At this exact point in my life, I am going through the same thing, so I can see how you feel. Everytime I go visit my family, or my friends, they say "Mia, you getting a little heavy there..." My sister even suggested if I was pregnant! Do you know how pissed I was. I was pissed! She was basically saying, I am so fat, that I look like I am pregnant. My problem is i sit around all day, and eat, just like you. And I know how it feels to try on jeans that you have to lay on your bed to button, or can't button at all. Or, having to find shirts, that ephasize on your gut. It sucks.
I know it is so hard to just take time and exercise, especially when you're used to sitting around, but you have to keep trying. Try blasting the music in your room, and just dancing around for like an hour, until you're sweating like hell. Also stay away from soda, try Crystal Light soft drink, it taste great, my fav is raspberry peach, or Arizona green tea, its supposed to clean out your system. And you going grup on jumk, try fat free Jello products. And don't eat too much bread. Meat is okay, but not too much bread. This is what I started doing, and I'm starting to feel results, and I don't feel deprived.
P.S. whatever you do stay away from diet pills.

Well if you are bored, just pull out some carots, or salad, or any fruit or veggie. It is ok to have junk food once and a while, but not always. And i know how you feel, I was fat once too.
Hope you loose wieght!

Okay, first of all, no one is fat, stop looking at the outside of yourself and start thinking about the inside. You know that you are a beautiful person, and if other people can't look inside and relize the real, true beauty that you hold, then they are not worth it.

First off, you already answered your question... You're gaining weight because you are eating when you're bored, not hungry, or depressed about your weight. It becomes a vicious cycle because you get depressed about your weight, you eat, and then you get even more depressed about your weight. Here are a few suggestions for you to try:
1. Get rid of the really bad junk foods in your house. Make it a habit when you're first kicking this food addiction to reach for fruits or vegetables instead of chocolate bars or candy when you're bored or depressed and feel the need to eat.
2. If you're bored, to get your mind off of eating, go for a walk, or anything that just gets you up and moving... Away from the cupboards and fridge.
3. Whenever you're craving something that is bad for you, go to the bathroom and brush your teeth instead. I know this sounds dumb, but it's a trick that I've heard a lot of people do. I tried it myself when I tried to give up junk food for a while, and it actually worked.
4. In order to change your weight, you need to change your attitude. If you keep thinking of yourself as a "fat weiner", you're never going to get anywhere with your weight loss. Think positively, and remember that weight loss is a steady process and you won't see results over night. The fad diets and exercise routines you hear about on infomercials don't actually work... The only way to truly lose weight is to combine a healthy diet and exercise.
5. Exercise comes in lots of different forms. Do you play any sports? If you drive to school, why don't you make it a habit to walk instead (if it's close enough)? At lunch time, instead of going back for seconds of desserts, why not pack up with a friend and go rollerblading or for a walk?
6. www.fitday.com - You can sign up for a free account and it keeps track of the calories, fat, carbs, protein, etc. that you've eaten throughout the day. It takes a bit of committment, but if you're serious about losing weight, this can be a very good trick to help you see just what you're putting into your body. Gaining weight is not just embarassing for the way you look on the outside, it can also be very bad for your health.
7. The only way you'll be able to seriously make a change in your lifestyle is if you, yourself, honestly make the effort to change it. The insults from your peers won't make a difference until you decide to change yourself. I'm sure you're very beautiful regardless, but I hope that you are sucessful in taking control of your life and creating more self esteem for yourself.
8. It's always easier to tackle a diet/exercise routine/etc. when you have a friend by your side. That way, you have responsibility to go running with them, or to eat healthy lunches with them. When you don't feel alone in the world, it makes trying to lose weight a whole lot easier.
9. Remember that weight loss is a slow process. If you don't see results right away, don't get discouraged... It takes time. Especially in teenagers, when our bodies are still developing, hormones are going crazy, and all that wonderful stuff, it can be very hard to lose weight.
Whew, I wrote a lot. I hope it helped... Good luck with everything... I think that if you really want to make a change, you'll have no problem changing your lifestyle and becoming a more healthy person.
