Feeling fat, ugly, and sad.? -

I m 18 years old, 5 5 , and (since I haven t weighed myself recently) am guessing that I m between 110-115 pounds. I try to diet by not eating at all or eating one square meal a day. I used to excercise but I didn t see any results. My family says that I m too skinny, even though I know that s a lie. My boyfriend says that I m beautiful and blah blah blah. It s hard for me to believe him when I see myself as fat and ugly. I feel so badly about it; it s all I can think about, and my relationships with others are severely suffering. I just don t know what to do. Does anyone know any weight loss tips or anything like that? I just feel so lost.

Well if you check your BMI on any website, it will tell you you are perfectly healthy - however. Let s address how you are feeling and what s going on.Not eating all day or actually only eating one meal a day barely can do more harm than good. You see, if you don t eat for a long period of time your body goes into starvation mode and when you DO actually eat, your body immediately will take what you re eating and turn it into a fat reservation somewhere on your body because it doesn t know the next time it may be able to eat - if it turns what you eat into fat, then it has it there to feed off of later if you do end up starving. It s how we re programmed. What s better for you is to eat small meals all day - even if a small meal is like, half an apple, or a handful of nuts. Do that in small things all day long and you won t feel pangs of hunger, you won t feel like you are gorging yourself on food, and you are being more kind to your body. Try and do some exercises to maybe flatten your stomach if that s your area of complaint, like crunches. Or if you don t like your hair and you feel ugly, go have it changed. Do something for yourself. You sound like you have SUPER low self esteem. And while I can tell you that I was there and I know EXACTLY how you feel (only I was 5 4 , not 5 5 ) and that you will come out just fine on the other end of things, you need to take control of how you feel and really find out why you don t like yourself. Is it really your self image? You need to find things you like, realize how beautiful you really are... really. Just promise me if you are still going to diet that you do it the way I just mentioned, because otherwise, you are going to make yourself more depressed because your body will maybe even GAIN weight from you trying to starve it. Just be kind to yourself - you have to last a while, it s helping you run. Don t forget to take a multi-vitamin. Those don t have anything bad in them. No carbs, no fat, and drink lots of water too. That way you won t be missing out on any nutrients you may be cutting out of your diet ... If you re still stressing, talk to your doctor about it. Go meet with your family doctor, honestly tell him how you feel, see if he can t do something for you or recommend the healthy way to lose weight or whatever.I don t think you need to lose weight, but what I say doesn t dictate how you feel.Good luck, and email me if you ever need to chat! Because I know what you re talking about!

u r sooooo not fat, you just think you are. i know what fat is, cuz i m it, and you re NOT!!! Report Abuse

Listen to me now. Life is not about this. Life is not about being fat or ugly. Life is about people and experiences. Even if you weigh a bit more than what you said, you are thin. You are NOT fat. Not eating at all or eating only one meal is NOT good for your body. Do not do this to yourself. Your body was given to you as a gift; I suggest you take care of it, because you re only getting one for the rest of your life. Make sure it s in top condition of a nice, long life. Exercise does not always need to be about losing weight; exercise is for keeping you fit. Your heart needs a workout once in a while, just to make sure it doesn t become too weak. Your boyfriend and your family love you more than you possibly know, and what they think about you is the only thing that should matter. They care for you, and if you become a little bit on the heavy side, trust them to tell you, and then...fix it. But I don t think you ll ever have that experience. Life has its ups and downs, and sometimes they last for a very long period of time. But you will get through this. It will pass, dear, it will pass. You don t need weight loss tips...just take care of yourself. Junk food...lazy days...they re just a part of life. Do NOT feel bad--do NOT kill yourself over such senseless matters. I have never met you, and nor will I ever meet you (most likely), but I want you to feel better; I don t want you to feel you re lost. Sadness is a state of mind that only the person experiencing it can overcome. I hope you will heed my words.

you have a problem.... you have a bad self image of yourself seek counciling please ...you are not fat sweetie...you are at a perfect weight for your height...

beilive what you and ur heart beilive in dont worry what other says. and umm dont go on those crazy diet not eating at all cuz ur making it worst i use to do that and it sux and no result. just build up a habit like eat normal each day 3-5 small meal. and make a promise to ur self that ima work out this morning or at least 3 times a week or more. there simple and easy no confusing, mix up, money wasting, long story weight losing trick.

this is a disease. you are not fat. sad, certainly you are i can see that. body mass index calculations for a person 5 5, would indicate that no weight over 140 could be considered overweight. and anything under 130, trust me, is very thin. i am 5 5, and i woudl give my right arm to weigh 115! 125 would be a realistic goal , actually! you dont need to lose weight. believe in yourself, that its more important wants inside than wahts outside, and whats outside, is not overweight. if you are however feeling fat, ugly and sad, and this persists. talk to your doctor i m sure they can help you

You don t have a weight problem. You have self-esteem issues, and that s what s making your relationships suffer.You weight is just fine, in fact you re underweight. The normal weight range for your height is 120-150 pounds.If you wanna look great, eat right and exercise. Don t skip meals but forgo in-between snacks.

I would give anything to weigh what you way!!! I m so tired of these whinny already too skinny girls crying about how fat they are! If you were really fat, which you are not, you would know what I m talking about. You have low self-esteem, possibly even a eating disorder. Sounds like you need therapy, not a diet. No matter how much weight you lose, the empty lost feeling will still be there...plz get some help.... and stop making truly overweight people feel crappier than they already do!!

Don t ever stop eating because you feel bad about yourself. If you really want to lose weight and stay trim, do what I do. I am 5 9 and 165 lbs. I ve had two kids though, but with my second one, I kept all of my weight. I am unhappy with my excess weight and because I am not toned up. Losing weight takes time, to do it healthfully, so doing simple exercises like walking or riding a bike. Just three times a week or four, you can do simple leg lifts, or find out where you want to make a difference on your body, then talk to a fitness expert, if you can. You need to understand that no matter what, you are a good person. Your boyfriend seems to really care, so talk to him.I started taking ginseng pills for energy, then taking other diet pills that help as long as you eat healthy foods and exercise. Slim fast in the morning, or whenever you feel hungry can help too. Just watch the amount of foods you eat, and stay away from too much high calorie foods. Don t ever feel bad about yourself. If you ever want to talk, please feel free to e mail me. ghostmyst_76@yahoo.com

HI, I know how you are feeling but trust me you are not fat. It sounds like you may be developing an eating disorder and you should talk to your family about it and go see a doctor. HOpe you feel better in the future!

Honey, at 5 foot 5 inches and 110 lb you are not fat by any stretch of the imagination. When someone who is obviously not fat looks in the mirror and see them selves as fat they have a disorder called anorexia nervous. You will never see your self as thin, no matter how much your bones protrude from your skin. You have a real mental health problem that will cause you serious health problem if you don t get professional help. You are slowly starving you self and depriving you body the necessary nutrients it needs for continued growth and maintenance. It will lead to osteoporosis , damage vital organs, weaken your heart and your period can stop and if it doesn t you will not be able to give birth to a healthy baby or likely not be able to carry to term. You need to face the truth, and the truth is not what you see in the mirror.

omg! you are not fat, you are turning anorexic

Join the club

just like the others were saying you probily have an eating disorder. You need to talk to a Dr about this asap. You actually are skinny for the stats you gave us. You need to have yourself checked out ASAP though before things can get worse

sweetie, your not fat. your only 110 pounds, dont see yourself as fat, your far from fat!, all those things your mom, boyfriend, family are saying about you are true, and you cant be ugly, if you have a boyfriend who says your beautiful, dont look at fashion magazines that much, there depressing, and it doesnt matter if you didnt weigh your self recently, that doesnt matter, (one more time) YOUR NOT FAT! k? so eat more, or eat something, cuz your not fat

You should not be trying to lose weight. If you still see yourself as fat, you likely have an eating disorder. You should seek counseling for this since it can end up having serious ramifications on your heath.

hey, you need to stop wanting to try and loose weight, im basically, \the same as you, my family, and other people say im to skinny but i dont think so. I think you need to stop looking at yourself for you want to be, or how skinny you want to be and just be you, okay, cause thats who everyone loves, especially your boyfriend, listen to him, I have a friend whose kinda like my bf and he says the same things to me.. and more, and well, be thankful you have someone like him cause others dont and well your boyfriend will always love you for you not how skinny you are but for you, so put a smile on, and go fix those relationships that are suffering but most of all, dont worry about your weight, its not a big deal okay. :) good luck ..

Please i need tips on how to lose weight and fast? -

I m 15, 149pounds and i m sick of the size i am! all my mates are dead slim! and i just want to lose weight! please any tips?

Don t try to lose weight fast or you won t keep it off. It will come right backKeep a food diary where you write down everything you eat, and how much. Try to eat at least 5 different fruits and vegetables a day. Cut out junk food and fast food. Don t eat or drink anything with artificial sweeteners as they can make you gain weight or keep on the weight you have. Drink lots of water and green tea, and only one juice. Wholegrain foods will fill you up longer. Eating oatmeal for breakfast has been shown to help you eat less during the day. Just add some fruit and one spoon of brown sugar or honey to sweeten it. Soup is also good and healthy and fills you up - there are tons of vegetable soup recipes online. Don t do canned or packaged soup as they are full of salt which bloats you and makes you retail water weightThen you need to exercise at least 3-4 times a week. Find something you enjoy - cycling, running, swimming, dancing, rollerblading, aerobics or anything else. Get a friend to be your exercise buddy.

How to lose weight and be healthy and skinny/thinner? -

I weigh 108 pounds and am 5 , maybe 5 1 . i would really like to lose some weight though. i have a month maybe. i would like to do it before school starts. are some eating tips or excersises or something i could do to lose about...maybe 10-12 pounds?thanks so much!also, i would like not to have links to websites, but just you write what i could do. thank you!

You seem to be the perfect weight. Why loose more? Do some tightening exercises: Push-ups, sit-ups, and squats if you feel flabby. Also it never hurts to cut out the sweets and to stop eating after like 8pm. That always works for me when I feel the extra pounds creep up. Usually within a couple of weeks I can feel the few pounds I added on go down. Don t loose too much though or your body won t have the nutrition you need. Make sure to have 3-4 servings of fruit and 6-8 servings of veges a day. Cut out chips and fries too. Oh and watch out for Soda pop. It is loaded with calories. Drink lots of water and get some physical activity. All of that will help your skin too and make you glow. Also your mood will be lifted if you exercise. Good luck.

you really dont need to lose weight, but you may need to tone up.. try doing some cardio for 30 min a day and weight training for another 30.. you may not lose weight. you might even gain some weight but you will replace your fat cells with muscle cells which weigh more.. but you will look thinner and more toned.weight doesnt always have to do with how thin you are.. but yeah if you say you need to lose weight you prob just need to tone up, which you could definatly do with some exercise and eating a little healthier in a monthhavee fun.

honestly i dont think you re overweight but if you want to lose a little weight-dont starve yourself because when you re not that heavy not eating makes you bloated before skinny-run around your neighborhood at least once every other day-try to cut out soda and juice with water-sleep!!! not enough sleep makes you gain weight, plus it makes you more hungry because you have less energy

Um I am a little taller than you and I weigh 113 pounds with 3 kids and all my friends and family keep telling me that I am too thin. So it sounds to me like you are too. I hope that you change your mind about loosing weight cause you are small enough and chances are that you will end up sick if you loose too much weight.

Eat healthy, don t skip meals, don t eat just before you go to bed allow at least an hour.Exercise regularly, 3 hours a week maybe but make sure you break it up evenly. Don t work out for 2 hours one day and then hardly anything the next day.Keep positive. Don t let the worries get the better of you. Don t push yourself too hard because that can cause injuries and other problems.

I think the best thing is just to do sports or workout... or go jogging with friends or something! =) Its definitely a great way to stay in shape and have fun at the same time!

Join cross country, it usually starts on august first or something before school. Go on ur schools website and email the coach, running will definitely do that for u gurl, and u don t have to be that good at it to join! Get a friend to run with u :)

How to lose weight fast and healthy? -

Im 6 0 ft and weight bout 190.I used to weight like 158 in the summer and used to exercise daily and eat right, and over the winter i drank a lot and ate unhealthy.Now I want to make a come back and be healthy again.

Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we ve known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.Make a few additional small changes - walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can t get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one. In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy. Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don t. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies. Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day. Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body. An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc. Here are a few helpful links.http://www.nutrawatch.com/http://www.caloriesperhour.com/http://www.helpguide.org/life/healthy_ea��http://www.wikihow.com/Lose-Weight-the-H��http://weightloss.about.com/cs/fitness/a��http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/fe��

Hi!Reading about the Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet makes you wonder if they might not be on to something. The way the diet works is different than other fad diets that involve cutting out certain types of food like low carbohydrates, low fat or low calorie. Instead it uses calorie shifting foods that you would normally eat, increases the number of times you eat, and changes when you eat certain things for fast fat loss.What is Calorie Shifting?The way calorie shifting works involves tricking the fat hormones that are sent out by the brain. Every time you eat something, your brain sends out fat storing and fat burning hormones, depending on what the item is.The idea is to send more fat burning than fat storing hormones, so that the body does not hold onto the fat for later use. If you keep confusing the metabolism, you will see fast fat loss, as much as 9 pounds in 11 days, that is the first weightloss principle of Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet.How Does The Metabolism Control Weightloss? This scientific weight control fact about the metabolism and how it works stems from our ancestry as cavemen, when there were famine periods between hunts. The body would store and hold onto fat for survival. The metabolism has not evolved from this self-defense tactic and doesn t realize we can just run to the grocery store and get whatever we want.On restrictive diets, weightloss can plateau when the metabolism thinks it is experiencing a famine period, and it will only burn what is taken in. Even on some of the popular low carbohydrate diets, it is advised to eat pizza for two days when your weight plateaus to get the metabolism going.Why Do Some Weightloss Diets Leave You With No Energy?The only problem with many of these restrictive weightloss diets is the metabolism goes back to only burning what you take in and many people complain about being tired and worn down, when it is mainly the metabolism storing up the energy for later.By eating healthy, nutritious foods that are fat burning, the metabolism burns as much energy as you need. Many people on restrictive weightloss diets will regain the weight when they go back to eating normal foods.What Is The Best Diet For Weightloss?The best weight control diet allows you to eat the foods that you would normally eat, have in your refrigerator and cabinets. By timing when you eat certain foods, how many times a day you eat them, and balancing the types of food, your metabolism will burn what you take in and then some, because it knows you will be feeding it again shortly, instead of starving.Prepackaged fat loss products and frozen dinners are not something you can live on the rest of your live. You need to understand the basics of natural weight control, and Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet uses the fundamental principles of controlling the metabolism with calorie shifting normal foods you eat every day.Check my source, it might help. It s a diet that works. Good luck!

cut out all white flour like pasta, bread, creals, cookies, bagels, donuts, cakes etc...All called simple carbs they make us fat and leave us hungry for more.Stay away from raw cane sugar, soda, chocolate icecreams as well. If you need to have chocolate; choose dark chocolate don t overeat. Have half the bar.General Motors diet (google it) is a good way to jump start your weight loss but you have to be careful after that 1 week not to gain it back. That s when you shouldn t eat white flour products. You can easily gain it back in 2-3 days if you go back to eating as you used to.

Count calories. My husband has lost around 60 pounds in 7 months eating no more than 2000 calories a day. He eats good too. Small servings of meat and lots of salads and vegetables and fruits. He even has low fat ice cream every night. Said he has not been hungry at all.

How to lose weight really fast.? -

I m going to Australia this winter and we re going to the beach and I need to lose weight fast. I m 15 and 5 4 but 150 pounds so I d like to lose 15, I have a 30 inch waist so I d like to lose 3 inches off that. So what are some excercises and diets that would help to lose that amount I d like as quickly as possible?

* Take one pound at a time* Set Reachable Goals* Stay off the scales* Stay focused on being healthy, not thin* Fat Free?* Drink plenty of water* Reward yourself* Seek help if you need it* Watch your portions* Eat your food slowly- Healthy life every day!

3 Tips to Lose Weight Fast1. Watch those calories.What you eat defines who you are, from your personality to the way you live. By making sure that you only eat the healthiest of food, it will be easier to motivate yourself to lose weight. You can start by reducing your calorie intake to 500. As most health books suggest, you must train yourself to burn more calories than what you consume.2. Protein is your new best friendProtein is responsible for working up the metabolism rate of your body. With higher metabolism, it is easier for your body to digest food and get rid of unwanted fats and sugar. These processes are important in order for you to lose weight. Make sure that your diet contains food that is rich in protein.3. Drink water, lots of it.In order to keep your entire body and muscles hydrated, you must have plenty supplies of water in your body. This is very important for weight loss exercises and in order to flush out all the harmful toxins inside your entire body.

Get Some Sleep! -while we all know that you need exercise to lose weight, oddly enough, sleep can also help. Recent research has shown a correlation between sleep deprivation and obesity. Apparently lack of sleep causes an imbalance in the body which inhibits the burning of fat. So if you have sleeping problems, you should address this. Regular exercise can help with this. Avoid caffeine or stimulants beyond the mid-afternoon. Certain herbal teas, such as chamomile and skullcap can also help with sleep.

1. First start by getting up earlier than usual. Around 5:30 AM to do some of you workouts. Getting up early shocks your metabolism because the body needs more energy to get going. Right? This will start your system on the road to weight loss. That early start with about 10 minutes of stretching. Have a cup of coffee to get the blood going also.2. Do all the sit-ups you can. Just do them. 15 or 20 whatever, we don t have a lot of time to work with. Rest 1 minute repeat, do this for 6 sets. Already you are breathing hard and feel worn, because the body is working extra hard at being up earlier and then going right into exercise. If the early morning hour lets you get your cardio in, go ahead and do it. 30 minutes.3. Diet. Cut all current meal portions in half, just cut them in half, nothing fancy or complicated, CUT IN HALF! Cut out all bread products, all gravies, candies, chips, night snacks, etc. If you crave at night eat a banana, other fruit or best a non-fat yogurt. There are some tasty ones out there.4. In the evening do another 6 sets of sit-ups maxing out each set. Cardio again. The trick is to stay with getting up earlier. Yes it��s hard, that��s why it is so effective. Why do you think the Army gets up so early, it is intense training to the max.Source(s):ok i didnt write this but i copied and pasted the words but i just put it in number order and made it easier to read.

Reduce Stress -stress also makes it difficult to lose weight. This is probably related to the issue of sleep deprivation contributing to obesity. While we tend to think of sleep and relaxation as the opposite of what we need to lose weight, the fact is we need both activity and rest to be at our best and for our body to burn fat.

I have lost 50 lbs. in 3 months and I know this will work. Eat small healthy meals every 2-3 hours, eat your last meal 2-3 hours before you go to sleep. Do not starve yourself or your body will go into survival mode where anything you eat will be turned into FAT. This will help you a lot but if you want more results you can exercise 3-4 days a week,For exercise try this (it worked for me ) http://www.weightlossdisc.com include weight training and especially cardio (walking especially running). If you set your mind to lose the weight you will lose it and when you start seeing how good you look you ll want to keep going.

Anyone trying to lost weight fast should look into the Acai Berry. It is one of the most nutritional foods on earth. The high vitamins and anti-oxidents in Acai contributes to rapid weight loss.
