I am not fat at all.but i want to go on a diet becasue my borther acts hard in front of his friends and says fat cow and stuff liek that.I hate it when hes like this. What can i do?
aimee answered Saturday June 4 2005, 12:40 pm: If you are not fat, then why go on a diet?! Just face up to your brother, adn tell him to either shut up, or ignore him, because he does it because he knows it annoys you. However, if he is being particularly annoying, think of something really witty to say back to him, then walk off. Then he'll look stupid in front of his friends, and won't bother saying anything anymore with luck. Anyway, he'll soon grown out of it! [ aimee's advice column | Ask aimee A Question ]

XxSwEeTtArTxX answered Wednesday June 1 2005, 5:40 pm: don't go on a diet just cz what your brother was saying. that's how eating disorders generally happen. all you need to do is just play along when he says that, or just completely ignore him. then he'll get bored of saying that cz he's getting no reaction out of you! don't listen to him, he's just being a jerk.
HeathaAa answered Wednesday June 1 2005, 4:21 pm: don't go on a diet because of your brother! if you dont think you're fat then dont worry about it. he's your brother, he's going to say it no matter what. to try to get him to stop, talk to him when hes not with any of his friends and just tell him it really bothers you. hopefully he'll understand!

gangSTARfoSHO answered Wednesday June 1 2005, 3:56 pm: Try confronting your brother and telling him that it really hurts your feelings when he calls you names. If he doesn't change, you may not want to but talk to your parents/guardians about it. [ gangSTARfoSHO's advice column | Ask gangSTARfoSHO A Question ]
Sum41bizzyd504 answered Wednesday June 1 2005, 3:55 pm: umm just tell him how you feel about this... also diet is just really just eating less and just exercising... i mean you could eat all that you desire to eat and you could exercise it off! But you could tell...your brother this: you know what i'm kind of sick of you telling your friends... (you know the stuff he says) pluss you never know his friends might take it offensive... idk just explain things over with him and maybe he will understand and come to his senses... heh then again im just trying to help...
clearlypink428 answered Wednesday June 1 2005, 3:39 pm: NEVER, EVER, EVER go on a diet for any other person than yourself. that is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard of. first off, dieting isnt always good for your body. many girls diet the worng wy and actually put hemselves and their bodies in danger. if he persists to cal you names stand up for yourself,girl. there's no reason you should have to listen to a thing he says,and i he still continues to talk mess- then brainstorm any and all embarassing things in his life he wouldnt want anyone to know. this is a definite last resort, but after you clue his friends in on little things like that- he'll get the picture and eventually stop. hope i helped.

ballerina04 answered Wednesday June 1 2005, 3:07 pm: You don't need to lose weight if you're comfortable with yourself. Your brother just wants to make himself look good in front of his friends; my brother is the same way. Just pretend he isn't even around. He wants the attention, and you're giving it to him. Pretend he isn't there, and he'll feel stupid. [ ballerina04's advice column | Ask ballerina04 A Question ]

Michele answered Wednesday June 1 2005, 2:38 pm: You need a two fold plan. Burn calories and tone or build muscles. Burning calories is any exercise of long duration. Running, walking, biking, skating, swimming. rowing. Any or a combination of all, for an hour at least 5 times a week. Then work with free weights. Low weights like 3 to 5 to 8 lbs will help tone muscles, higher weights will build muscles. (You can use cans of beans to start.)You don't want to work on building muscles until you have lost weight. Otherwise you build the muscles under the fat and you will not look better. GEt a book on weight lifting or go to www.about.com they have a section on weight loss and weight training, you can sign up for their free newsletter. If you are going to work out a home can you invest in a few hand weights and a work out bench. You can't do the right kind of exercises on the floor. Look for books by Joyce Verdral, PHD. She has books about weight lifing that explain everything, and they have pictures and all. YOu can find used books and old books on the web at www.half.com for very little money.
And finally, yo need to go on a very low fat diet, here is a basic one that I used for many years, and still try to follow. I know this works. I lost 45 lbs. in 5 months. The more fat you have the mor weight you will loose
Cut all fat out of your diet. Read the labels and see what food you eat that contains fat. I mean the nutrition labels. Foods that are high in fat are
Whole milk
ice cream
potato chips
cookies
cakes
pies
cheese
cheese
cheees
especially cheese
cheetos
doritos
french fries
NO FRIED FOODS
snack only on pretzels and low fat popcorn
no candy
no soda
drink lots of water
consume low fat or no fat versions of
milk
yogurt
drink lots of water
eat lots of fruits and veggies
white meat chicken and turkey or fish baked or broiled or grilled. NO FRYING
no red meat.
Eat a piece of chicken or turkey no larger than the size of your hand.
Cereal is a good snack food. Choose cereals low in fat and low in sugar, have with skim milk.
Eat dairy, fruit and cereal in the am.
snack on fruit
eat dairy, fruit, 4 oz of meat, and one slice of whole grain bread, or pretzels or popcorn and veggies or salad for lunch
repeat for dinner.
have a smalll bowl of cereal with fat free milk as a snack after dinner. Or pretzels or popcorn
follow this NO CHEATING, and you will loose 10 lbs in two weeks.
This is taken form the FAT TO MUSCLE DIET. It is a book, see if you can find a copy.

zapreth answered Wednesday June 1 2005, 2:21 pm: Your weight is fine. Your brother is a little shithead. Try the following:
I'd start by giving him a nickname. Call him this ALWAYS, like it's the name on his birth certificate. "Stub" "Pinkie" Something that doesn't sound too bad to say in front of your parents , but that you can explain to him means that he has a tiny, little boy's dick. Once he can't stand it anymore, give him the bargain that you'll quit calling him that if he stops disrespecting you in front of his friends. [ zapreth's advice column | Ask zapreth A Question ]
