From Jennifer, Age 16 - 08/18/09Click here to reply Ht. 5'8", Start: 211 lb, Today: 234 lb, Goal: 140 lb - Oh no!!! I've gained again 2 lbs. that's 13 lbs in four weeks. :-( Today my mom told me: "You're getting fatter day by day". Wow. Didn't know that before... But what can I do - I feel like I have to eat all the time. My belly has gotten so fat. And I'm still hungry.

Reply from Jennifer, Age 16 - 08/20/09 - IP#: 84.131.35.xxx Thanks, Britney! Good to hear that I'm not alone. You know, I'm trying and trying and trying to eat those good foods and avoid the jung food. But then I get cravings and I just have to eat! I feel so helpless. Did you find anything what worked for you?
Reply from britney, Age 15 - 08/20/09 - IP#: 67.81.57.xxx the same thing happens to me all the time. i think you should keep yourself busy and stay out of the kitchen. and eating more fiber and drinking more water could help too. i keep gaining weight and it sucks. and exercise.
Reply from Jess, Age 16 - 08/19/09 - IP#: 71.17.34.xxx If you don't already, try to get your mom to get healthy snacks. Some I like are fresh apples, oranges, and bananas, bell peppers, individual apple sauce cups, individual fruit cups (packed in fruit juice, not syrup!) whole grain tortilla chips and salsa, popcorn, and tuna salad on a whole wheat wrap. If you're used to eating junk food, it might take a while to change your tastes, but it's well worth it. These things (except maybe the tortilla chips) I eat whenever I just have mindless cravings, because the benefit of eating them pretty much outweighs the caloric cost. Also, keep the number 7622 in your mind, you should eat about 7 servings of fruit/vegetables, 6 servings of breads/grains, and 2 each of milk & meat products a day.
