Everybody comes to a realization at one point or another, I'd like you to help me on how to deal with mine. As I've skimmed through this wonderful forum I've noticed that there are adults in here, and I really seek professional advice, or a comment that could at least motivate me to an even better phase.

I'm only 17 years old, seems like the whole life's ahead of me. I'm a junior at high school, got my license a week ago, haven't gotten a car yet though. This entire year seems like a mess. A complete rehab. It's hard to describe, but at 17 believe it not. My goals right now is to, lose weight, get a car by the end of my junior year, save up money for a good laptop for college, and get my education. I want to make an impression when I look at people and shake their hand. I have a weird social connection with people, and I can almost sometimes manipulate it to a point where they won't be able to tell if I'm lying or I'm serious.

My main issue that I'm addressing is the fact that I'm simply overweight and I hate it. I hate it because of all the stereotypical ideas people get if you're fat. I don't eat fast food, or drink soda. Though I drink vitamin water and gatorade sometimes, I realize how bad it is, and would never do it more than once a week. I stay strictly on water, milk, some orange juice. Simply because I don't want to poison my body with all this garbage world makes today.

I'm 6 to 6.1 ft (not sure), and weight 250 pounds. I mean that's just ridicule. I can't believe it came to this point, what was I thinking. I should be out dating girls, but instead my low self esteem isn't letting me do any of these things. I just look at myself in the mirror and it kills me. It kills me to see over weight.

So what can I do? What is the best way to make myself look good?

My bone structure is a bit fat, so I'd probably be a more of a built guy, If I put work into it, rather than thin. But I just don't want to be fat at all. 250 at 6.1? Make it 80 pounds less. I'll regain the rest with muscle mass. I just came to a point where I'd do anything, but I have no knowledge of what to do. I've tried to just run a couple of laps for about an hour a day, and go on a somewhat died, but that didn't work out. I'm giving it another real shot this time. I'm going to eat at 5-6 PM last time. Eat some healthy food in the morning, a fruit in the evening, and some salad at dinner, maybe mix it with some chicken. I want to come to a point where I completely eliminate everything from my menus. Rather replace it with vitamin C's.

I just really need help, this isn't me. Thank you in advance!
 
Hello,
It seems hard looking at yourself when you don't like what you see.
It's never too late for a change, just get back up and start again, even if it means starting over (like in my situation)
Fisrt off, This is something you need to do for yourself not for other things (girls, dating..and so on)
You've gotta believe that you will get through this. Look at yourself and tell yourself I'll achieve my goals and I'll fight the obstacles ahead

It's important to watch what you eat all the time, I went full on healthy food shopping
and I found really tasty, yet healthy food. I ate and felt real good
Drink lot's and lots of water, and how do you know how much water to drink you take your weight 250 divide by 2 and you should be drinking 125 oz of water each day
Make sure to eat morning (8:00-9:00) then at 3:00 and a little something at 5:00 after that go for a jog, walk anything that will get your heart going.

If your a gamer, I've heard DDR is great for weight loss each day and it's fun I even own one =)
I know I'm not much help but i'm sure other's will have better advice for you
 
Thanks, only we got lunch at 12 in school, so would it be the same to eat in the morning before, in school, and then 5 or 6?

I actually do drink a lot of water, probably 4 or 5 bottles a day.
 
Your Welcome
Yes, that should help you lose weight.
I remember when I went to school after lunch, I'd go right out for a walk during the lunch break. Try looking for the healthy food.
 
Hey There,

You should try drinking Green Tea as it helps with weight loss and has many other benefits.
Studies has shown that Green Tea burns fat naturally and increases metabolism
Green tea also contains high concentrations of catechin polyphenols. These compounds work with other chemicals to intensify levels of fat oxidation and thermogenesis, where heat is created in the body by burning fuels such as fat. Drinking green tea regularly will increase your metabolism and help burn fat safely and naturally.


A common mistake made by many is to rush into the toughest diet available,
Many people who are desperate to lose weight quickly will choose to follow a super-strict diet and fail. This is almost like torturing your self for no reason and you would have wasted time doing it as well.

Choose a diet plan that you can stick with so that you can benefit the most out of it.

As for exercise you should try swimming as its a great work out. Try swimming once or twice a week if possible.

Hope this helps.
