babybottlepop007 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Hi- Well I dont know what kind of weight los program youre looking for, but all i know is this. Dont go bullimic or anorexic. Sure you can get skinny by starving yourself, but its unhealthy and in most cases, leads to death. I dont want that to happen to you...The best choice may just be to start a diligent excersize routine or program. You'll feel better about yourself, and youll be skinnier. I hope this kinda helped Babybottlepop007 Link to comment
Vendetta002 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 one thing you may want to try, is substituting something for your eating habit. go play a game, go for a walk, go call a friend on the phone..something to teach your mind not to instantly use food as an escape. your best bet, would be to replace it with something healty, such as a walk. also, not many people are aware of this, but the part of your brain that tells you you're hungry, is right next to the part that tells you you're thirsty. in a lot of cases, people will instantly reach for food, when they really arent hungry, just thirsty. so, next time you feel the craving for food, try drinking a glass or two of water and waiting to see if that fixes the feeling. if not, have a snack, lol. dont give up, it may take a while, but its all worth it in the end.

bzborow1 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I think you should start just trying to eat healthy and exercise to start. Start doing more outdoors activities, specially since its summer!!!! You could jog 10 mins a day or something. I would suggest that, and then maybe after a while, once you feel comfortable start getting into more of a program. Don't worry so much about the weight, just work on getting yourself healthy and the rest will fall where it does!!!!! Link to comment
wishfulthinker Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 ok- well lets see if this helps out--about a year and a half ago-- i used to weigh about 135-- pretty good considering i'm a tall girl-- i had guys after me left and right-- as soon as i got with my boyfriend i started gaining the weight-- i gained more than 100 pounds-- but what i failed to realize was that i was eating due to being unhappy--if i was sad i would eat; if i was angry i would do the same.. and the cycle never stopped-- it got so bad that it got to the point where my boyfriend didn't even want to touch me or have any type of sexual encounter with me.. as a result i would eat .. it was just a cycle, i was eating because i wasn't getting any..soon enough it had to stop-- it did-- just a little while ago. but i feel better, since there is no one there to tell me how unattractive i am... i dont over eat anymore..i started exercising, which you should include in your diet-- believe me this is the key-- and i started watching what i eat-- i'm down to 195-- i know i've still got a long way to go, but i'm sure i'll do it--you just need to get to the bottom of this-- and see what the real problem is-- hope this helps--wishfulthinker Link to comment
