I'm 15, turning 16 soon. I weigh 115 and im 5'5". When ever my dad sees me he always makes a suggestion like, you shouldn't eat that, you're just getting fatter and fatter. And if i ask for money for new jeans, he says, we'll stop gaining weight so you can fit back into them. I wear a size 0, and i'm growing, what does he expect? How am i suppose to cope with this? It's been bothering me so much lately. My sister, whose 20, is like anorexic skinny. She's my height but doesn't even reach 100 pounds. And my dad always compares me to her. What am i suppose to do?!

oh God.
first of all-
your not fat.
at ALL.
my dads like this too..but not this extreme.
im 5'2 and like,98 pounds..and he makes comments about me being a balloon all the time.
i used to cry about it.
and then not eat.
it didnt really help anything..because even as i lost weight ..it still wasnt enough for him.
YOUR not the one with problems..HE is.
talk to him about it.
tell him you're not fat. at all. go onto www.am-i-fat.com/ and look at the charts.
then show him
PROVE to him your not fat.
tell him to stop comparing you to your sister.
tell him it hurts.
and tell him that he should accept you like you are.
as for the clothes issue?
well, if your moms around..ask her to take you shopping.
if shes not, ask like maybe an aunt or an older cousin .. someone who will understand about this
or ask a friend . .or a friends parents.
a trusted adult. thats what you need.
dont listen to your dad.
you're not fat.
at all.
i really hope i helped.

I've been trying really hard to like focus on loosing weight. But it's actually quite difficult. I'm at like, 200 lbs and I was wondering if anyone could give me tips on how to lose weight for the summer? Like, what helps you stop your cravings for fatty foods? And what are good foods to eat & how to excercise.

well, its not as hard as you think =] really its just a state of mind.
first of all - stop thinking of whats wrong with your body, because that will only create negitiveness.
start thinking of how your going to improve your body.
self esteem is key. keep it up.
here are some tips;
drink lots of water. your supposed to drink i think 8 glasses a day. if your trying to lose weight- i say double it.
smaller portions are key- not just with junk food, but with all food. remember that.
dont eat after 7. its easier to gain weight in the evening than it is during the day.
run- around your yard, in a gym, on a track .. just run. but make sure you drink lots of water while your running.
whenever i need to lose weight, i carefully watch my intake of food.
before you put something in your mouth consider the answers of the following;
am i really hungry? [if its yes-then eat. if its no or not really- dont eat it]
should i be eating this right now?[if its not the appropriate time to be eating, then dont eat.]
could i be eating something better?[this ones important.if you could be eating something better than whats in your hand- put it down and go get something better]
is this going to help me reach my goal?
what stops your craving for fatty foods?
chew sugar-free gum whenever you want to eat something sweet. just dont swallow it.
lemonade is a good diet drink. whenever you want something sweet, drink A HALF CUP of lemonade. perferably crystal light, or something low calorie like that.
also- allow one day a week for you to have a sweet treat, like a scoop of icecream or something.
but only one, once, one day a week.
i hope this helped! & keep me posted on your sucess! =]
