Ht. 5'3", Start: 140 lb, Today: 390 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - Hey everyone. As you can see, I'm a very obese teen. I always told myself that I would start a diet soon, but I never had. I never dreamed I would get this huge. I can't fit in any chairs, and they had to find me special chairs at my school. i got stuck in one of the old ones, and they had to get a janitor and 2 other teachers to help me get out. I cant stand being this huge, but I eat all the time and i just cant stop. When im at school, i cant focus well cuz all i think about is food. I overeat so much always. sometimes when i think about how big i've gotten i cry, but then to make myself feel better i get more food, sometimes i eat a whole pizza and a bowl of candy. i used to have a boyfriend, and then i started putting on all the weight. My parents hate that im so big, but they are gone a lot and i eat when im alone. a few weeks ago then came home and i was asleep on the couch with a ton of empty candy wrappers everywhere, 3 coke bottles and 2 empty mcdonalds bags. they yelled at me so much, saying this is how i've gotten so big and it's disgusting. i can barely walk anymore, i usually just lay around and eat junk food. ive gained over 200 pounds in the last 3 years, and im just done being this huge. my stomach is the worst, it hangs out of all my shirts, and i split a pair of my jeans yesterday when i tried to force my stomach into them. it's awful. I need help everyone, please, post and tell me what to do!

Eat less get eight hours of sleep. Drink a lot of water everyday. Get moving right away,, watch less tv and spent less time on the computer.

Wow, I'm sorry. I know it's hard to stop eating. You always tell yourself there's a reason. Either "it's a bad day, I deserve it" or "It's a good day, I should celebrate". I don't fully understand what youre going through but I can relate. Stop telling yourself that tomorrow is the day because you'll keep putting it off. I found a website that helped me lose weight. http://chris.pirillo.com/50-weight-loss-tips/. It just gives you some starting tips to losing weight. Make it a game for yourself. Just remember that the food might taste good for a couple minutes but once it's gone you can't taste it anymore and all you're left with is the weight you've gained...Just think about how much happier you could be and dedicate to the things you have to do to get there. You'll feel better, you'll look better and you'll live healthier. It's completely worth it. I wish you all the good luck in the world.

try to not think about your weight. it will make you unhappy and that's not helpful. instead think bout ways you can eat better or exercise. if you feel hungry try eating fruits & vegetables instead! good luck. help emma out and give advice!
