I don’t know what’s wrong?
It’s awkward posting a question with my life on yahoo, but this is the only way I can find out myself where someone can actually be honest to me. I’m twelve years old and I’ve started my period. I’m not the skinniest of girls and I class myself as fat but to my family I am “skinny”.
I don’t know where to start. I think I’ve felt like this for at least a month but i don’t know what’s wrong. My family including cousins all say that I’m anorexic when they hardly know what’s going on. I don’t know the EXACT meaning of it but I keep saying to myself I’m not but when I think about it I feel… weird? I don’t know how to put it.
So like I said I feel as if I’m fat and that i HAVE to lose weight or no-one will like me and I don’t fee happy about myself. To be honest i guess i have tried losing weight and starving myself. My family started noticing that i was doing this and said i’ve gone “thin” so they made sure i ate my meals.
For breakfast i’d take something to eat up to my room but rap it in a tissue and throw it away. For lunch I’d tell me parents i eat but i don’t actually eat. When i come home from school while my mum take my little brother to classes so I used to pretend i ate when i don’t. I made sure my older sister wasn’t down stairs and told my parents she wasn’t with me. My sister complains about me the most!! She keeps track of what i’m eating. I always make it look like i’m eating.
After a while i got annoyed by them always looking at what i’m eating and when so everyday i take a shower after they watch me eat lunch (the heaviest). While i’m in the shower i puke my food out so i don’t put on weight as i’m afraid. I don’t understand why i’m actually doing this though.
I still do this now and i’m always checking my weight cause i’m scared of gaining weight and becoming fat. Sometimes now i can’t help eating. I say to myself that i’ll only have a bit of something and then i end up eating all of it and then i eat more and more. And when i’m done i get so scared. Then i go to the toilet and quickly vomit everything up and then check my weight. Sometimes when i have to eat i can’t control my self and eat a lot and afterwards i always make sure i puke it out. I’ve tried stopping my self from eating so much but sometimes i can’t help it.
I guess i’ve cried over my weight a few times but sometimes i think to myself why i do. I do exercise but only a bit cause i get tired easily. I don’t know what’s wrong and still i HAVE to eat. i always regret eating and feel guilty after and that’s why i puke it up.
Can someone pleaser help me! I don’t know what’s wrong. I don’t even know why i’m doing this.. I’m just scared of eating and putting on weight and i want to become thin.
I just don’t know what i’m doing .. Help?
I’m 153cm tall and i weight 42.5kg .. if that helps

Everybody always tells me im thick ina perfect way but that makes me feel even more terrible because i dont want to be thick i want to skinny, so i do understand where you are coming from and yes hun thats called anorexic where your scred to becoming fat. I have the same problem so dont feel like your the only one. Just google into the topic a liddo more. But all i have to say is eating right such as salads and stuff like tht Lol and plenty of excercise will help trust mi. Thats wht i want to start doing but if you keep starving yurself nothing good will come out of it. Like if your going to eat, eat fruits vegetables things like that. But i would love to talk to you at times and see how your doing because im going through the same. Btw im only 15.

Fast, Easy Diet for a picky person.?
Hi 🙂 I’m 15 years old and I’m clearly over weight and it really does suck. I eat pretty healthy but my family just eats out way to much, I do not like fast food’s but when you have nothing else to eat your gonna eat it am i right or not? I’m right. Okay well anyways; I’ve always been over weight and I’ve always been a picky person. I only really eat chicken; I eat it baked and sometimes I will eat it fried but that is RARE that i do that. I love love love spicy foods so I love hot sauce and stuff in my chicken. I love to eat yogurt and fruit and i only like carrots as a veggie. How can I lose weight by getting a healthier diet when I’m a picky eater.? Can someone please help me, I want serious answers and I don’t want anyone to be rude on here because It’s just not nice, I know I’m fat? K you don’t have to point it out 🙂 Also; I cannot exersice a lot because I was born with heart problems and if I do to much i’ll pass out or something bad can happen so if theres any light exersice you can put in there please let me know of that too. Any help would be great and I’d really appriciate it. I can list foods for you that I do like to eat so you can help more. I like chicken, bacon, potatoes, mac and cheese, pork, some steak but rarely any steak at all. I like yogurts of all flavors and I like all fruits except pinapple and I love to eat carrots and lettuce and things that go into salad. I am not a big fan of milk or cheese or really any dairy but yogurt. I do not like pasta’s or breads either. I will drink water but it gets to bland for me; any other ideas? I like soda a lot but i can easily quit drinking that it’s no problem for me whatsoever. just someone please help me i would seriously enjoy your help and any kind of help you can give is good.

Here are some important tips:
•Water (about eight 8oz. Cups of water a day, throughout the day, NOT all at once.) This is VERY important to stay healthy. It will also help you lose weight by flushing out toxins.
•Apple Cider Vinegar (take 1 tbsp. After every MEAL) [Best if you get organic and in a dark bottle as being exposed to light makes it lose some of it’s benefits. I recommend Eden Organic.] The health benefits are awesome and it’s great for burning fat.
•Grapefruit (1 whole) [Best if it’s organic and fresh but at least make sure that there is nothing added] The health benefits are awesome and it’s great for burning fat.
•Raw Honey (spoonful a day) [Best if it’s organic, not the cute little bear. Make sure it is raw, uncooked. And try to get it local as it’s better.] The health benefits are awesome and it’s great for allergies.
•Mineral Water (water with a pinch of celtic salt) Your minerals are important.
•Greek Yogurt (I eat about 3-4 scoops per serving) [Get plain and add your own fresh or frozen fruit and sugar (or Stevia)]
•Almonds [and other nuts] (eat at least 9 almonds a day) Nuts have many nutritional benefits and help prevent CHD.
•Cherry Juice Concentrate (2 tbsp. Mixed with 7 oz. Water twice a day [morning and night]) [best natural or organic. I recommend balaton tart cherry juice] Helps promote: anti-inflammation, pain relief, mobility and flexibility, joint function, cardiovascular function, anti-aging, immune system, sleep cycle
•Extra Virgin Olive Oil (1-2 tbsp. Per day) [store in a dark place] The health benefits are awesome and it also helps prevent heart disease.
•Vitamin C (at least 1000mg per day) Supports immune system to help you from getting sick and staying healthy.
•Multivitamin
Remember your trying to BURN FAT, not just lose weight.
You should be eating about five times a day.
Breakfast
Snack
Lunch
Snack
Dinner
This will help to keep your metabolism going. This applies even when you aren’t trying to burn fat. Of coarse how many times you eat depends on how long you’re up for. You should wait at LEAST 2 hours until you eat again from the time you FINNISHED your last meal. If your hungry before two hours, it’s in your head, not your stomach. Don’t eat. Unless, you’re not eating the right portions, in which case you should adjust your portions so that they’ll sustain you. You should be eating enough that your satisfied, not hungry, not full. You should also be drinking about eight 8oz cups of water a day throughout the day, NOT all at once. Use real sugar or Stevia, artificial sweeteners are bad for you body. When you cook with oil, use olive oil or coconut oil. If you eat chocolate, try to get dark chocolate as it is better for you. Exercise at least 20 min. A day straight. Whether it be walking, jogging, running, biking, sports etc. You choose. Try to avoid really fatty foods like pork. Try turkey bacon. Even if you think you won’t like any of these things at least try them, it might surprise you. And I spent a lot of time putting this together so it’d be nice to know it was worth while.
I sincerely hope this helps you.

Amazed at Calorie Counting by the first time-Weren’t you shocked?!?
So, I have had trouble with my weight for a long time, and a year of asking and looking at questions here on Yahoo Answers finally got me motivated to do something about it.
So, I have made motivational goals in the months to come, and yes it will probably take me 1-2 years to lose weight. I am patient, because I want to be healthy about this. Well, in the process, I kept reading that everyone should write a calorie log or journal, and that it helps with food intake. Skeptic, thinking I could do it mentally and be okay, decided that I should try it to see what I was eating and OH MY FREAKING GOD I WAS SURPRISED AT HOW MUCH I ATE! I was in shock! And how easy it was to simply eat an extra 1000 calories and not even know it! No wonder weight gain in America is such a problem! At first, I wanted to cry, because I knew I put myself in this position, and it was all my fault that these years I had behind me were miserable. I mean, really, common sense dictates that it is our faults anyway, no one can force you to eat or become unhealthy but yourself. But, still, I never actually realized it until now. Why? Well, I guess that is the social psychology.
It took like an hour to finally come out of my mini-depression (didn’t emotionally eat though), but after that hour, it was like BAM! Like lightening! I started to become empowered by the number I saw on my paper. I thought to myself, “Yes, now I know I can fix this and become stronger and healthier, and look good while doing it. I can do this!” Change is coming, and I intend to go along with it. ^-^
My question is, what was your reaction to when you first starting realizing how much you were eating and your first reaction to your calorie counting? What motivates you to eat healthier and move more? Isn’t it amazing how easily it is to go overboard when eating?
Thanks so much answering! ^-^
Typo in the title: I meant “Amazed at Calorie Counting for* the first time, Weren’t you shocked?”
Sorry…it bothered the student in me…

It was like ‘WTFFF A SLICE OF BREAD 100 CALORIES? MY CURD CHEESE DESSERT HAS 200 CALORIES??? (well i used to eat like 3 of them for breakfast) and then i thought that eating 7 of those small deserts is what i need to be alive, when i used to snack on them a looot. It just freaked me out and i werent even touching bread or that cheese thing for like 2 months, lol. I was very suprised by figuring out that i was eating high calorie foods a lot. When i started to change my eating habits ‘to more fruits and veggies, less junk and emty food’ i began to feel more full with less calories. Like my cheese desert that weights like 40g is 200 calories worth= so like 4 small apples.
