My mom just got this new job and she has to travel a lot now--like once a month for 3-7 days at a time. I'm not used to her being gone becuase she's like my soul mate and I don't really want to stay home with my dad. But I know I have to be mature and cope with this, only I'm afraid my emotional eating will get worse instead of better. What can I do during her trips?

I have never been on this site before, but I like this site. It makes me feel like I'm not the only fat kid out there. I actually tried that BMI thing...it kind of made me sad because im obese. Out of 100 kids, I'm the fattest out of all of them. I am trying to lose weight but i really can't get modavated. I try diets, but after a while I get bored and pig out again. The thing i hate the most about being fat is not being good at running...having so much belly fat...and having strech marks. I'm sure that some of you no what I mean. I just need a friend that i can talk to about losing weight and being fat. If you want to im me...my screen name is BeckyL3569 on aim.

But the last time I was on here was probably a year ago, I was about 205, during the summer, I was 191, but then when school started a gained weight and now im 210 [about]. Maybe its from all the stress? I mean, I have a boyfriend, and I always notice him looking at other girls at school, and they have great bodies, obviously. I just really want to be healthy, for myself mostly, and also for him. I know my weight shouldn't matter in our relationship, right?? or should it,, idk tips.. but knowing the fact that he is like 130 lbs, upsets me, is reality, i should weigh less than him.. One of my weaknesses is hot cheetos, im addicted to them, litterally. I eat them almost everyday. Also, once i start munching on something, its hard for me to put it down, even if i am full.

This is my first post on Blubber Busters in...uh...gosh, it's been so many centuries I can't even remember! Anyway, I've returned because I am disgusted with my life. See, I started off at 184 lbs in Feb. of 2006. I bought The Diet for Teenagers Only, an amazing book, and began to turn my life around. I got as low as 164 lbs in May of 2007, but then I had some really awful family tragedies during the summer, and my stress level skyrocketed. I started relying on food for comfort and at night I'd feel awful about my life AND diet and would bawl for an hour before falling into a unrestful sleep. I started waking up late and not feeling refreshed, and as the pounds crept back on I began to "let myself go." I didn't bother getting manicures or make my hair look nice anymore because my confidence was at an all-time low. Then. this month, I desperately bought a copy of "Body+Soul" Magazine in hopes of finding some help and after reading some of the most inspiring articles in my life felt as though someone had slapped me on the face. Hard. What was I doing sitting around moping, clogging my arteries and loosing my flexibility? Enough was enough! I realized I'd had the wrong attitude all along; I'd been to arrogant to ask for help, and as a result when hard times hit my progress backfired. Never again, I vow. Mid-terms have just ended and I'm starting to re-read my precious "food bible". Today I did Pilates for the first time in about 7 or 8 months and barely winded through it. So I've come here to keep me motivated to do my best every day. My birthday is next month, and I really want to weight at least 175 lbs by then. This year, my birthday resolution is to take a more positive outlook on life, appreciate what I have, learn to respect my body, and get in good shape for the rest of my life. This is my story, and I hope all of you will find lots of success! Good luck! :P From cayla, Age 12 - 2/9/08 - IP#: 68.42.58.xxx  Click here to reply Ht. 5'3", Start: 145 lb, Current: 150 lb, Goal: 100 lb - I feel so fat.

Recently ive noticed that i had started to binge (only did it twice). It worried me because i didnt want it to become a habit. Losing weight is a learning process whether your trying to stop emotional eating, learning what to eat and what not to eat, learning portion control. Its all one big learning process that we have to get through day to day in order to be healthy. Basically, i forgave myself for my binges but i pledged that i would never do it again. So yesterday, I started a journal about my weight loss for my last 20-25 pounds that i want to lose because it gets harder and harder the closer you get to your goal weight. The most important lesson i have learned during this lifestlye change is learning to forgive myself. What are some of the lessons you have learned??

Yesterday was soooo bad i was stressing out big time about my exams which started today and.. i had the biggest binge ever..okay well not ever ive had worse before but it was huuuge- a family size bag dorritos, pringles, 3 packets chips, 15 chocolate biscuits, 4 bits of caramel shortcake, 2 jam donuts and probably other stuff ive forgotten. i had managed not to binge for over 3 weeks and then i was left in the house myself for an hour and i went completely crazy for the rest of the day =[. I weighed myself last night and it said 174 (3lbs OVER my starting weight) and considering i was 163 yday morning i gained 11lbs in ONE day!! i know some of that weight would be all the food that was in my stomach hadnt digested yet cos i was really bloated so im going to put myself back at my starting weight and i have vowed to NOT weigh myself for about 2 months because i get realy obsessed with the scales like weighing myself 10 times a day and if it doesnt change i get really anxious and end up bingeing (like yday). Anyways it was real tempting to not eat anything today to make up for yday but ive decided that nope im doing this properly which means 3 meals a day so heres today- EXERCISE 40 mins on eliptical (burned 1000cals) BFAST- porridge m/w 2% milk = 160 cals, LUNCH- brown turkey salad roll =350, dinner- bowl homemade soup + chicken, potatoes, carrots and broccoli = 1000? so in total 1600 cals max.

I eat for depression and boredness too. I am getting a lot better with it though. I have noticed I can make the food last like 20 times more than I ever had. Ok this is what you do. Make a list of stuff that you can do and just put that on your fridge or something then when you feel like eating look at that list and pick something that can entertain you instead of eating. Its what I do and it actually works. Thats why im not eating right now. Just give it a try. I hope I helped. Reply from kade, Age 19 - 1/10/08 - IP#: 71.8.231.xxx i couldnt find your previous comments on the site, so im not totally sure whats going on. but you can trust me when i say that you CAN do this. loosing weight is going to be a slow and hard process for sure, it sucks because you start making huge changes in your life that dont show up on the scale and its dissappointing. and then you eat because that makes you feel better. but its important to remember that you didnt gain weight in a week, and it wont go away in a week either. focus on the other cool things about your healthy life style. like when you start to recognize true hunger signals and dont emotionally eat as much. or when your skin clears because you gave up greasy fast food and now eat fruits and veggies with antioxidants that help your skin. enjoy the accomplished fatigue you feel when you finish a work out (the endorphin rush is cool too!) little milestones make the journey as worthwile as the end result! good luck!

I have more friends than I ever had cause I am starting to get a sense of humor and talking to people. I used to let the people come to me but now I have gotten better at it and started going to other people. I kinda do have confidence problems. I have difficult situations at home. I eat cause I am depressed and bored most of the time. That is the only reason why. I need to loose at least 50 pounds. I skateboard and everyone who saw me skate say I am really good and if I loose a lot of weight I could be a pro skater cause I am really good. Expecially for a fat girl. So yeah. I need to loose weight and I am going to do whatever I have to. Age 13, female, 5'7", 223 lb.: Everyone I know practically soothes emotions with food!

I know it's been months since I've been on for those of you who might remember me. Life's been crazy, and my weight has suffered as a result. Over the summer I was going though a rough time with a family so food became my crutch. Then school started and I became overwhelmed with homework, tests, yearbook commitments, boys, and dances. I've also been going though a period where I'm really not happy with my body. I feel horrible about myself. To top it all off I'm always rushing in the morning so my breakfasts are crappy and at lunch there is the temptation of fried food, something I never had to deal with before. All of this contributed to serious weight gain. Over 20 pounds. It really hurts me to say that. I thought I had managed to change my life habits for good, but I guess not, and I'm REALLY disappointed in myself. I hope to make 2008 my best year ever by re-reading The "Diet For Teenagers Only" and starting to exercise again. I'm trying to find out who I really am, and being healthier will add to my confidence. The things is that I don't mind being curvy...I mean, I'd be much mroe satisfied with my body if i knew I was healthy. Which I'm not. =( Sorry about my long sop story, but I just need some support to help me take control of my life again. I hate feeling being out of control around food. It makse me feel like I don't have power over anything.

I realized that I've been losing and gain back the same weight over and over again. I've been on a diet since last year of November but I didn't start losing weight until February of this month, at least thats what I thought. Its real frustrating. So, I decided to try again to put a stop to it. I checked out this book from the library called life is hard, food is easy. I think the book was written for me :-) and others who binge. So if ur like me, u should probably read this book. What I loved most about the book is that she stated that food is sum times ur best friend(there for u when u need it) and It might be time to get a new best friend. Good Luck to everybody!

It looks like it will help me a lot. I have problems with two things. The first is that I'm addicted to pop. If I don't have at least one a day, I get migranes.. I'm trying to quit this summer. It isn't working so far.. instead I've been having two to three pops a day... my dad's a farmer and he also works midnight shift at Chrysler [we live by the Motor City] so there's always the pop avaliable at my house [he has to drink 5-6 pops a night at work to keep himself awake even after working midnight shift for 13 years]. Secondly, most of my friends are cheerleaders, and therefore, really almost anorexic looking skinny. I always look at them and wonder why I am the size I am and they are like that. It really discourages me. I hope that I can get support from people on here and lose some weight. ~Anna xoxo From annie, Age 9 - 6/8/07 - IP#: 195.93.21.xxx  Click here to reply Ht. 4'5", Start: 12 stone 13, Current: 12 stone 9, Goal: 9 stone 5 - I am addicted to junk food and eat it all the time.

I know I shouldn't dwell on it now that the damage is done but I really wanted to get back on track. It seems that I keep screwing up, just when I'm doing good! I have to go pick my brother up from school and it's about a 2 mile walk. Will that help burn the ice-cream cals off? ugh, I'm so mad at myself.

I seriously think that I can do it if I put my mind to it. BUT the problem is I have a huge addiction to food! I can't stop eating even though I know the things I'm eating are bad for me. My best friend is extremely skinny (it runs in her family.) She is so tiny compared to me and sometimes it makes me feel really bad about my image. I do excercise alot but excercising is no good when I go and eat ice cream and cookies an hour later. So if you have any ideas on how to cope with my food addiction please do tell!! thanks Reply from casey, Age 17 - 5/27/07 - IP#: 72.112.10.xxx Reply from Sage, Age 15 - 5/27/07 - IP#: 71.111.131.xxx Reply from Tina, Age 15 - 5/27/07 - IP#: 205.188.116.xxx Reply from Tina, Age 15 - 5/27/07 - IP#: 205.188.116.xxx From Michelle, Age 14 - 5/24/07 - IP#: 71.143.3.xxx  Click here to reply Ht. 5'7", Start: 182 lb, Current: 182 lb, Goal: 130 lb - Hi.

My parents tell me eat more veggies. I ate an entire bag of salad without dressing and it didn't phase me at all, I just want more. What I am I to do? Please help. Steve This is KAY 's story: I am 14 (turning 15 in june). I weigh 330 pounds. I was never the skinnest kid or anything when I was younger but I wasn't nessarrilly heavy either. Then about 5 or 6 years ago my mom found out she had cancer. I got really scared and depressed. I started to use food as a krutch for my feelings. I would give anything to go back and not do what I did but unfortunatly I can't. Last year in 8th grade I got a letter in school about my BMI. I was crushed. This year I go to a different school. I will be going in 2 months for a surgery for my mouth. But that includes going for a check up to the doctor to make sure I can make it through the surgery. I want to know if there is anything you could suggest for me. I can't do anything without worrying what people think about me. I hate shoping because mostly the cloths don't fit. I love to swim and Im good at it but I don't go to the pool because I can't find a bathing suit that fits. More than what people think or have to say about me I want to be heathy. I don't want to be the girl any more that has to take a break from running because my chest hurts and Im out of breath. I don't want to be the girl who just barely fits in the desks at school. I don't want to be the girl that can only go on certian rides at an amusment park because the seat belt won't fit. Im tired of being the fat girl. Im tired of being obess. Could you please help me?

I had a bowl of cereal, a yoplait yogurt, a fruitsnack, some ice cream, and this thing w/ whole wheat noodles, pizza sauce and mozz. cheese, corn, and manderin oranges. I went a little overbored with the noodles, but over all, i'm estimating about 1500 calories. The whole morning, i listened to music and danced. i didn't turn on the TV until 2:30. I also went for a bike ride to the store so i could get my grandma a b-day card. I think i coulda held back a little on the noodles, but at least they were whole wheat.

But lets see a lot of people were asking me how i lost all the weight and i actually lost like 45 lbs and was down to 155 but i kinda gained some of it back but really all i did was cut out the bad put in the good and exercise everyday. I mean i know it sounds incredibly easy but thats b/c it is, i mean my main problem was fighting off to not just eat when i was bored so I just found stuff to occupy my time. Oh yea another great tip try eating mini meals. I eat like 5 mini meals throughout the day and it really helps ur body b/c it can break down all the small stuff throughout the day compared to bigger meals that can't get broken down all at once and then it is stored as fat for later to be used as an energy source. And if you don't use that energy source it just stays there :/ Well good luck to everyone today, stay focused on ur goals!

I haven't been on here in weeks so I wanted to see how everyone was doing!! As for me? Well I'm a little stuck but I still feel a lot better physically then ever before. I've also learned to look at more positive things about your body and flaunt them! I realized that I have shiny hair, great calves, and muscular arms, so I work it out! And having hobbies and friends to support you really helps. On your journey to being healthier please do it to be HEALTHIER, not just THINNER, because I know that when you eat better foods than your friends you can still be a little heavier. Look for inner beauty as well. Focus on things, have big dreams, set goals, be a better student, learn something new, who knows! Remember: you're not just a number on the scale, a pant size, measurements, the number of zits on you face, a shirt size. You're a person with brains and feelings and talents. For real. This might sound cheesy, but when you start to smile at yourself and be your own best friend, you'll be able to nurture your relationship with food as fuel, not a form of entertainment or comfort. Look only at positive aspects of your life. YOU ROCK; NOW SHOW IT!!!! Love, Isabella (a.k.a.

Starting out the summer at around 190, I've gained eleven pounds. This morning I got on the scale and saw that it read "201", and I started crying. I'm still crying. I haven't been paying that much attention to my weight, and I never intended for this to happen. I'm dying to be thin, like my friends. It kills me when my best friend, who weighs 95 pounds, calls herself fat. If she's fat, I'm a monster. Then she says that I'm not fat. She's just saying it to be nice, which kills me. My boyfriend tells me I'm perfect, but I'm sure he wishes I were thinner. I'm horrible at exercise. I'm pretty good at dieting. I really need help getting my weight down. I've never even been on one of these sites. Even now. I saw my weight, got depressed, and started eating. I really really need help. My physical is in October, and I'm tired of always hearing the doctor tell me about my health risks. It scares me. I'm really scared right now. I need help.

This is BRITTNEY's story: When i was younger i lived in the city and i was always underweight. when i was in 3rd grade and i was about 4'4" i weighed 52 pounds. but then i moved to the suburbs, i gained weight like crazy. last december when i got a physical done, i weighed 137 pounds at 5 feet and 3 quarter inches, and now i am 5'4" and its been a year and 2 months, and i am now 162 pounds. i've been eating well for the new year. i eat a bowl of cereal for breakfast, a yogurt a water bottle, and a 100 calorie pack for lunch, and then whatever my mum cookes for dinner. after school when i am asked what i had for lunch today, i say the three things i said above, and then my mom and my grandma and my dad are thinking im anorexic. i try to tell them that all i want to do is lose weight, and they keep telling me " dont you become one of those anorexic girls" and i tell them that i would never do that because that is way to dangerous and that is somethings that i would just never do. i also tell them i am trying to lose weight the right way- eat right and exercise. i think its because they are always used to me eating like everything they put in front of me. but now i am cutting everything in half. So do you have any other things that i might be able to do so i can lose some weight...i was going to join a gym with my mum, but then school started and this year is stressful because we are preparing to go into high school and i have had so many test and quizzes plus state tests and exams. it's very hard and my mum says that that is another reason why i am over-weight, is because of the stress in school. is that true? can that really make you want to eat more? i have another question- do you know any ways i can like stop eating when i am bored because sometimes i would be sitting doing nothing so i figure i should eat.what should i do? thanks This is NICOLLE's story: I am 15 years old.
