From Cali, Age 14 - 05/04/07 - IP#: 76.26.24.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'3", Start: 173 lb, Today: 173 lb, Goal: 110 lb - I seriously don't know what to do. Yesterday I started Weight Watchers, but I'm having some trouble. Not because of what you can and can't eat, but because of what we have to eat. My mom buys foods that are healthy for the most part, but never anything I like to eat. Then when she tries to, it's not healthy. Like yesterday, I thought I started out good. I had two cups of fat free milk with one packet of hot cocoa mix in both (I can't stand milk, but I need to drink it to lose more weight), then I had a cup and a half of soup that was low sodium and very low fat, but then my mom bought home wendy's and I can't waste the food considering our budget and such. It's not that it was that bad, but it was too much. It was a baked potato with cheese and chicken nuggets. Really, the chicken is kinda lower in fat, I found out. That was fine, and if you know weight watchers, you know there is a points plan. Well I had used up my points for the day by like 3. That would have been fine, but then I'm sick and my mom went out and got me wonton soup and an eggroll. I didn't have the soup, but I did the egg roll. I don't know what to do. I'm failing at this.Not too long ago, I was down to about 150-ish and between an 8 and a 10, now I'm 170-ish and between a 14 and a 16. I can't stand to look at myself anymore. I seriously constantly wish I was anorexic and/or bulimic, or atleast slightly anorexic. The way I got down to 150-ish was because I ate very little, but this was cuz I was sick for like 3 months and I didn't eat too mucha nd wehn I was better it just stuck, but still. I hate this. I hate me. I know it could be worse, but for me, this is worse. =/
Reply from Megan, Age 16 - 05/04/07 - IP#: 24.22.22.xxx Seriously, I know where youre coming from. But really what you need is the motivation and the power to say no. Thats what got me from 180 to 130 in less that 7 months. You have to be able to say no to the bad foods and get the motivation to go be active. You can't lose weight without that, and its not something an eating disorder can solve. Good luck
Reply from Alyssia, Age 17 - 05/04/07 - IP#: 165.139.169.xxx You have to have more motivation. Think of us on here. Do you like telling us that you ate bad? Probably not. It feels great to eat healthy. Think of some things to motivate you. Write them down. Say NO to the food you know you shouldn't have. Be careful with your points. You can eat unhealthy things on occasion, but not all the time. I know you can do this. Good luck!
Reply from Lyndsay, Age 15 - 05/04/07 - IP#: 71.112.62.xxx Awww. Stop it right now. You are beautiful. You can accomplish things. YOU CAN lose weight and reach your goal. All you need to do is eat right and excercise. The main thing to focus on is excercise. Increase the ammount you move. Bike rides, inline skating, cardio dvds, jogging, hula-hooping, jump roping, weight lifting, cross-trainers, dancing....whatever it is try to get at least 1/2 an hour most days. Eat nutritionally. For breakfast, have something like a healthy cereal w/skim milk & a fruit or a multi-grain waffle w/peanut butter & fruit & milk.....Drink 2 cups of water in the morning and lots of water all throughtout the day and before you go to bed. Try keeping a food/excercise log if you don't already. It's good because you can see exactly what you are eating all the time and what excercise you are doing and look back on it. Well good luck!
