why dont you try explainin to your friends and family that you are trying not to overeat and you could use some support instead?
i try hard not to eat either and sometimes i cant stop either. thats because im currently under medication that makes me hungry half the time =( so i understand how you feel...
good luck and take care

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..!!

Hey, I have a little information but not much... First get her on some kind of small diet to help her to begin loosing weight. Weight loss is a process, and this process has to be done right or else something wrong will happen... Did you get her to a good doctor? Did they give you some type of medication for her. If not you can go on google.com, and type in weight loss. However you have to get doing some type of activity. I suggest if your family has the room for one, to get a trampoline. These are soo much fun for little kids, and they donot even know that they are loosing weight,or getting excercise. Also NO FAST FOOD AT ALL!!! This extremely un-healthy... Cook her a normal meal with meat, vegetables, and blue 1/2 fat milk. If she gets hungry during the day provide cereal... I hope that I was of some help to you and your family, best wishes,and good luck,Dave

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. It is not an option. The first thing you have to do is accept yourself. If you don't, nobody else will. Love who you are now, and that will help you change yourself into what you want to be. You can accomplish your goals. As for your family, they need help. They should love you for you no matter what. If they can't change their ways, find others who will support you. I hope you will find your way. Remember that all of us here are always going to be supportive of you. We will never give up on you.

I am the same height as you, and I used to weigh the same. So far, I've lost 7 pounds in 1 1/2 weeks. You can do it! Drink a lot of water! If you find yourself snacking on unhealthy foods, like I did, try to find a healthy food to snack on. I would talk to your parents too. They can be a big help! My mom hasn't bought any cookies/chips for over a month now, so when I go into the cupboards, there is nothing "good" to eat, except for fruits and veggies. Good luck!

Hey try not to ever be ashamed of yourself. talk to your mom about your problems and tell her that you really want to lose weight. maybe then she will cook the right things you need to accomplish your goals. if she won't cook what you want her to, then tell her you want to start fixing your own meals. Walking is a great way to exercise. but really ask your mom to help you because you cant do it by yourself. good luck!

I am extremely overweight. I know everything I need to know about weightloss from studying it through many resources. However, I cannot put plans into action very well and keep them up. Establishing healthy habits it not one of my strong points, especially in a house that is full of junkfood and overprotective adults. All in this house we own is sweets, and I'm forced to eat them since there's nothing else. I also can never get outside because my mom is very overprotective of me and will not allow me to be outside for any period of time except for at Recess at school. I am also overweight because it's in my genes. My great grandmother was overweight and so does my grandmother, and my dad. I am frightened of the risks of being an overweight child because I am most afraid of diseases I could catch--like my dad has heartfailure from being overweight and by drinking. This situation feels like one that's impossible to overcome, unless you all could help! I'd appreciate everything you could do to help! :)

your situation seems very hard to overcome. Try getting a jump rope and clear a spot in the house.each time you jump try to push yourself to do more.
well when your mom goes to the store, go with her and say mom, that's too fatning to eat and i would perfer if you wouldn't buy it because it encourages me to eat it. also, just try to play lots of sports and drin aolt of water. in most cases, water makes you really full so drink like a bottle a day.

Ht. 5'2", Today: 154 lb (BMI %tile: 95) - Hi, my name is Louise. I'm 5'2 and about 154 pounds. I've been overweight since I was about 8. It is making me so unhappy! The worst thing is the comments that people make especially my mum. She calls me names and teases me about my weight all the time. It hurts so much and its like I'm always waiting for the next critisism. Like today when she dropped me and two friends off at school she said that in future I should walk cos I'm getting too fat. Last weekend she was shouting at me for not helping enough in the house and she called me a "big fat thing". She is always telling people I am fat in front of me and she calls me dumpy. My dad tells me I have no personality and no sense of humor. I feel so self consious at school and I hate PE (getting changed). I only have a few friends. I think my mum hates me. I have never felt close to her. We are very different in every way (including looks) as I am adopted. She is dark and has always been skinny although she has gained weight lately. I have always been blonde and chubbier. She keeps telling me that she always thought I would be tall and slim but instead I am short and fat. When I buy new clothes she says that everything I pick out is only for slim people. Its like she never stops. I can't remember anyone ever saying anything good about me and I feel like such a failure and a dissappointment. I know it looks like I am feeling sorry for myself but it is how I feel. Like there is no hope. I feel totally alone. Most days I wish I was dead.

Aww Louise don't feel bad. my mother did at to me too. But since I am very strong-willed I todl her how much I hated it. It took a while for her to realize how hurt I really was. Just stand up for yourself and tell her how she is not helping you any by telling you how fat you are. Sometimes parents thin they are helping you by telling you you are overwight (as if you don't already know). Just explain yourself, that's all you can do. And if she doesn't care, show her how much you care by actually trying to lose weight FOR YOURSELF (not for her). And never feel like dying. Life is already short enough. *SMYLE 4 YOU*
