Dieting.
14-Female-5'6 5'7-220 pounds
Okay, so last week I was on the phone with a friend of mine Steven, and he said that if I lost weight and started straightening my hair I would be 'wickedddd hott'. Well I said that even if I did all of that he still wouldn't be-- which he didnt like but he had no right to say that to me. Well, my weight is a problem. I don't just have a little ponch- no im clinically obese.
Well I was told a good way to start is figure out why I eat, and I know why I do. Like every teenager Im unhappy, my parents fight constantly and I never see my Mother. I eat emotionally, to fill somekind of void. Sometimes I do it out of sheer bordom too. I am now recognizing when that is, but when I do it's like it doesnt matter I'll do it anyway.So I have to stop that.
I don't want to set a goal really, because for health reasons I should litterally lose like 90 pounds which is so overwhelming... So if I take it step by step, I was thinking like 20 pounds.
Money is a huge issue at the moment. We can't afford anything diffrent then what were getting now. Which is like cube steak, rice, and some kid of canned veggie. So I was wondering how much I should eat, and how much I should exersize. I can't do push ups in general so that's out of the question. It's weird my arms, and legs are tiny, like abnormally for my body. Its my belly, my thighs are becoming an issue but Im an xl[[sometimesxxl]] and size TEN in jeans. over the summer i went from a size 16-18 to 10. but nothing in my stomach went. How many sit ups should I do. And if I walk it would have to be around my neighborhood which is a circle. [[we know that 3 times around=One Mile.]] But it's getting cold.
I really wanna do this. and not for Steven because I honestly couldnt care what he thought. But we had this thing at school where everyone was like whats one good trate about someone. and we had to go ina circle and everyone said my best trate is my personalty, and confidence.
I DO NOT HAVE CONFIDENCE.
Ariele said she would kill to have the confidence I had. How I can walk around and act like I own the place. Say the speaches I do, and just not care what other people think.. Im glad I fool them so well. It was strange to have people think Im confidence when I know for a fact the very little self esteem I have..
anything you guys could say would be amazingg thanks for reading all of this. <3

sweetheart, first of all, this boy that said this didn't word it correctly. he said you WOULD be wicked hot, when the truth is YOU ARE WICKED HOT.
Now, for encouragement, think about how amazing its gonna feel to feel great about yourself! It helped me a lot, i lost a good 35-40 pounds so I can empathize.
Exercise : I personally hate it. Its like hell on earth, not gonna lie. However i have to do it so when i wanted to lose weight, I'd walk ALOT. I'd walk around my development and outside, and instead of being lazy and having my mom drive me to the mall, i'd walk! It does miracles and honestly walking is so good for you! And sorry i just realized you said that it's getting cold...how about in the day time when it's sunny? or if you wake up early go for a walk! its good to get the exercise done in the morning because you're pumped the rest of the day.
Start drinking water, at first it'll taste plain but give it maybe 3 days and you won't want anything else because it'll all taste disgustingly sweet. Plus, water is a good way to cleanse the body, so if you drink enough of it, you'll lose a bunch of water weight.
Make sure you don't over eat....but how do you stop yourself? I had this problem and i realized that after twenty minutes of eating something i'd be full. So basically eat smaller portions, wait twenty minutes and you should be content....ok so i know we all love to over eat because well FOOD TASTES GOOD! but that needs to stop, and the way i taught myself to stop was after i heard that if you over eat your stomach changes into a grayish color and expands. Personally when i picture this it makes me feel sick that the color of my stomach is changing and getting bigger. GROSS!!!
At first it'll be hard, but it's a way of life, you'll get used to it. kinda like walking, you had to try in order to succeed.
I really hope this helps you, I know you can do it. It's tough but in the end it's an AMAZING FEELING. if you need any support you can message me anytime. Or if you have AIM, my screen name is xxes25

Honestly confidence begins on the inside, you have to feel good about yourself. And you can too if you believe your weight is a problem. My grandpa eats to fill a void which is bad. You know their are different diets out there, I know nutrrisystem works, b/c I watched my grandpa lose a ton of weight very healthy.
If you don't want to go on a diet system, just cut back on what you eat. Stop eating to fill a void, instead if you feel empty go do someting that makes you happy, like listen to music or write a poem, or read a good book. Habits are hard and overpowering, but they must be broken. YOu have to get away from the constant eating b/c that is hurting your metabolism. If you just stick to eating fruits and vegteables and meats and cheese, you could honestly knock off your weight, I promise. I stay in shape b/c I choose to eat fresh fruit and veggies. Junk food is okay for you once in a while but not at constant. And you should do some form of exercise like walk a half a mile a day, believe it or not, that will help you get into shape really well.
what it all comes down to is just eating healthy. And be confident, because you are beautiful whether you weigh 220 lbs or 104 lbs its on the inside that counts. And I am sure you bring happiness to those around you, so don't obsess over your weight, just cut down your eating portions and you will be fine. I promise :)

Good for you for wanting to do this, and for telling that kid off. I'd say, the best thing for you to do would to just monitor what you eat. Only eat what servings it says to. Instead of eating junk when your bored, eat some carrots, or celery. Do something productive when you feel hungry, like reading a book, or going for a walk, or calling a friend up.
For the exercise part, i'd say start off with 2 sets of 25 for crunches. That means, do 25 crunches, take a one minute break, and do another 25. This website has a lot of different abdomen workouts:

Hope I helped. Good Luck. If you need anymore tips after you hopefully reach your goal, let me know.
