Ht. 5'8", Start: 290 lb, Today: 312 lb, Goal: 170 lb - Ok I officially give up. I have only gained 22 pounds since comming on this site. I guess im going to be fat the rest of my life. I tried so hard but I get to hungry and then eat junk food. I cant stop its so addicting. So I guess the only thing left to do is waste my summer locked in my room doing nothing but playing video games and eating. Im to embarrest to go out in public I feel like everyone is laughing at me.

No Way!!! Don't give up!!! You know you can do this. i know it's hard!!don't say you can't because then you'll really believe you can't! It helps do try to lose weight with some friends. That way, you have another person supporting you, and you're supporting him/her!! But everyone on Earth knows that you can do it!! keep it up!!

You're going to give up? Spend the summer pigging out...and return to school even fatter than ever? Weighing 330 pounds or more? Dude..summer is the perfect time to lose the weight. Even if you can't return to school slim, any weight u DO lose will boost your confidence. If you KEEP TRYING, you will discover that you can lose the weight. And once you start, you will find it easier to cut back on the junk food.DON'T lose faith in yourself!!If you're having trouble with cutting back on food, then start exercising more. Don't wanna exercise outside? Do simple exercises indoors, jog in place, jumping jacks and whatever. Got a back yard? Walk around in ur back yard until you're tired.DO something! You have a chance to return to school feeling better about yourself, feeling more confident.BUT it's up to you. No one can do this for you. If you wanna talk...

"Im to embarrest to go out in public I feel like everyone is laughing at me"----I feel the exact same way! guess what I gained weight too but you have to find the will power to keep going! Come on Conner, you can do this. You rule the food, the food doesn't rule you. You can't just give up because it's not working...it's probably not working because of the way you look at yourself, the way you think about food. You gotta reprogram your mind and have a whole new mindset about losing weight and how you're going to do it. Everything else is secondary, put yourself FIRST! tell yourself that you will NOT spend the summer bumming around and putting on more weight but working hard and shedding those lbs. It's only hard if you tell yourself it is. It's all in your head so just try to believe in yourself and you will succeed. I know that it's easier said than done but just rmember...you're only going to live one life. It's worth it. Losing weight is SO worth it and you know that. Don't make any excuses and just find your inner strength. Good Luck!
