I Am Losing Hope, Please Help!!?
I am on a diet and I am losing hope! I feel like I’ll never lose weight and I always feel so fat and disgusting and it makes me want to cry! I know that I can’t stop eating, but when I come home from school I eat something and I can’t stop and then I’ve eaten around 400 calories of junk. Then I try to burn it off and I get so depressed with the fact I can’t control myself and ate so much that I stop when I’ve only burned 150 calories. And I am sick of having to count calories and restrict myself from foods I love, and sometimes my mouth waters when my friend eats an ice cream at school. And sometimes I can’t bear it so much that I buy an ice cream and guilt starts crashing down on me like heavy bricks. I am sick of exercising 24/7 and I want to do things other than homework, watching what I eat, and exercising! I’m always in the mood for something unhealthy and when someone offers me something I almost can’t resist! And I’m just sick of everything, of all my food restrictions and my lack of motivation, and my ugly, fat, flabby body. I really need some more motivation so I can keep myself on track and I need more ideas to control my calorie consumption and eating habits. I am talking about healthy, 1200 calorie daily meal plans and I don’t like eating the same thing everyday. I love fruits and carbs and salads by the way!
If it helps at all I am 13 years old and 5′3.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!! I have nowhere else to turn!! *sob*
Distance yourself from your friends while they eat if you can’t control yourself. Get HEALTHY snacks (whole grain granola bars, fruit etc.) to eat throughout the day. You’re 13 years old! Stop counting calories and start eating healthy. You don’t necessarily have to pick the “diet” foods, you just have to watch what kinds of chemical crap you put inside of you.
Tell your parents you only want healthy snacks in the house, so that unhealthy empty calories are harder to get hold of.
Make a consistent work out plan. Do it even when you don’t want to. Even when you don’t feel like it.
Losing weight in a healthy way is a LONG process. It’s not going to melt away after 2 days of starving yourself.
That’s whats wrong with kids these days.
What you need are no quick fixes, no diet foods. Just good old fashioned exercise and vitamin rich foods.
ask a person who lives with you to tell you what to eat and control what you eat.if you over eat either make it up or punish yourself by not eating chocolate http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?…
Ive been doing “8 minute abs”

swimming, jump roping, hoola hooping, ice skating, running, racing, pogo sticks, scooters, bike riding, bad mitton, volleyball, football, any other sport. Hop scotch, watching Tv and doing sit ups, dancing, dancing, dancing? haha

just try light weights maybe..
– losing weight —
in the morning if you can wake up pretty early, thats when you have the most energy! drink a bottle of water plug in your ipod or whatever and listen to music as you run! — thats my first step.
Then you go home, eat a really healthy breakfast like fruit salad or something thats nutritonal.
After that you pretty much clean the house or whatever maybe take a walk while its cool, walk your pet dog, if you have one, i like to spend the morning doing that while its not so hot outside!
After that you wait a few hours being active as can be, then you relax a little and do some sit ups and lift weights to your own schedule… and your own statistics like weight height goals.. or whatever.. thats what i usually do! And then i like to stretch at the beginning of the day.. haha
MORE TIPS:
chew gum – sugar free. It makes you not snack because if you chew it, you dont want to snack because then you will have to spit out your gum! works for me..
thats my trick tip – now read the losing weight 411
EXTRA: breathing for an hour burns 60 calories, so thats a little lift off your chest haha
and sleeping is the same rate
excersise at least 60 minutes a day if you can

hey, you know what? The most unexpensive weight loss thing to do, is to try to burn more calories than you eat, dont eat unhealthy like a 500 calorie diet! All that will do is make you sick, you NEED to be healthy to lose weight properly. Im trying to lose weight too! So basically here are some tips to speed up your metabolism: Drink 1-3 glasses of green tea a day
Try and eat Chilli peppers somehow, ((chilli DUH )) they help.
8 classes of water a day
the more active you are, the faster your metabolism will grow to be.
did you know that breathing for an hour burns 60 calories all on its own? And SLEEP is very important, try to go to sleep on time and get your ages average amount of sleep,. ask your doctor what a healthy weight for you is, and then after you have reached that goal do sit ups and crutches – among many other core excersises, Run to slim out, and make sure you burn more calories than you eat – had to repeat that!
Fruits and veggies are REALLY low in calories and FULL of nutrition. If you like Tacos? Ditch the hard shell, maybe try a taco salad.. without the shell of course! Lettuce with meat is good, but PLEASE try mixing it with turkey and beef so that it isnt all fat. Chicken salad is good, you want the protein but you dont want fried anything really, once in a while if fine but remember – YOU HAVE TO BURN OFF THOSE EXTRA CALORIES. Excersises excersise excersise. Dont over do it – dont starve yourself, be moderate and stay active. GOOGLE: 100 ways to burn 100 calories, their are some pretty cool things you can do!
Stay away from starchy and high carb foods – mostly white things. Bread is a bad, so try to stick to thin, HIGH in fiber, slices
you can google all the stuff and before you know it you will feel so good about it all and IM actually excited to start working out and all that, just because I know what it will do for me!
I hope i helped
I’m also on a meal plan, and honestly 1200 calories is not enough to sustain a body. That’s why you turn to small binges of the foods that you tell yourself you can’t have. The body needs at least 1800 calories a day, but I don’t recommend calorie counting.
I think you should focus more on eating healthier. You can eat a 1/2 cup ice cream every day and not gain weight, and you can eat chips or oreo’s for a snack at lunch. You’ll find that if you allow yourself to eat these types of food in moderation, you won’t want to over-eat them.
And a half-hour to an hour of mild to moderate exercise is recommended up to 4/5 days a week. Do something you really like to do so that it won’t feel like it’s torture. And start slow, you can’t expect yourself to be able to do all of these things at once.
Try being mindful of what you eat for a week or two and then if that works start adding in a little bit of exercise.
