hi folks, do you remember christmas last year? I remember very well, because i've visited my grandparents and gained there 15 lbs in two weeks. Can you believe that? It was just the cooking of grandma which made me eat so much. Those 15 lbs are still on my belly and hips, and another 10 pounds did come since this year started. I weigh now 180 lbs and feel really, really fat (I'm only 5'2). I find it's hard to walk long distances, and i avoid walking in general because i'm short of breath. I know that this doesn't help me to lose the weight, but i'm too lazy to start moving again. What can i do? btw, i don't eat fast food so often, just 4-5 times a week.

Reply from Meghan, Age 12 - 04/28/05 - IP#: 84.130.136.xxx Okay, i can't believe that fast food is so bad for me like you all are telling. But now i know that i won't stop eating burgers and fries. it's my favourite food, better that everyting else. I think I'll have to cope with it that I'm fat, and i won't stop eating it. It's better to be fat than to eat vegetables. Sorry, folks, that's just my opinion. BTW, I've gained another two pounds since sunday.

Reply from Rachael, Age 14 - 04/26/05 - IP#: 207.231.98.xxx Also, your friends probably have faster metabolisms than you do. That's why they aren't fat. But if they keep stuffing themselves with this fast food nearly every day, believe me, they're not going to stay skinny for long. Nobody can stay skinny while eating fast food. It just might catch up with them later than it did you. Also, it sounds like you're in denial: "I mean, I eat only once a day fast food, not for lunch AND dinner!!! So i don't think it's too much." Sorry hun, but it IS too much. Until you realize that, you're going to stay overweight. Not to be harsh but it is important to realize how unhealthy fast food is. Also: You said that you don't like the "vegatable stuff" that your mom gives you? Well guess what--that "vegatable stuff" is GOOD FOR YOU. It won't make you fat. And you won't eat it. Instead, you're eating the perfect fat potion--fast food. Maybe find something else to do with your friends instead of eating fast food--you'll do all of yourselves a big fat favor.
Reply from Rachael, Age 14 - 04/26/05 - IP#: 207.231.98.xxx AAAHHH! Lol sorry had to do that. But seriosuly, you aren't getting it!!! Lets take a typical fast food meal: Burger, Fries, and a Soda. That one meal right there would be nearly enough calories for the ENTIRE DAY. Did you read that? It's VERY VERY VERY important that you cut down on fast food. You will never lose weight if you can't do that. Maybe save if for once a week treat or something? You need to stop right now. FAST FOOD IS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS YOU CAN PUT INTO YOUR BODY. Now, maybe there are exceptions. I know that Mcdonalds is trying to serve a few healthier options. The only thing I would say is heathly there is their fruit parfait, and water. You want fast food? You eat that. Otherwise, you need to get out of the habit and NOW. You don't have to give it up completely---like I said, maybe ONCE a week you can have it. Not once nearly every day!

Reply from Meghan, Age 12 - 04/25/05 - IP#: 84.130.139.xxx I mean, I eat only once a day fast food, not for lunch AND dinner!!! So i don't think it's too much. my friends are also going there 4-5 times a week. And they're not too fat (at least not all of them). I don't like this vegetable stuff which i get from my mom!
Reply from Rachael, Age 14 - 04/25/05 - IP#: 207.231.96.xxx C'mon girl, you think that eating fast food 4-5 times a week isn't alot?!?! I eat fast food, oh, maybe once a year if that!! 4-5 times a week is nearly every day---I call that too much!! You need to cut down, big time. It's no wonder you're overweight!! Save it for a once a month treat, like Jenna said.
Reply from jenn, Age 12 - 04/24/05 - IP#: 69.177.171.xxx ok, eatin fast food 4 to 5 times a week is terrible!! maybe once a month as a treat!!!
