You know, a poor self image could actually be contributing to your weight problem. And at 5'8 174lbs, that isn't fat. Maybe alittle overweight by some "official" standards. But I'd say your problem is more mental than physical. There is no HEALTHY way to lose 14 pounds in a week. If you manage that, then you will gain it back in 3 days the second you stop whatever super diet you are on. My suggestion would be to make a few lifestyle changes. 4 - 5 small square meals a day (lots of vegetables, no sweets or refined flours) seperated by about 4 hours, and start and exercise routine ( 6 days cardio, 3 days resistance training, and pick up a sport or dancing while you are at it). Make sure you get plenty of sleep (7 to 9 hours a day, unless you are still an adolescent, which I suspect you are, then 9 to 10 hours a day), and your body should balance itself out and you will be the weight you are suppose to be. My gf followed this program and lost 30 lbs in 4 months. Good luck.
jeez what a bitch of a mother to say such things to you!!! god im only 3 inches smaller than you and weigh around the same and i aint fat!!! far from it im a uk size12 mainly depending on where i get my clothes from!! as for the height, you can wear what the hell you like and be happy in whatever shoes you feel comfortable in, and they should accept it,!!! your family are the ones that need help, they have to learn to accept you for who you are and stop this shit, if you want chocolate then eat it, but not the whole lot, but if they keep doing this to you they will only make you eat it to make them feel better about themselves as they have something to hold over you then, bastards the lot of them thats what they are, listen here and listen good THER ISNT ANYTHING WRONG WITH YOU OR YOUR SIZE YOU ARE RIGHT FOR YOU, OK! as for loosing 14 pounds in a week, you cant, well you could but that would involve cutting your arm off! i dont think you would be happy then? sorry but your friend has something wrong with her if shes 5'4 and 80 lbs, yes she is anorexic, badly so in fact
i would suggest you to see a specialist (like a doctor, dietician) if you want to lose weight. It's dangerous to follow rapid diets, and dangerous to follow any kind of diet without a specialist's advices at that age (i guess you are a teenager)
You complain about being fat but say you eat way too much?? Here's an idea, stop eating so much. Eat 5-6 small meals in a day, keeping your calorie count anywhere from 1200-1500 calories and I guarantee you'll start losing weight. Once you get into the habit of eating healthy, its easy to do. It becomes a lifestyle.
Don't listen to her.. there is something wrong with your size. I'm not saying it to be mean, I'm saying it to be helpful. Your weight, especially as a female, is unhealthy to begin with. You should NEVER want to use 14 lbs. a week, that's insane... but you need to eat better, work out at the gym, and slowly lose the weight. Go to your local gym, ask for a trainer, and get some help working out and learning about nutrition! If your gym is a good gym, they can help with nutrition adviec as well. You work out hard, within 3-4 months (yes, months, but its worth it and safe) you could become a very sexy looking woman who can fit into the clothes that you've been dying to fit into.
or yeah this is coming from someone in a predominantly "fat" population that goes from one extreme to another. Your either a stick insect or a fat blob and nothing in between fits that countries idea of ideal weight!!! nothing wrong with your size, except what your eating thats all, and by that i mean the type of food i.e. chocolate etc, and you can be that size and still eat healthly and be fit!!!! if you want to fit into the idea that you have to be skinny then go ahead and make yourself ill to please someone elses ideals, but there is nothing wrong with you at all!!!!
Thanks for the advice guys I think I just need motivation sometimes I just think even if i do excersise and eat less, I will never get thin. Im 16 years old, but its weird because my aunty and mum keep saying I should be skinny like other girls at my age but ive been naturally overweight all my life, and I continue growing taller, which makes me look very big boned . When i was born I weighed a friggin 9 pounds, 3 ounces whreas my cousin weighed 6 pounds and she is skinny so I guess it might be genetics. And also when i was 9 months old I began walking, and everyone thought that at 9 months old I looked like a 2-3 year old. So I think that I might be abnormal. I dont eat too much fatty food only the ocassional crips and chocolates, which sometimes ends in a binge. I do eat very healthy foods every type of vegetable including spinach, all types of fish quite balanced i guess. What makes me sad was that I was wearing a dress the other day my mum looked at my stomach and she commented on how fat, and pot belly my stomach looked she said i looked pregnant and that others will think that too. Every time I go shopping I see this beautiful dress and my mum says no point buying and looking at it because it doesnt suit, you and those clothes look good only to skinny people.
I like tall, chubby girls ALL the time. As long as they are at least 30-something. 5'8" and 170-ish is perfect. As long as you're active and not eating fries chicken and pie all the time there's nothing wrong with you outside of what society WANTS you to be. Fuck society. Pot bellies are hot. Very Goddess-like.
hey tam, at your age and the way you are feeling, cause it comes through very clearly to me, your self esteem is low, unsurprisingly, but one thing that you can do to help yourself is to stand tall, this pulls your tummy in, keep your shoulders back and head high!!!!!! also invest in proper underwear, it makes a huge difference, you dont need a lot just 3 changes will do, one on, one drying, and the other in the drawer ready!! this will make you feel better for a start which will motivate you in the rest of your life, dont go shopping with your mum anymore!!! seriously!!! honesty is good, but shes just being cruel, find another you can trust, a friends mum or someone else like that. You need to focus less on what you are now and look at what you can be, this requires the right people in your life. Dont believe me? look at those that have boyfriends who love them for who they are! they are happy and care free, this in turn stops the feelings of others projecting on you, yes your mum is unhappy with herself and trying to look good by making you feel bad!! really, you dont need it and shouldnt put up with that, surely you have someone that she will listen to and you could talk to about this and then they could make her see how shes making you feel? please try and think about that, you have the rest of your life to live, dont let your mum leave this mark on you, im speaking from expereince you deserve better. just reread some of the threads, Zoombie has a good point, have a look at school at some of the earlier art work, particularly female nudes, hey they arent the stick insect types that the media portrays now are they? they have proper bodies, curves and larger breasts, fuller thighs etc, they look healthy and attractive and they are the ones that have made it through time, think about that please.
Well, your mum isn't helping at all. Convince yourself that you're not disgusting, you just want to be healthier. Quit drinking coke/pop/soda, drink more water. Eat more vegetables. Walk instead of driving or hitching a ride. Use smaller plates. Don't listen to your mother. Don't set unrealistic goals - you're not going to lose twenty pounds in a week. Make sure you get plenty of fiber. It's okay to eat some chocolate now and then. Just not a huge amount all at once. Smoothies are an awesome way to kill a sweet tooth. Do some weight training, it'll improve your metabolism a shit ton. But whatever you do, don't let it consume your life. Tell your mother to get therapy. It's apparent that she has/had some issues on weight herself and doesn't want you to have the same problems, but is going about "helping" you the entirely wrong way. It's not abnormal for you to not be skinny for a sophomore or junior. Hell, I'm not thin by any means, and I used to weigh more than you, except I'm 7 inches shorter. In summary: Ignore your mother. Find somebody that does support your cause and will project some positive vibes, try to eat fairly healthy, weight train (you won'd look like a bodybuilder, I promise) don't set retarded goals, and don't bum out and give up after a week.
im the same height and just few pounds under your weight.. i prolly weight 158 or something around there. and i happen to have the little kegger goin on instead of a sweet flat stomach. but sometimes you've just gotta understand that you're beautiful and not let your family bring you don't because sister, i've gone through the same thing as long as i can remember, and i finally said, fuck you all. im beautiful and im perfect for my height. so poo on you. thats all you can do. good luck sister, you are a beautiful goddess! don't ever forget that!
Just for the record i got weighed today and i weigh the same as you. Only difference being im 5 10 and im a dude. I aim to be about 165 by feb in time for my Egypt holiday. Gotta look good for the nude beaches lol joke!
Also you must not want to be thin that badly or you would be planning a diet and exercise plan right about now.
The banner at the top of this page currently answers that question... CRAZY drug recipes! Honestly, I don't know. Hormones. I've slipped myself into some motherly skin, like Buffalo Bill with fat chicks.
Hey I get where you're coming from. Unlike you I have people telling me that I'm thin, gorgeous, beautiful etc. I don't believe a word of it. I think it's the culture we come from. It dictates skin and bone as the perfect ideal. Good example me: 125 (on a good day) 66 inches tall. I aim for 95 lbs. According to people what I see as beautiful is sick, unhealthy, and disgusting. To quote a Manic Street Preachers song "I wanna be so skinny that I rot from view". But bit by bit I'm starting to think that society is wrong. The ancient Greeks and most ancient cultures saw what today we call fat as a thing of beauty. Their prostitute were what we'd call today fat (I watch the history channel). A few simple changes (like the ones mentioned above) can help alot. Cut out soda(switch to diet) and sweet things and if you aren't veg, go veg. I lost like 20 lbs when I went veg. I also suggest listening to Beautiful by Christina Agguirlera (how ever you spell her last name), it's a good song to listen to. Hope I helped. (Doubt it though....)
Your not over weight or an unhealthy weight at all, close the magazines and concentrate on yourself. You think of the thin models and the stuff they go through, they look like fucking skeltor, gross gross gross if your unhappy then change, if people are unhappy with you say fuck em its your body, your choice, your life
