Hey guys! Let me say something about me

I'm 5'6''(173 cm) and I weigh about 155 lbs(70 kg).
I'm turning 16 on the 12th of April, so I wanted to lose some weight before the big event.
I'm not really sure if this forum is made for that, but I sure hope so
I wanted to write down my diet and exercise plan here so all of you can correct me if i'm doing something wrong.

See, my plan is to weigh about 125 lbs by the 16th of April. I'm not sure will I succeed in it, but i sure hope not to fail. I wanted to write this down somewhere where i will have people support me and motivate me in reaching my goal.

I also plan to work out from monday to friday. 20 mins running and 20 mins of orbitrack. I wrote down things on a piece of paper that could go better if i take action now to lose weight or the opposite. I plan to read it every day so that i don't quit. My parents don't support my dieting (all my friends are really SKINNY so i don't expect anything from them) so i really hope you will keep motivating me

Well, that's that from me now, I will be hearing from you soon!

Love, xoxo

Hey, welcome!
We both weigh almost the same, and I'm hoping to lose the same amount of weight as you, hehe! Good luck!

Frustration and anger.

I just had the idea to express my feeling somewhere so I decided it would be this place here. Today was one of the worst days of my life and I felt like jumping off a bridge but I managed to stay calm. Different things had happened to me since the last time I posted anything so I couldn't find the time to visit this page.

So far, i lost 2 kg. I was ill so it just went off. I find it very difficult to keep up with my diet because my mom always makes me a meal when i come back from school. It's okay when i have school in the morning, but having a late lunch at 7 p.m. is really NOT neccesary. Nevertheless, I won't quit. I have been humiliated a lot of times in my life and it won't happen again. People had tried, nothing else, but to hurt my feelings. I feel so disappointed that it's just kept me going. I plan to lose 7 kg more till the 24th of April. I will do it. I don't care how unhealthy it is and what i could do to myself. I DON'T CARE. I just want to show those people who thought i couldn't make it, that i CAN. Enough is enough. I look myself in the mirror and see an overweight person. Which I'm really not. Oh wow, I'm not 160 tall and i don't weigh 45 kg. I'm 173 cm tall and i weigh 67 kg. For gods sake -.- If i don't do this, same sh!t will happen to me and I will feel worthless, ugly and disgusting. I'm frustrated by the today's world. Disappointed. Just want to scream out loud.
Anyways, just wanted to put this somewhere.
I will post my photos soon.

Thanks.

Hi Suni,

Life can be very frustrating sometimes. Before you do anything take a deep breath and try to calm yourself down. You aren't worthless, ugly or disgusting. Where did you get that idea? Other people? Sometimes people will put other people down because it makes them feel better. Don't let them get to you. If you really want to lose weight, you will. You aren't overweight by any means. Losing 7 kgs by April 24 may not be possible. I am not saying that it won't be possible to eventually lose it but losing the weight isn't going to make the problems go away. You know what I mean? I used to think that if I was only skinnier then all my problems will go away. Unfortunately that is not true. I feel better and healthier now that I weigh less so I am able to cope with my problems better (as losing weight was one of my problems-lol) but the problems are still there.

Is there someone you can talk to about the feelings you are having? Your Mom, a student counsellor, a good friend, another family member? Sometimes talking to someone will help. Have you tried talking to your Mom about the late meals and what you are trying to do with the weight loss. If she is anything like my Mom- she would say ' Oh Honey, you don't need to lose any weight'-lol. She told me that when I was 330 pounds. Mom's only want what is best for their kids. If she knows how important it is to you she will help wherever and whenever she can.

I am not a trained psychologist or anything but just a Dad that has a daughter that was your age a short time ago- she is 20 now. I know the frustrations she had at your age. I felt her pain. All I can say that may help is that things will get better. There is an old saying " Time heals all wounds" over my lifetime I learned that it may not heal all wounds but time will help diminish them at least. Good luck on the weight loss.

Hi Suni, I feel the same way about most of this.

Except I felt when I was obese that when I lost the weight I would feel great about myself, no longer ugly, and look more attractive to the opposite sex.

I'm not really sure why I did it, but I think I did it for all the wrong reasons. Happiness comes from within. As for me, I still haven't achieved happiness. If I mess up slightly, I am very hard on myself. But sometimes we need to look back and see what we HAVE accomplished, not what we haven't. So what? I recently gained 3 lbs...I just always felt I worked so hard to lose those 3 lbs. But it's not the end of the world.2 KG is great, you can do it!

I really needed to lose weight for me, and not anyone else. I did for other people, not me.

Have you thought about packing your own lunch? Canned salmon is cheap at the store, and its full of healthy Omega 3 fatty acids. You can also buy canned tuna but its high in mercury so don't have ti too often. Get some whole wheat bread (make sure whole wheat is in the first ingredient), put some lettuce on there (romaine), light salt and pepper if you want , and make yourself a tuna fish sandwich. Often I'll eat the salmon out of the can.

You can bring some carrots or other veggies too. It'll fill you up since they're full of fiber. Sweet potatoes (yams) are also very high in fiber and delicious with a little butter substitute spread and some salt and pepper.

Best of luck to you

Hey, I totally understand what you are trying to say. Time does heal all wounds, I'd say. Anyways, I talked to my mum and she said she'd stop doing that even though i know she'll do it a couple more times, but it's okay. You know mums. Thank you so much

I do that too! Everytime i feel like i ate a little more, i start feeling guilty and the next day i eat almost nothing. And yeah, I also want to do this so i could feel better about myself, but i know i am not doing it just for me. Congrats on your weight loss btw :O I will definitely think about packing my own lunch, but there's a little problem. I'm not a huge fan of veggies or fruit. It's just that when I eat, lets say an apple, i feel like womiting and i just can't eat it. Sometimes i force myself but i just don't enjoy eating it. I heard something about drinking fresh orange and lemon juice before a meal. Do you maybe know if it has any effects?

Oh and, thanx!
