my body disgusts me...
13/F
I cant stand my body! When I was in elementary school I was a little over weight until 7th grade when I got a litte bit taller then everthing sorta evened out and now Im in 8th grade and Im rapidly getting bigger. I have hypoglycemia, which is just a big word for low blood sugar, and Ive had to add carbs to my diet. But I went to the hospital last month because I was having muscle spasms, which havent gone away yet, and they weighed me and I had gained about 30 lbs. in 2mths.(since I started adding carbs) Ive kept the same weight for 3 yrs. (125) and now Im about 150. I have these huge strech marks on my thighs now and I cry everytime I see them. Ive tried dieting but I can never stick to anything. I love water, and I exercise everday in gym. Ive stopped eating so many carbs and I tried to stop eating my normal amount which is usually no breakfast, a calzone or nachos with cheese, milk and a cookie and dinner. How do I lose this weight? Its like no matter what I do I keep gaing weight! Thank you so much.

Talking to the doctor is the RIGHT idea. Ask to speak to him/her alone and tell them what you stated here that you hate your body, have tried everything and are miserable because of it. They can show you your BMI and the weight you need to achieve to be and remain healthy.
Tell him/her that you have no idea about calories, what to eat, avoid and that you exercise and don't get anywhere. They will be able to provide you with a diet plan and even better a referral to a nutritionist who can show you how to eat, portions and a lot more to combat your medical condition.
The doctor absolutely NEEDS this information as it is essential to help your hypogylcemia. It may in fact be negative to your health if it isn't disclosed and or dangerous as it's going to screw up your blood sugar for sure.
If your mom's the type to say "We're working on it." to the doctor CORRECT her and tell the doctor the way you feel and do not fear repercussion. It's stupid to suffer with a problem in silence than to say something.
Also, breakfast is mighty important and not to be skipped. If you wake up late have a normal breakfast. It gives you what you need for most of the day. Don't do anything about your weight without a doctor. That's why you aren't succeeding as it needs to be in a controlled manner. 2 pounds a week is safe.
Spill your guts to the doctor and never mind what mom thinks. Do it privately if need be. Remember it's you that is struggling here and not her. Reach out for help if you can get it. That's wise.
Your eating habits and weight affect your illness and blood sugar. Your doctor will want to know what you have to say. Why? They can't help unless you give them something to work from.

don't be scared to talk to your mother or your doctor. Go to your mother right away and let her know you don't like the way you look. For the carbs, you are eatting very bad carbs, that is why you are gaining weight. You need to eat "healthy" carbs. Whole grain breads and pastas, brown rice, sweet potatoes, skim milk, etc. Eat lots of vegetables and fruit, and some meat also. Stay away from calzones and nachoes!
