Overweight and depressed?
Question:
Answers:
The only way for you to lose weight is if you can commit yourself to dieting and exercising. If you keep telling yourself you're bad loking, you'll feel depressed, and you'll try and find some source of comfort. For you, this seems to be food. Maybe try eating a vegetarian diet; it keeps you away from alot of fast food, and it's easier to stick by if you care about animals. I'm not trying to push you to do that, but I just thought it might be a new approach.
Also, don't pay attention to those two boys. One is jealous and holding a grudge against you because his dog is outside. The other sounds so shallow that if he did think you looked good you probably wouldn't want to be near him anyway.
What you really need is some self confidence. I know that poeple say that all the time, but it is good advice. Guys like girls that either feel good about themselves or are slutty at your age. There are some exeptions, but not many. Really, find something you're good at and you enjoy, and do it often. Find "your calling".
You should probably try to repair your relationship with your mother. She IS your mom, so she does have an obligation to listen if you're feeling this bad. She's your mom, and moms love their kids. Since you haven't really described your relationship w/ her though, then maybe I shouldn't do more than touch on this.
Remember, nobody likes someone who whines. I'm not trying to say you are, but just try to avoid sulking around feeling like ou have the worst life ever and that everybody should feel bad for you. These people get out into the real world, only to realize nobody really cares. I don't actually know you, so I won't say you are, but do remember that.
If you are having a hard time losing weight, then you might want to see a doctor. They can tell you what you need to do, and they know what's actually healthy for you. Maybe they can help with your other troubles, too.
sounds like typical teen problems..you dont need to be skinny to be beautiful. honestly,my story,i found that if i dressed 40s 50s style i could show off my curves,im your same height and weight basically...and guys just fell for me...but now at age 20 i think,was it really worth it to please everyone else? the main answer:NO. think what will make you happy. when you worry about others and what they think is when you get depressed.
I was the same way up until high school. I was always the fat kid and always got made fun of for it. That made me want to eat b/c Im a stress eater. I turned 16 and went on a vegetarian diet.it was hard but in 5 months I lost 60 pounds. I recently gained all that weight back having a baby and Im back on antidepressants. I would suggest trying them out they help you cope better. Also I don't know if you can do it but try the veg. diet. Im starting it back to loose all of this baby fat. Good luck and try not to let your mom discourage you to much mine tries the same stuff.
i know how you feel i am also overweight and 15 if you wanna talk you should im me
First of all you do need to lose weight but don't get overwhelmed. Make small goals (like 5 lb at a time). Start by finding out what you should weigh. According to a web sight I checked out you should weigh about 122 lb(but double check that for yourself or with your doctor). I know it is hard when you are not in control of the grocery shopping. The best thing to do is get more active. Make a point of taking your dog for a walk every night after supper. It is harder to lose weight when you are in a stressful situation at home like you described. If you need to talk to someone start with your school counselor. They can point you in the right direction. Good luck! I know you can do it
dont be so hard on yourself.there are much worse things that could be happening. as long as your a good person on the inside that is all that matters.dont worry about what high school kids think...i just graduated high school and i will tell u...alot of high school kids are not too mature and pretty shallow so of course there going to act like jerks when someone is a overweight..
anyway if u want to feel better about yourself i deffintely DEFFINITELY recommend you either do a sport or start working out (and be consistent!)
not saying you NEED to lose weight.its so much more than just looking better...that feeling of when u start to feel progression and that u are becoming a healthier person...the feeling is unbelievable.not to mention it will build self confidence.youll feel accomplished and its a great feeling. if a sport isnt your thing try a karate school or something along those lines...something active and positive...i guarantee it will help.
im sure it will do wonders for you! keep your head up kid!
First the Mom, tell her that you don't really like the things that she says about you when your trying to better your self, Second if you want her to change you must do the same and stop saying mean things to her as well. I understand that your angry and depressed but you will have to find another way to vent like working out going for walks. You don't have to deal with anyone while your walking. The food thing its okay to think about food its all in what you are eating want crunchy instead of chips eat carrots stuff like that and watch what you eat you know whats fating. The dog thing give it some time he will get over it in his own time just don't let it get to you. and what ever else you do. do what makes you happy no one else. good luck
