Hello everyone my name is Stuarty. :) I am 16 years old and I have come here to try and defeat obesity. I weigh 291 pounds :(, I know it's my fault I eat too many junk, you see I am a comfort eater, I don't smoke or drink it is as if food is my outlet.
I have tried dieting but I always crumble to the temptation of food. My friends drag me to Tesco at lunch time and I have to see people coming out with mountains of food, really teasing me haha. (I need to avoid tesco).
Obviously my weight causes the concern of my mother (Bless her) it seems to be a hard barrier to overcome.....I have been "big" since a young age.
My friends love me for who I am which makes it difficult to change.....and no one bullies me anymore because they think that I am "too kind".
The only trigger I have is to make one of my friends happy. Who claims that she has a fat phobia. I never knew of this until lately, apparantly she was scared of me for a long time and "just got used to me". To say that I felt rather small.
My mum always have the saying "Stuart you have a good body under that, look how broad your shoulders are".... I would like to lose weight to sifle the worry of her. She doesn't deserve it.
Sorry for my rant, to me my weight is a BIG issue. I hope I could become friends with some of the people on here. :)
Thank you for reading it means a lot to me. :D

Welcome to the forums! Best of luck on your weight loss journey, I hope you can find lots of support and motivation here. :) Just remember to always first and foremost make sure you're losing weight more for yourself than for others-- I find doing it for yourself makes you far more likely to succeed.
 
I agree! As soon as you realize why you want to do this for yourself it'll become so much easier to stay motivated. But i can't wait to see your results. Keep us up to date?
 
Get yourself a diary in the sub forum. You'll be able to track your progress and as long as you are true to yourself and to the diary, you can see where you are going wrong (and right).

Get yourself a food plan and exercise routine (of sorts) and you'll see results. It truly is as simple as that.

I was a massive 16 year old and it slowly got worse because I didn't do anything about it. I was also in the same boat, we'd go down the corner shop for lunch all the other kids thin as hell and eating what they like. But if you take a step back and look at what you actually eat overall; you'll probably see how bad for you it is. Nobody bullied me either and I have to say, I respect you for wanting to sort it out at your young age.

There is probably one word of warning, I wouldn't go crazy on the diet. Just try and eat healthier. Especially at your age; your body is still changing and to malnurish yourself for the sake of a bit of weight would be crazy.
 
Wow. All I can say is thank you. For the warm hospitality. :) I never expected such support at the very beginning.
kenziderhae You are right it is best to do it for yourself. As an added bonus it would make my mother worry less (I sound like a real mothers boy haha).
RollUpAndShine I will try my best to keep everyone updated.
Cantona Amen! The lunch hour is difficult. When I feel ready I will start I diary. By the way congratulations of the weight loss. :)

Thank you everyone. :)
 
Cheers man, good luck. Maybe just try cutting down rather than stopping certain things completely.
