I know how you feel lol. I weigh 150 pounds, but since I'm very petite (4'11) I should weigh around 120. I keep trying to lose the weight, but like yours, my family loves junk food and stocks the house with it. It's so hard to eat healthy while the rest of your family is nomming away on sweets XD Lately my strategy is not to eat my meals with them. I eat my dinner much earlier than them so I don't have to watch them and be tempted. Give that a try. Also, if you don't wanna wake up and jog (neither do I) try doing it after school. I come home, do homework, eat dinner and then go run for half an hour. Then I relax a little till just before bed, then I do 15 minutes of intense muscle training in my room (push-ups, crunches, planks, etc.) after that i'm always so tired that I fall asleep easily XD

this won't helo so much with weight loxs- but it'll sure help her attitude and mabe through that help her to decide to lose weight. get her into a really supportive environment for a summer program- not just a regualr camp but something like upward bound(not outward bound- it helps people train and get into college- helps their grades and everything and has an awqesome respect policy- i know that it really helpoed me and because my parents didn't make a lot of money i got 3 summers of it for free!and got into my top college and feel better about myself and more determined to do whatever i want to acomplish!) other then that- i think you need to just work on your relationship with your daughter- be more open with yher about things in your own life and don't punish her when she's open to you, just try to help her. show you're disapointed but happy that she tells you things. um.. another thing that might help is get a mother-daughter gym pass and work out together! good luck!

Hi. I am writing about my 11-year-old son. We will call him "Alex." I'm hoping maybe you guys can help me. I need to get through to Alex about losing weight. He cries all the time because the other kids make fun of him. He wants to lose weight, but can't resist snacking. And I know I'm at fault: I work at night and can't be with him at school, so he eats all the time and I'm not there to check the situation. NOW... I don't want to NAG him. (My mom used to nag me about practicing piano, so I quit, and now I'm sorry.) What could I say that will motivate him? What could someone say to you that would help you? I love him so much and don't want to make him feel bad, but he feels bad enough already. Alex is a great kid. He's a good student. He's just so unhappy. Thanks everyone! I appreciate your input!

Wow! You sound like my father! We almost have the same problem. My little sister is also unhappy about her weight. She isnt "fat" or anything, but she is chuby and her friends are all really thin and she hates it. My father also works at night and can't watch what she eats because he's mostly sleeping all the time. But I do try to help her not eat junk foods, and instead eat healthier foods. Like fruits and veggys. She's been eating really good lately, so she lost about 5 pounds! I think your son needs to learn what to eat. And dont buy junk foods. He eats them because you have them in your house. Get rid of it! And when he learns to like and eat healthier foods, he'll lose weight. He could also join sports! That I think is the number one way to lose weight. Excersize! lol ok well I hope I helped! Good luck! -Mar
P.S- explain to your son why is it important to lose weight and be healthy- and how being overweight is bad for you health.

first you need to let your parents know and ask them to help you by not buying junk food and cooking healthy food so that you have no excuse for eating junk food.
to eat three healthy meals a day. And you can have health snacks which could be an apple, yogurts, and you should try to cut as much junkfood out of your diet as possible and drink at least 7-8 glasses of water a day

try and cut out all unnecessary bread foods. and also there is sugar free candy out there, which you could try. Also ask your family to get rid of the candy to help you out, they will understand

My daughter is obese. I'm considering telling her I want to send her to a boarding school that specializes in "healthy living" -- teaching her the habits she'll need to be healthy (and lose weight). Before I do, I'd like your opinion: How would you react? Would you want to go to a school like this?

John,
My dad is very concerned and has been about my weight for as long as i can remember. I struggle everyday with terrible awful thoughts about how terribly fat i am. I've even turned to bulimia, and laxatives at one point. He used to sit me down with my mom and turn me into a big crying fest. he would tell me that he was telling me to lose weight because he loved me, but all i heard was "you're fat and i won't love you if you are" My suggestion? don't send her away! that's the last thing she needs. What she needs is for you to just love on her. make sure you never go a day without hugging her. If you really are concerned about her weight. Ask her what she think about it (in a tactful way of course) Ask her how others treat her because of it. if you want to have contrl over what she eats. don't buy any junkfood. make sure your house is junkfood free.

Little girls get dressed up in their mothers stuff just to hear someone say you're beautiful. That's what she needs she needs to know that you think she beautiful, inside and outside. This is how i wish my dad would have done it. as it is i now have psycoogical problems becuase of how he handled it. I do admit that he loves me but i don't believe all the time. Make sure that you make it clear that you love your daughter no matter what happens, and no matter what she looks like. -Emily a 17yr old (view less)

I am the same exact way! I'll be thinking positive about eating healthy and then after a few days, I'll put all of that down the drain. Your best bet is to talk to your parents about the food they buy for the family. I talked to my mom about it and now she rarely buys junk food, except on special occasions. Keep saying to yourself in your mind when you're looking for something to eat; do I want to fit into those or not? It might help. Good luck!

She gains about 5lbs a week.She's had her pieriod before me because she weighs so much.

Hi there. I have the same problem (except im also overweight) but I find that whether or not your on a diet....you eating sensibly with and around her will help a lot. Also, when she gets those MAD cravings(i have the a lot, i call them my hunger beasts haha) then just take her away from the kitchen and play a board game or something with her to take her mind off eating. but be careful about taking her to the tv....it actually promotes hunger haha hope i was of some help..!!
