URGH I'm so frustrated right now. I don't know what my problem is! I keep eating crappy food! I hate myself! I want to lose 10 lbs this summer but how the heck am I going to if I keep eating like this! I realize the only way I'll be happy is if I lose this weight so why can't I just STOP EATING ALL THIS JUNK. I'm so mad right now... but I swear tomorrow's going to be different. At the end of the day I'm going to be able to come on here and be proud. I know I'm going to do this.

I WEIGHED 140 POUNDS AND WAS 5 FEET 4 IN MAY AND WAS JUST A LITTLE CHUBBY. NOW THAT ITS SUMMER AND REALLY HOT OUT I STAY INSIDE THE HOUSE AND EAT AND WATCH TV. I AM STILL 5 FEET 4 BUT NOW WEIGH 171 POUNDS AND AM GETTING A FAT STOMACH.MY SHIRTS ARE TIGHT AND I OUTGREW MY DUNGAREES. SINCE I'M AN ONLY CHILD I DONT HAVE MUCH TO DO.MY FATHER WEIGHS 180 POUNDS OR SO AND SAYS THAT MY WAIST IS BIGGER THAN HIS AND THAT I AM LOOKING LIKE A FAT PIG. I SAW MY FRIEND RECENTLY FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE SCHOOL ENDED AND HE SAID " WOW YOUR REALLY FAT" AND STARTED CALLING ME FATSO AND STUFF. I SLEPT OVER HIS HOUSE THAT NIGHT AND I CAUGHT HIM TAKING PICTURES OF MY FAT STOMACH TO SHOW HIS FRIENDS I WAS SO UPSET I RAN HOME AND HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE. MEANWHILE I JUST KEEP EATING OUT OF BOREDOM AND DEPRESSION, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Hi,I'm 13 and am currently on summer vacation from school. In the past month or so I've had nothing to do and I dont go to camp, so i ate. I am 5 foot 6 and weighed 135 lbs last month. now i weigh almost 150 lbs. i'm getting a flabby stomach and my jeans no longer need a belt and are getting tight. My 18 and 16 year old brothers are making fun of me and poking my belly. Both of them are saying that i'm blowing up like the good year blimp. They are thin but they eat all the candies and whatever else they want. I want to lose weight but I have zero to do so i eat. And eat and eat and eat.....

Hi i am 5 ft 3 in. and i weigh 140. It is mostly in my thighs and stomach area. I wish to make it smaller, but dread the thought of leaving behind the foods that i love. I am willing to stop snacking as long as i don't have to give up any certain type of food. I eat when i am bored. i don't have any problems with excersing, but i hate the outdoors. My overeating didn't start until i learned how to stress. I need to know ways to lose weight and excercise with out wanting to give up after the first day. That is what usually happens i want to give up after one day . Please i need major advice

Even if I do eat 2000 calories a day, if I excersize more can I? I love to eat, so a strict diet isn't good for me. Thanks

ok as of this morning i weighed in at 183 which is great for me I am down 2 pounds from 185 and I feel great I dont think its water weight either cuz like it took forever for those to come off. All I do is not focus on food and eating so much and get other things in my life straightened out and stuff and go on a 10 mile bike ride everyday in the morning just to ride and think I feel that I really just need to get other things in my life under control and not sooo stressful so all I am goin to do is be active more then I normally am and then I am goin to just eat whut I want and when I am hungry and when i am bored and feel like eating ill try and do something else and same with being upset and stuff. Well good luck everyone
