I had my life style change for about 2 1/2 months now. ive lost 25 pounds and i feel pretty good. I dont notice it as much as my friends and family do. Mostly i wanted to lose weight for myself, not for boys or an image, i have a bigger body structure and curves so i know i will never be "skinny" and i relly dont want to be. I just want to be healthy and toned. Im really excited that there are other teens like me who have made a change and lost alot of weight to better themselves. Im a little low right now because im worried about Thanksgiving and how i will eat. Its not the amount that im worrying about its the actual food. I already kno i wont be pigging out but i also know that Thanksgiving food isnt the greatest for nutrition. Well one question for those people about 2 months into losing weight: Do any of you feel scared to eat at times for fear of gaining weight??
Reply from molly, Age 13 - 11/19/07 - IP#: 64.12.116.xxx YES! i have just seriously started today, i did lose like 15 pounds before but i gained it back so i'm determined to do it again and keep it off. It was during christmas and i was really afraid to eat. for everything i ate, i would go downstairs on the stationary bike and work it off. I then realized that i naturally burn 1500 calories a day plus my exercise. so when i went above 1200 calories then i would start working it off. Today, my mom made dinner and i wasn't hungry but she made me eat. i was really afraid that i would start eating and not stop because i have very low self control. but that is something that i need to work on. Anyways sorry for my long sagga but i know how you feel. Keep up the awesome work!
