How can I loose weight?

[Anonymous]

I've lived with this eating disorder for about three years. I'm seventeen,really busy captain of my dance team. Last year I weighed around 100 pounds because I was going through a lot and it kind of just happened, Then, once things got better a year later I found my self at 135 and I freaked out I started looking lumpy, and I just didn't look like me. One of the girls on my dance team said "Hey I'm skinnier then you" and I'm actually really jealous, Currently having some depression problems and I'm a legit loner now days because my boyfriend went through basic in the army and now is doing school in another state, I had a guy at church come up to me and say, "You've been getting meat on your bones haven't ya? and said I've gotton a lot bigger today. I'm a bulimic half the time, (currently weight like 126) and it doesn't work. I have love handles every time I put on shorts or jeans. And I literally just want to cry, I usually only hear negative comments on my body and today I don't think I could eat a thing for the rest of the day because my own mother called me fat today and I feel so guilty about what I've ate today (Biscuit, sand witch, slice of pizza and chips) and I want to know how I can put my weight down. I'm thinking about only eating fruit and yogurt and go vegetarian. I don't know I want to look good for my boyfriend and not be the fat girl on my danceline, in my family or just fat in general. Please help I can't stop crying and I don't want to hear how fat I am anymore. I'm to busy to work out usually. And I usually try to distract my self from eating by doing something but it's not working. I just want to be beautiful and I don't know how to get it back. I'm sorry I have horrible grammar right now, please ignore it. :/

Kinda went through I situation like this about a year ago. As a younger kid I was always active and never was really "fat" but after 3 years at high school, I kinda realized that I had turned really unhealthy and I weighed in at 300lbs. I am currently at 240 and dropping, so anything is possible, at least that's what I taught myself!

The first thing I would recommend is getting yourself out there. You said yourself that you've turned into the loner. so did I. Know how I solved it? I did things, talked to people, and now I am a much different person, have things to look forward to,etc. Losing weight should be to benefit your life and lifestyle, it should be done because you want to legitimately better yourself, not because you want others to like you for being skinny. Losing weight is easy. I started a 60 day run challenge where I run every day no matter what for 2 months, now you may not have to go that extreme, but running 2-4 miles every other day for a couple months will go a long way to getting you back on track. You are not very overweight, so there really isn't that much to be done, pace yourself, better your life, and have fun with it. You are still young, and you should embrace that youth and be happy. I wish I had, but I don't worry about it now. I worry about me, and my life, and how I can better it at each turn in the road.

Good luck, and as far as eating goes, just stay away from fatty foods and fast food. Fruits, veggies, peanut butter on whole wheat, or a flax pita, these are all healthy tasty alternatives.

You need to get some therapy and work on your eating disorder issues, then figure out a healthy diet plan.

What worked for me was a diet of about 1500 calories a day and three 20 minute exercise sessions spaced evenly throughout the day to keep my metabolism up. I lost 55 pounds in 4 months.
