Ht. 5'3", Start: 134 lb, Today: 278 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 130 lb - Im Amy. I used to be kinda skinny, but I started eating more and not playing soccer, and I've put on a lot of weight in the last several years. At first, I hated being like this. I had to buy all new clothes and it was difficult to force myself into even the larger sizes, and I would always bulge out of jeans or shorts. Now, I dont care. I actually enjoy my weight. Yes, I have stretch marks. I jiggle, and i hate 3 large fat rolls that layer my stomach, and it's hard to get up sometimes. But I can eat whatever I want! i eat when i get stressed out, but lately i havent been trying to stop myself. I've put on a lot more weight, and now I have to wear my pants below my stomach. unfortunately my stomach hangs out all the time, but my parents wont buy me new pants or shirts until i start losing weight. but I dont WANT to lose weight. I love to overeat. I feel like i should care and want to lose weight since I am getting fatter and fatter, but the food is so good! soon none of my clothes will be able to fit anymore though, but i dont know what to do. I dont think anyone can help me at this point. :(

I've tried multiple times to lose weight, and I eventually gained it all back. Why? Because I wasn't doing it for me. I felt like it's what my parents wanted me to do. Now, I'm losing the weight for me, and it's working and i feel great. Don't lose weight until you're ready, truly committed to succeeding. Don't lose weight for anyone but yourself. And don't lose weight for the "cute clothes" or whatever lame excuse us girls tend to come up with. Lose it to be healthier. Do it for you.

hey I know how you feel. I'm always trying to lose weight bc my mom tells I'm getting too fat. I haven't actually ever successfully lost weight. Sometimes I reach the point where I'm fine I'll just be fat for the rest of my life and then I start eating again. The thing about eating when your overweight is that it's a vicious cycle and you eventually have to put it to an end. Because, I for one know that I want to do things with my life. I want to play sports and be happy. I know i 'm a kind of a hypoceite bc I haven't lost weight yet but try to and if it doesn't work out then things can go back to normal.
