Hello C:

[xx-remix]

I had no one to go to about this, so I decided to search the web and found some forums.

I'm 15, and over weight. A BMI test tells me Im 16 lbs over weight. Im 5'2 and around 150lbs, sadly. I've lost all hope on how to lose weight.I've considered starving myself, but I know that it is unhealthy. I've considered crash dieting, but I just dont know what I should have to begin it. My appearance has gotten to me so bad that my mental state is unstable. I've got low self-esteem. People say to be happy in your skin, but im simply not.

I really dont know if I have the money to do a diet. I confront my mother about it, and she says she'll help, but it never happens. I confront my dad about it, he says im not fat. And when I try to buy something to eat that is good for me, he always gives me a guilt trip for the price. I really dont have support, from family or friends.

I dont want to be included in the statistic that "2 of 3 children in america are overweight".
I also dont want to get diabetes, because it runs in my family.

Sounds a bit harsh for being only 16 lbs overweight

Try just cutting down on some junk food and perhaps doing a little exercise.
Sign up for fitday.com or sparkpeople.org for a food log and see exactly what you are taking in and where the most calories are - then try reducing those things

Welcome to the forum!

thanks for the suggestion, I dont really eat junk food.
I've cut most of it out of my diet. The only "junk" i have is icecream on RARE occasion and granola bars.
