Ht. 5'5", Start: 151 lb, Today: 148 lb, Goal: 130 lb - i seriously just hate myself. i try and try and then i fail. today, i ate a small bowl of life cereal for breakfast and a special k bar and a bag of popcorn for lunch. so yeah, that was okay. only about 400 calories. thenn i got home from school and this is always my downfall. i ate a freaking piece of chocolate cake then like 15 ritz crackers with peanut butter and an apple. wth? i'm such a fatass. i tried to make myself puke it up, but i cant! i just gag and no food comes up. I just get so frusturated cause everyday i say okay, this is it, im gonna do well today. and i start out good then screw myself. now i cant even think of a way to work out cause its raining outside and i cant be active inside cause my house is old and it shakes. IM SO MAD !^$%&*&T3tr8f73. i wanna lose weight so bad, my friends are so thin and pretty and guys all like them and im the ugly fat one. i dont know what to do. i dont know how to commit. :( Sorry for the venting but im pissed as hell and i hate myself.

First be nice to yourself. And forget the part about looking good and guys wanting you. Those are some of the side perks but not the main goal. You want to be healthy... try cutting out more carbs and eating more fruits, veggies, dairy and protein. Also try to have a snack ready when you get home from school so you set a limit for your eating. Also eat more during school so you dont come home starving and want to pig out. THIS PART IS IMPORTANT! Also trying to throw up is going back on your goal to be healthy. DOnt throw up if you pig out, just live with it and know your going to do well tomorrow. Because you dont want to be throwing up or trying to everytime you mess up, it will only lead you to a eating disorder. Good luck! love yourself and live life no matter what size.

hey i know how you feel, lately i've been messing up too. but trust me, even with those bad days there are still good days. i hardly ever exercise. like literally... maybe once a month lol and i managed to lose 47 pounds just by counting calories. and for every good day there was at least 2 bad days. it just takes time but keep at it. you can do it

do not try to puke it up, bad idea. who cares if your house shakes? it doesnt matter!
