If you want to stop over eating in general a little trick is to always drink lots of water-ALWAYS. Take a small bit, put down your fork or spoon and take a drink of water. Everytime you take a bit, take a drink of water that way you get full faster and eat less calories.

Ht. 5'6", Start: 185 lb, Today: 185 lb (BMI %tile: 95), Goal: 155 lb - For as long as I can remember, I've always felt self conscious and uncomfortable with how I look. I've been overweight since about 3rd grade. I've always sort of been in denial because when I look in the mirror I always think I don't look that big, but when I'd see myself in pictures I'd see what I really look like. I don't hate exercising but it's hard for me to stop eating. I want to finally be able to buy clothes and look good in them, and be able to wear a bikini.. which skinny girls take for granted. I'm hoping that with support from others I can finally turn my life around. Anyone feel free to talk to me, I'd love to!

I'm very depressed right now and actually crying. I don't know If I even want to live anymore. All I want In life is to lose this weight and I keep gaining. I'm 150.. was 145.. and the scale keeps going up. I'm homeschooled because I get embarrassed of myself in school and I never do anything with friends..I always make up excuses because I feel fat. Some one please give me advice. I can't stick to anything. I always eat to numb the pain and I can't stop. I try to exersize but it doesn't make up for the calories I consume. I just feel hopeless. I'll miss out on so much waiting for the weight to come off. I want to weigh 110 so it will take 20-40 weeks if I lose 1-2 pounds a week .. and that's just to damn long to wait. I feel like I'm missing out.. I don't want to lose my friends .. I need help..please e mail me if you can help..PainFilledEyes21@aol.com

Hey Chelsea,
I know exactly how you feel I am 15 also and now weigh 153 pounds. I have lost 43 pounds and feel terrific. I also want to lose more and get down to around 135. The first thing I did on my diet was cut my food proportions down and started eating fruit and vegis as snacks instead of chips and cookies. I know this is hard for anybody to do, but once you see the scale move down that first week or two it is an amazing feeling. Please e-mail me back I can help you with meal plans and everything. I don't want you to feel like you don't need to be here.

I havent posted anything lately cause Iv been really depressed... I havent weighed myself or measured myself for at least two weeks!!! I havent even tried eatingt healthy for those two weeks... Well now I have spring break so Im trying to get myself back on track... Ive been reading this book and it says that you dont have to count calories... so I decided Im not going to all Im going to do is watch my portions and not eat anything that is not nutritional... the book saysd its not a diet but a "way of life" lol which makes sense... because when you are dieting you feel sooo hungry and deprived... which when you are done... you binge... cause i know I do... I may not eat for a couple days and then I binge.. well i decided to try to stop this... Im not going to be "dieting" anymore Im just going to be eating healthy and excerising more... I just weighed myself... I weigh 215! I gained all the weight I lost... Im hoping to be 160 by the end of May... even if Im 170 Ill be happier..

Hey, we are going to eat at a mexican resturant with my cousin tonight and her new baby, but it will be difficult not to order a ton there. Is mexican food the worst for you? Should i just not eat as much of it? thanks.

What do you guys think?

I don't think that you ate too much. The donught is ok if you only have one once in a while. Keep in mind, it's ok to have a brownie, just don't eat the entire pan!!! The same goes for dougnuts. Don't eat more that the one and you will be ok. Other than that, you did great!!!

Try to cut everything you eat in half. Eeat slowly through meals and if that doesnt work, try the blindfold technique. Blindfold yourself while you eat. You'll find that you eat less because you dont see the food. Stick to low-fat recipes and foods. Veggies are really good and so is fruit. Try not to eat more than 6 oz of meat a day and eat whole wheats instead of white bread. If you dont already, use only skim milk. You can start by edging down from whole to 2% to 1% to skim. Drink alot of water but dont force it in you, you dont want to get sick. And if you can, try doing tae-bo. I just started it a couple of days ago and i already feel the work in me and i cant wait to do it everyday. Good Luck and keep us posted on how youre doing!!
