CRYING RIGHT NOW! .... (Please answer)? -

As you read by the title I am crying. I am crying because no matter what I do I know I will never have a healthy body. As some of you already know I have been exercising for almost 3 months and haven t gotten anywhere! I am so ashamed of myself!! I am only 12 years old, 4ft 10 and I weigh 60kg (132 pounds). I even have to go on the Tony Ferguson Weight loss program now because my weight is going SO out of control. As I sit here crying typing this question all I can think about is how Fat I am and how I m going to turn out like my mum.My mum has rewened her body by drinking, no exercise, over-eating, smoking and drugs. She doesnt even have a neck anymore and I am afraid of turning out like her. She says I wont because I will never do any of those things but I know with my luck I will still turn out like her.I am SO scared! I feel so rotten and I really need your help. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I will answer them.

I think your mum will affect you! Whoa, tell her not to smoke and that, actually, as a girl in a city with fat girls around, I think you should do a lot of exercise when you re free, as long as you don t pass out. Don t eat in the next hour or so. Drink water if you can t stand it. Be sure to add no seasonings to food, and if that is not tasty, give it olive oil. Drink Diet coke. Eat no sugar. Exercise?! Better do it in fresh-air parks. Jumping ropes will increase your height and make your heart healthier. And make sure you take in no second-hand smoke!

Sweetie, you are 12 years old. Why are you so distressed about this? For your own sake, I would STRONGLY recommend NOT dieting. You will do more damage to your body than you realize and will almost ensure that you have metabolism problems and weight problems as you get older. What you can do is stop drinking soda/pop, stop eating sweets and other sugar based things, and above all else, do NOT eat fast food, and exercise 3-4 times a week. Try eating smaller portions more time per day instead of large meals, and drink lots of water even if you don t like the taste or water. When you start doing healthy things like that your body WILL change! The hardest part is resisting the bad eating habits and unhealthy food choices of the past.

i went through the same thing a few years ago. trust me yoou can lose the weight. i dont know what youve tried already. maybe yore under eating. that would cause your metabolism to slow down. eat when youre hungry. just dont allow yourself any sweets or fried food. and eat smaller portions. as far as exersize, just go for a fast walk for at least 20 minutes a day. if oyu stick to those few things for 3 months i know youll lose the weight. just be patient. it won happen over night. good luck

hello dear.my goodness, at 12 years old - none of this should be concerning you.i m 30 - and i ll tell you a little something.most people look nothing LIKE they did at 12, by the time they finished high school. in fact, the majority of people who were heavier, got their growth spurt in high school and ended up just fine.it s not difficult to deal with your weight, but you need to understand that there is no quick fix solution. you ve only been at it three months and this is NOT a long time, when talking weight loss.join a sports team, get stuck into lean meat, fruits and veg. avoid fats and sugar (ie any take away, lollies, sugary drinks, fruit juices etc) and drink loads of water.the very worst thing to do is sit there and cry about it.i ve been in your position before. i was very lean, but went through a difficult time and doubled my weight (50kgs to 100kgs in ONE year). that sucked.one day, i d had enough. i decided that day to change the way i ate and overhaul my life. it really was as simple as that. i wouldn t call it a diet as that implies that i only did it for a week. today - five years later, i still eat the same way as i decided that day. no binging or chocolate or cordial. just eating good, healthy food.i found that changing the way i ate worked wonders. once i d started getting the weight off, things started getting easier.kudos to you for actually exercising (i hate excercise!!) but you need to take a look at your diet too.

Take a deep breath. And another... and another...I know what your going through. I know what it s like to be up late at night and stressing over everything.I promise, you will be okay. I weighed like EXACTLY that much when I was your age... believe me, it gets better.You won t end up like your mom. Your mom has made choices in her life, that s why she is who she is. And that s with everyone. And it s not a bad thing. You don t HAVE to make the choices she has. You can learn from them and decide you don t want to be like her.You need to just be you. No matter what you weigh, just being you is more than good enough for the rest of the world. I know it may not be what you ultimately want... but it s what your best at. So why not embrace it?I ve found that when I m not trying to loose weight, I loose it. It s usually when I m happy and active. Like going out with friends to a park or something.I really can relate to what your going through and you don t have to be anything you don t want to be. You don t have to be your mom. I don t need to look at you to know your a beautiful human being... and you always will be... no matter what you look like. It s hard to know that and except it, but it s true.

wow, first of all..is your mom still doing all of that stuff while you are around her? i would say the number one thing to get sorted out is her behavior around her children. it s the most unhealthy thing about your post.secondly, stress is a major factor in weight loss. it sounds like you might be more than a little stressed about your weight loss and lack thereof, as well as perhaps a few other things?if you re only 12, you are still growing. weight loss probably is not going to happen right now, and rightfully so. you are growing and need the nutrients and fat and carbs and all that stuff food provides. if you deprive yourself now, you re only setting yourself up for greater failure later in life.i would suggest addressing some of the other issues going on in your life other than your weight, and get happy and healthy and see where things go from there. i know a lot of the times that i am down or something in my life is making me nuts is when i hang onto extra weight. once i sort things out though, things start to improve and i can only suggest the same for you.

Well first, Dont be like your mom.When you think your fat, just remember who you are and there will always be someone fatter out there. Getting in shape takes work and effort.it took me about 4 years to get the way i wanted. I use to be a weak kid and small. im 16 now and i look(no joke) like a body builder. after a few years of good diet, exercising, and making it a life goal to get big, i did it.trust me, nothing comes easy. dont give up hope. learn to live with it and be happy. things change trust me. if you cant(but i have faith, everyone and anyone can do anything they set their mind to)then learn to like it. find its good sides.trust me there are good sides to everything. One thing i suggest is less soda, more fruit and veg. no joke. trust me, with some work i promise in a few months youll be turning heads. Dont give up, and until you achieve, learn to love it
