From Kathy, Age 15 - 02/16/12 - IP#: 99.127.198.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'3", Start: 353 lb, Today: 386 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - the holidays were really hard. it's so cold outside so i don't want to exercise and im too fat, anyway. i tried to ride my bike today, but when i sat on it i bulged over the seat and couldnt reach the handle bars because of my stomach. i tried so hard and my dad came with me and tried to help me get it set up, he even tried pushing me down but my stomach wouldn't fit. ive had so many embarrassing moments that i know i need to lose weight because it will never stop. i got my drivers permit and all, but i cant drive. i can't reach the peddles because my stomach is too big and my legs are too short.i really want to be able to drive but there are three rolls in my stomach and the top one is biggest because my pants are too small and push all my fat up and so it makes it so i cant reach and i hate it. my mom tried to help me get the car set up because she is big too but i already weigh a hundred pounds more than her. :( the holidays made me gain more weight because i didnt do anything, i just ate. i pig out on my own and then my mom asks me if i have eaten and i have to say no because i dont want her to know all the food i eat, so then she gives me more and i cant say no!! what do i do?? my knees hurt so much because of my weight and my whole body aches, but i cant stop eating. i eat when i am sad or just bored and my pants are almost too small again. please give me more advice

Im glad that you want to change! once you lose 86 pounds might consder driving at that point.... picture yourself being healthy !! when you lose one 130 pounds go to Delia's!! they are a great movation for me Kathy.. Im so sorry that you can't do much.. That makes me sad.. I feel bad for you... Im 5"3 as well. You can do this with will power!! cut your meal in half eat the one half and save the other half for later or the next day.... Don't give up hope!!! make changes instead of strss eating listen to soft music use a food dairy to help you why you strss eat and it helps keep track of your food intake and calories dirnk less sugrey drinks.. Once in a while is ok. Sometimes when I lose a curnet I go get new hair acceoriess or scoks.. But you can do it!! once you reach 165 pounds try Delia's.. Imaage that!!! my male frined helped me with my downs. He told me Jess you can do this... You do need support from family and frineds. I will pet my cats dog or snuggle my stuffed animals..
