Please just help me however you can


Question Posted Thursday June 26 2008, 1:52 am

First off, I do not see myself as fat. Nor do I think I am skinny. I consider myself absolutely average, with a little more fat then I'd like. Around normal people I feel great. But lately I have been exercising regularly at my gym that I have a membership to and eating less and healthier to shed those extra pounds, and since I started I've realized how many people in this world are the lucky ones..that can pig out soo much and never work out and just be so in shape. The more I think about it, the more it pisses me off. All of my friends but 1 are these "lucky" ones. I feel totally fine with myself (though still wanting to get skinnier for sure) until I get around those people and feel horrible! I want to lose weight for myself not for them, dont get me wrong but it honestly kills me to see those people! I was not born with stick genes and I will never be a stick. It's just NOT FAIR! I even use a calorie/exercise counter every single day. I admit I could eat a little healthier, but I should be allowed to eat a cookie or some chips or go out to eat once in awhile without worrying about it, like all those sticks! So beyond what I am doing now, I know there is not much more I can do to be tiny..but I guess I just need any advice you can give me. I am not even that big and I feel huge!!! I don't know what I am asking really, but any stories or opinions on how to deal or whatever is sooo appreciated! Sorry it's so long thanks =] And I am 16.

i used to be like that.
but now i realize you should work on your metabolism and the working out will help out a lot! trust me! and yeah a lot of things arent fair and it sucks it really does.
anyways to help your metabolism youre supposed to eat lots of meats and in the first hour you wake up eat something(it helps your metabolism so your body doesnt think ur fasting.. aka "break-the-fast" breakfast..) drink lots of water, it helps control your hunger, like before you eat, drink a lot and it will make you less hungry.

one more thing: make sure u keep working out! im 15/f 5"6 and at the beginning of the year i was 120 lbs. just from running and working out and playing sports i lost 10 lbs.

anyways hope i helpd!

I feel the same way. What i was told is that you should eat about 6 small meals a day to get your metabolism up. They also said something about
your body getting used to certain number of calories to burn a day so if one day you eat over that and dont burn enough then your going to start gaining weight.Doesnt really make sense to me but i hope it helped you.

:D

Life is very unfair and you only have to look around at those less fortunate than yourself. I won't tell you to be happy but just start thinking about how lucky you really are. The only person who should really matter to you is you and your self worth. It doesn't matter if you have that cookie or some chips if you balance it out. However, all the other people you mention may well be feeling the same way and doing even more drastic things in private to stay slim. That is not good.

I can't give you a magic formula to keep you skinny and eating everything you want to. I can say moderation is the key. Be happy with yourself. All the best.
