weight. The problem is I have a large appetite and I mam always hungry. I just can't seem to be able to stop myself eating chocolate or sweets. Please help. Thanks!

Ok, katie.. I think i can help you out really quickly.There is a few things that surpress apetite.. On of these is excersise.. when people excersise, your body tightens up.. including your stomach.... which takes away a bit of the craving to eat. The other is to eat high fiber foods,.. beans, vegtables, fruits.. fiber tricks your mind into thinking your full when your nottry those out, and try to excersise and eat a bit better.. Mr. Dan:)

Drinks lots of water and go out for a short walk and each week take longer walks and drinks lots of water and look at yourself and be happy with who you are and dont everytime you get mad go and eat. I am overweight and I want to lose weight too but you cant lose unless you try! If you would like to cut down on candy which will help you lose weight I was told to brush my teeth everytime I had a craving to eat candy. Also you can cut down on how much you eat. Eat a golf ball and a half of food or a little more. I havent tried these yet because I was just told these yesterday but it could help. Try really hard and you will succeed!! :)

But one day something came over me....i knew that this was unhealthy for myself. I didn't want to lose weight to look better....but to be healthy. But there are only 3 things you need to lose weight, three important things: sensible foods, Exercise & Will power. with these three things you'll have the most ideal weight. at first you'll feel that it takes too long and be discouraged....well i'll be honest, yeah it does take long....but if u work at it now....by the summer time you'll be feeling a lot better than u do today. I used to be so negative about my weight but then one day i realized that if i just sit around & complain, i won't be accomplishing anything, so right then and there...i got up off the couch and took my dog for a ...

I will tell you what worked for me but please patient because it does take time. Decide on a sensible calorie intake - anything from 1300 to 1500 a day and then stick to it. Find out how many calories everything is - loads of lists on the internet - and how much fat content and write everything down you eat. Very boring but that way you will be able to keep track. Get your mum to buy lower fat food and make sure you eat plenty of fruit and veg and drink like loads of water. Try and exercise more and avoid foods that are high in fat. Good luck.

Hi, I've got a suggestion for you. Don't think about all the fatty chocolate foods think about being thin and going to the beach. two more things don't eat all those things you mentioned eat fruits or something like that. Throw away all the junk food and don't let it come into your house again. Also stay on a steady excerise program. do something u enjoy

Hello everyone. I guess I'm not saying anything new; almost every girl feels fat at one time or another. I'm 4'11 and three quarters (almost five feet!) and I fluctucate from 115-122 lbs. And no, I'm not overweight, I'm healthy for my age and height. I try to get some form of exercize every other day, and I eat healthful things. But when my parents leave me home alone, I start pigging out on everything! Can someone please help me to stop this before it becomes a real problem, and maybe give me some tips on losing 5 or 10 lbs.?

I am so depressed. my life is hell. When i look in the mirror and see my 250 lb flubber i want to die. my friends have all gone on diets and look as gorgeous as geri halliwell but i am still as obese as a whale.when i ask them about this they say they'd much rather have my generous boobs but i'd much rather have a bum that fits into oridnay size 6 jeans. Whe I went to this slumber party with all the cool girls my nightshirt burst open and my huge stomach flopped out like a bowl of jello- now they look at me as if i'm a freak. i feel out of place and I diet all the time but i binge like crazy. i am considering anorexia- it seems like the only way out- and yet i know it wouldn't last. I have toget my school uniform specially made coz my waist is 42!!!! Please help me before I hurt myself

Please don't despair. I know exactly how you feel. I am on a diet as well, although my mum has warned me it will be a gradual process although I want to lose the weight like instantly.
The first thing to do is to talk to somebody close to you about this and get their support i.e. your mum or a close relative or even an understanding friend. Your self esteem seems very low right now but once you start losing the weight then you will start to feel better about yourself but it won't be instant. You have to be extremely strong willed and cut out all the foods that are high in fat i.e. burgers and high in calories - which is just about everything that tastes good. It will be very, very hard at first but once you have got over that first period then you will begin to feel better about yourself.

Find out how many calories a girl of your age and height should be eating. A school nurse might know this or the doctor. Also, find out how many calories certain foods are. It sounds very boring but write everything down that you eat and work out your food to a certain level i.e. 1500 calories or whatever. I eat a lot of low calorie soups that fill me up plus lots of fruit and water. My weight is slowly going down but I accept that it will take time. Please don't despair. If you really, really, really want to lose weight sensibly then be positive, think positive, be strong-willed and cut out all the fattening foods. If you are worried you will feel hungry then take to school food you can nibble on like fruit or carrots. I really, really miss eating burgers and chips but I know that at the moment I can't. I still have a lot of weight to lose and I still look in the mirror and think I look huge but I am doing something positive about it. Look on today as the beginning and don't dwell on what you look like. Just think 'I am going to cut out the fattening foods and lose weight'. Good luck. (view less)
