Lately, I've been so aslkaalkn about everything. All of my friends have been telling me that I'm changing, and not the good kind. I've been really.. depressed, I guess you could say. I've basically given up on boys, because every time I try something out, it ends up going horribly wrong, and I do some pretty stupid things in response to it. I've been wanting to lose a lot of weight, but I don't really know how to get started. Do you know of any like, small exercise routines I could do every day, to get me started? I honestly think I have something wrong with me, like I might be "clinically depressed". I don't know what to do about it. I can't talk to my friends, because I'm afraid they're going to think of me differently. And I CAN NOT talk to my parents.. They would be so disappointed in me, even more so than they already are, if that's at all possible.
I don't really know what the point of this is, but do you have any suggestions for cheering up, or getting better? I can't stand being like this much longer..
You've got to eat right first. Cut out fast foods, sweets, pop, junk food. When you get going on a good eating plan it is okay to have a scoop of ice creme or a slice of cake once and a while.. just make sure its a serving size (not huge- dont over eat your sweets). A scoop of icecreme should be around the size of a tennis ball. If you can cut out that crap then thats a big step already. Snack less- 3 meals a day with 2 snacks inbetween. How I eat is (an example)..
Breakfast- between 7:30-9:30 a.m
-2 over easy eggs with toast and jam, one cup of skim or 1% reduced milk.. or
- cup or cereal (wheaties, total, special k, etc), skim milk, frest fruit or veggies
snack- between breakfast and lunch
- hand full of carrots or other fruits or veggies
lunch- between 12:30-2:30
- Progresso Chicken Noodle soup with whole wheat crackers... or
- turky sandwich with a little mayo and some fruits or veggies
snack- between lunch and dinner
dinner- anything that is healthy pretty much. Salmon is really good. Just make sure not to over eat mostly.
For work outs.. try jogging a mile a day. Just find a route around your neiborhood that is a mile (have your mom drive the route to see how long it is) and run that in the morning, night, whenever. If your not up for that, try walking more. Walk to places with friends, walk around, walk your dog? Walk more.. it's great for you. Plus, power walking burns as much calories as jogging I heard. Also bike riding! When im sitting around the house feeling lazy I get on the ground and do crunches. I seriously had the "pregnant" stomach look and after doing 50-100 crunches a day it was gone after a month or two. For exercises go here...
Now your depression problem. You should be able to talk to your friends. If not, what kind of friends are they. Your having problems.. they SHOULD listen. Espically if they say your changing and might be worried about you. Don't worry about parents.. I honestly don't think anyone can talk to their parents. For cheering up.. just find stuff that makes you happy. When Im at cheerleading I don't think about things that upset me.. they don't cross my mind at all and it's because im doing something that makes me happy. Find something like that, whether its cooking, hanging out with friends, exercising, whatever. That should keep your mind off stuff. Also, try not being alone. For me when I am alone alot I get really sad and depressed. But when Im with people I care about like my friends they do/say stuff I can't help but laugh at. And of course it cheers me up. I really, reallyyy hope this helped. If you need someone to talk to im here. I will for sure listen to anything you need to talk about.
