Hi my name is Marshall and I just wanted to give you some advice. It sounds like you are an emotional eater try to eat when you are only truly hungry and don't eat past 9:00 p.m. My dad gave me a diet that is working pretty well it is: have a healthy breakfast like aa piece of fruit or small bowl of cereal and for luch eat whatever you want just not to much then eat a light dinner like soup or salad. Exercise at least 5 days a week for 20-30 minutes. You should go for like a 20 minute walk or bike ride or something then do 20 crunches for your abs then do 20 push-ups for your chest and arms then do 20 squats or lunges for your legs and butt. And most girls think that if they exercise they will get too muscular like a guy but you won't because girlsare built differently then guys so you won't get to muscular. I hope that this helps and that your dream comes true, good luck.

hey it is the same way with me ! but u know u shouldnt watch that much TV because u know all the steriotypes about u r only pretty if u r skinny which just so happens is NOT true. If u want to keep ur self from being sad or sumthin do a workout ypou enjoy or take a yoga or dance class if u want! but yes the best thing to do is exercise when u r sad because exercising makes u happy it is proven! good luck!

Hey babe
Well, wot I find useful is when you are hungry to ask urself Am I really hungry? or just bored/depressed/thirsty. If u think u r hungry try drinking instead (water is best) or smoothies without too much yoghurt.
If u think you are just bored then do something and it will take your mind off food.
Hope I helped.
Good luck
