about

Hi I'm Ali. I'm 15 and I'm in 10th grade. *Yay!* I'm origionally from New York but I moved up to Maine. I have a sister who is 13 and a 3 year old brother. At the moment my 17 year old cousin is living with us. He just moved in around april. Long story. I tend to be shy at first but I eventually warm up. I'm always the one my friends turn to for advice or just for someone to talk to. My dad is a phsychiatrist so I wonder if it's in my genes. *lol* I can be very fun, but also serious when I need to be. I tend to make good grades but I have to work for them. So thats me! Not too interesting. Oh well.

advice

Well lets start off my saying im 13/f and I weigh 155.I use to weigh 165 but then I stopped eating and I lost 10 pounds and well not eating isn't very healthy for you body and ive tried exercising with correct eating and that still didn't help so I just completely stopped eating and I think I over exercised.I would exercise 3 or more times a day for an hour or more and well I know im going about this the wrong way.I hate the way I look when I look into the mirror and I hate when I go shopping and nothing fits.Im a size 13 in Jr.'s clothes.Most ppl tell me that Im just exagerating about how big I really am and well I might be but if you were in my position you probably wouldn't like the way you looked either.Anyways to get to the point I need another way to help myself to lose weight or to gain self-confidence and be happy about the way I look without becoming anorexic.I can still eat so Im not completely anorexic yet so I need help before I get to that point.If anyone has any advice once so ever plz give me it.And I think Im pretty and all but I just hate the way my stomach looks.So plz help.I'll rate good so plz just help.Thank you.

-Unhappy and Depressed about my weight

It's great that you realized you have a problem (not eating). That was a giant step that you tackled. Well, it seems to me that your actual weight isn't the thing that's bothering you, it's the way your body looks. So start trying to eat right. You know that you need to eat the same amount of calories everyday to keep up your weight, so first try and find foods with less calories. Drink lots of water and exersize. Go slow with exsersizes. For example start out with 25 or so crunches a day and the next week do 50. Try something like that. Also try and build self-confidence. Plus, that will give you more modivation to work out because you will feel happier. Good luck!
