Ht. 5'0'', Wt. 150 - ok so i want to lose weight over the summer because i think the reason i never have a boyfriend is because i am heavier. i am fine with my personality, i just have a hard time talking to guys because i am so self concious. plus my mom said she would pay me $50 if i lost the weight as a little incentive- not really working however. I just am an emotional eater. if i'm bored, I eat. if i am sad, I make myself some nice chocolate covered strawberries. i just can't seem to find a way to deal with it anymore. today for breakfast i had a bowl of cereal with skim milk and strawberries. lunch i had the rest of the strawberries, a banana, some pasta salad, a cookie, and chips with taco dip. i however did some physical stuff= i played with my cousin for like a half hour (babysitting) on the swingset and pushing him around, and i had tennis for an hour and a half- but its not really intense tennis if you know what i mean. when i got back from tennis i had a piece of watermelon, and i am thinking about not eating dinner becuase of all i ate at lunch. help?!

no matter what you have to eat 3 meals + snacks & what not. you can't skip dinner, because you might wake up and feel hungry. Aloso water water water. Water is your new best friend!

haha my mom did the money thing with me too..ah it actually worked..because i went to the mall that day && i chose an outfit a size smaller && i said with the money i get i want to buy and fit into that size but well when you are bored instead of eating maybe call a friend to talk..listen to music..go outside..watch tv..dancing is always fun =] emotional eating is the worst thing i had it too its not good to eat just for boredom b/c thats the main gain weight right there but good luck =]

Pecan---When, you want to make yourself chocolate-covered strawberrys just eat the strawberrys insead of the chocolate part. Drink plenty of water too...
