Where i want to be
alright well to start of i'm 15, 5'3", female, and weigh about 145 pounds.
i really want to loose weight. i am currently a size 5 or 7 in jeans, in hollister jeans, and i want to go back to being 3 or even a 1 but thats just hopeful wishing. i am athletic, i play soccer just about year round, and participate the most in my P.E. class. i go to the gym maybe 3 times a week, but it differs.
my biggest problem is the way i eat. i have a really bad eating habbit. i eat alot, but just as much as any other 15 year old, but alot of the time its junk food. this is my usual diet on a school day.
poptart for breakfast + glass of milk
whatever school lunch is + chocolate milk (my lunch is at 1030 in the morning)
after school i usualy have some kind of snack, sometimes chicken nuggest, or cookie, or eggs or something.
and then whatever my mom makes for dinner.
its really bad and i've tried so many times to try to get into the habbit of eating better because i know once i start to do it and stick with it for awhile, i can stay with it and i know i can loose weight fast because i have a fast metablism. anyone know how i can start getting into a better habbit?

Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
I would humbly suggest the following:
Get Calorie King's Exercise & weight journal and start logging in everything you eat and drink.
Buy a juicer or ask Santa for one. (There's tons of free recipe's on the net for juicing)
There is a book I bought my son who has lost 45 pounds it is called, "You Are What You Eat" by Dr. Gillian McKeith. She has a program on the BBC by that name and addresses.
STOP do not eat at McDonald's, Burger King, KFC or any of those fast food places.
At 15 I was still 115 and I am 5'3" like you. I lived on a farm and got up at 5:30 to feed and milk the cows. Clean out the barns and then sat down to a "country breakfast" however I had expended probably 2,000 calories by the work (exercise) I did.
I started really gaining after I was married and had children.
By 55 I was 300 and had to have a gastric bypass six weeks ago. I have lost 40 pounds but this was not "the easy way".
If you can, please try to change your eating habits to natural, healthy food and exercise, even if it's walking or swimming, join a gym.
While you are young, you think that you can do anything to your body and get away with it.
Time flies so quickly, it seems like just yesterday and I was 15 now I'm 55.
In your 20s, 30s and 40's you can fool yourself that "you're okay" but once you hit 50 you will begin to feel how well or bad you have treated your body.
How you treat your body now will determin the type of "old age" you grow into.
Do you want to sit on a porch and vegetate or at 60 going on a cruise and dancing in the moonlight?
Me I'm going to be dancing the night away.
Again, you need to really get aware of what you are eating/drinking.
If you can just get yourself into a healthy eating / exercising habit vs having to have what I had you will be happier.
CalorieKing.com 's food and exercise management log is wonderful, does all the work for you and let's you see what you're really doing and gives you a handle on developing the right eating habits.
Best of luck to you.
Be healthy!

There are Special K drinks you can get at the grocery that come in all different flavors and they make you not hungry at all. It lasts either 3 or 4 hours and works every time. This will help you not eat as much. It keeps your mind on something else besides your growling tummy. Hope this helps!
