Ht. 5'3", Start: 144 lb, Today: 148.5 lb (BMI %tile: 91), Goal: 120 lb - My mom just came in here and saw me about to eat a fruit snack and she was like, " I know you've already eaten once and your just eating junk food, so you need to hit the gym hard." I got upset and told her I didn't want to talk to her, because I am very sensitive about my weight. Yeah, maybe overly sensitive, but until I can love and see my body in a good way i'm going to be sad! She started yelling at me and saying that I had a problem and it's sad that we can't crack jokes. I don't want to joke about my body or my eating habits! Ugh, she makes me so mad!

Lucy what I find helpful is when I am having the feeling to binge eat, I chew sugarless gum, tic tacks, mints, or drink lots of water,, listen to soft music on your I Pod touch, or your boom box.. Ask your I am hungrey because my stomach is growling, I am eating because I am strssted out? I am eating because I am bored? I am eating because I am mad? I am eating because food is staring at my face? well if it is that case walk away from it. I am thristy? or is my brain trying to trick me?? Lucy you can do this!!!!! ask your mom to hide junk food in places where you be able to acess so eaisly..... Just keep your head strong Lucy.
