if your friends say you're not fat then you are probably not. When they say look at me, why don't you actually look at them to see if you are fat. I have friends who are REALLY thin and think they're fat and I get really annoyed with them cos I try to lose weight with no luck and they're saying they're fat and they're like 3 or 4 clothes sizes smaller than me. You are only 11 so you might get a bit of puppy fat but it is not unhealthy. As long as you eat right and exercise then you should be ok. You don't need to pay loads of money to play sports to keep fit. Do things like walk to school if you can. Go for a jog around your neighbourhood or something.

Have you ever heard of self esteem. Well that seems to be what you are lacking. You shouldn't be worried about what's going on around you and what someone else is thinking but what you feel. If you feel your overweight YOU need to do something about it. You need to be better for you to become a better person. AND PLEASE FOR GOD SAKE'S YOU DO NOT NEED A MAN! If anything you need to leave them alone for awhile and do for you. Work on you. From a ladi that's been there. Care about home first then invite someone to visit.

I have a two friends that sound like you.  They have been going to weight watchers the last couple of months and look fabulous.  I think the support they get has been the difference and since your mom is no longer with you, they may be the motivation that you need.  Give them a try and get exercising.  By the way, it should not be taking over your life.  Happiness should.  Good Luck!

The first thing you need is family support. As a kid you did not do this to yourself..........the food and money was provided to you by your caregivers. If they are also morbidly obese you may find it necessary to find some help outside of your family. \n\nThe TV needs to be turned off or given away......no video games or computer.........except as a "reward" for being outside walking or otherwise exercising.\n\nThe fridge and the pantry need to be cleaned and SCRUBBED till there are no more places to hide unhealthy food choices. It could be quite an adventure if the whole family pitched in and lost weight together......but you will find that in life, sooner or later, we alllll must accept the consequences of our own behaviors and life-style choices.\n\nI know you'll do well and you have a whole summer to get a head-start before school starts next fall.\n\nIf your family can't help..... then find a close friend to challenge you and maybe you can compete with them in something THEY need to accomplish this summer.\n\nFriendly competition can get a WHOLE lot done and it'll be easier if you have someone to talk with.\n\n\nGood luck............make the changes for the long-haul and you'll find yourself more fit by the time you are in high-school.

Packet of crisps.\n\nsnack:  Biscuits\n\ntea: nice lasangne.\n\n                           or.\nBreakfast: Yougart drink\n\nLunch:  drie slad\n\nsnacK: cardboard cereal bar.\n\ntea:  salad>?\n\n\nmmmmm.......\n\nDont copy your friends. You are different. You are perfect!

You are a kid, that is on your side, go out and run around outside, grab your bike, play some basket ball.\n\nI understand about what do you mean by eating healthy and needing a weight loss buddy.\n\nAsk your Mom to take you to your pediatrician and see if they sponsor and a kids Weight Watchers meeting or see if your local Weight Watchers has a kids only meeting. \n\nWeight Watchers is great, they will NEVER tell you not to eat something, you can eat Pizza and Ice Cream.  The key is how much and how often you eat it.  They will teach you the way to eat healthy and how to cook healthy.\n\nDoes your Mom cook healthy, maybe for the summer you can take over the cooking ( I am sure that she will be happy for the break) and  you can cook healthy and lose weight and even make your own family healthier.\n\nAnd comes the end of the summer when you need smaller clothing, if she see how mature and dedicated you have been through the summer, she will probably be happy to buy it for you.\n\nGood luck

I know how you feel.  I'm 18, not too much older than you and I just used to feel like a failure everytime I ate because I was just so caught up in my body image and felt that eatin made me fat. If I became fat, no one would like me.  It's not weird to feel self conscious about your body image, you just need to know how to control your eating habits.  Eat when you are hungry, you should always eat 3 meals a day and snacks inbetween.  Never skip out on meals because when you starve yourself and then you finally do eat, your body will hold onto the fat and store it because it doesn't know when it'll be fed again.  So work out also. A walk around the block is always great.

You actually should consider gaining a bit of weight, you are very thin for your height. Don't let dang TV and magazine ads get to you and become anorexic, for pete sake how can you even ask a question like this with your weight? Don't you have a mirror? It concerns me that you even asked this question to begin with. If you seriously think you are fat talk to your parents or counselor please. If you were looking for compliments get a life.

You have an obsessive thing about your weight.  Somewhere in your life your weight became very important to you and this is not unusual these days.  I have the same issue.  If I am overweight the entire world is in chaos because everything revolves around my weight.  I was obese as a child and my parents were unhappy about it.  I was teased and so I was unhappy about it.  I just want everyone to be happy so I diet and exercise constantly. I have even been anorexic twice.  So the best thing to do is figure out what the real reason is for your obsession and teach yourself that it doesn't really matter as musch as you think it does.  Good luck!  You are not alone in this!

Ok, first of all don't panic. You are not overweight or anything, like people said you are maybe only 5lb over your 'ideal' weight. You are only 14 and still growing, the last thing you want to do is start dieting. You just need to reduce snacks and eat more fresh fruit/vegetables and try to have at least three portions of oiliy fish a week like salmon, tuna or mackeral. Get involved with sports and you will soon notice the baby fat dropping off. Please try not to worry and start telling yourself that you are beautiful every day. Take care : )

No, I don't think you are overweight.  At your height you could weigh considerably more than you do, and still not be considered overweight.  Talk to your parents about how you feel.\n\nI know it is hard at your age to think this way, but try to focus on health and nutrition and don't worry about the weight.  If you are fairly active and eat nutritiously, weight will take care of itself.\n\nEat well.  Stay active.  Go for lots of walks with your friends. Drink lots of water.  Cut out junk food, fast food, and soda.\n\nThis site might help you.

I think you just needed to vent a little! You should be proud of how you look no matter what size you are. As long as you're healthy and happy, that is all that matters. Don't worry about what other people think.
