I need some more help...??
Question: Ok I finally want to be a confident person! I like school but I hate how I look because I found out I am overweight a bit and I hate my horribly poofy, curly,thick hair. I wanna lose about 18-20 pounds by Thanksgiving or so, but Is dieting not safe? I am 13 years of age. I make straight A grades and for once in my life i want to feel pretty. What about clothes?????
Answers: You are awesome already! You wrote your question clearly and concisely! Perfect spelling! You are already centuries ahead of others your age. But that isn't what you wanted to hear, huh?
OK. In order to lose weight, you would have to eat fewer calories than your energy level requires. Get a little notebook and write down everything you eat right before or after you eat it. Be honest. Go to calorieking.com and search their free database for how many calories you have eaten. Do this for a week and you will realize if you are eating unnecessary calories. Try to find things that taste good but cost too many calories. Hint: Fruit and veggies have way fewer calories, and are full of vitamins.
If you are drinking soda, stop NOW! Soda is full of sugar and calories. A can of Coke has 143 calories. Orange Fanta = 164 calories. Water = 0 calories!
Also, coffee drinks! A grande Mocha Frap = 250 calories!
Get the picture? You will lose more weight more consistently if you just eat nutritionally dense foods. More importantly, that is how you KEEP it off...that is how grownups who are thin and fit stay that way.
Oh, yeah...the fit part. Can you walk your dog? No dog? Can you grab a friend and go for a walk each evening after dinner? Everyone says we should go do something active 30 minutes/day.
Regarding your hair...can you ask you mom/dad to let you get a haircut? Maybe you can blow dry and curl/iron it smooth? Cut out magazine pix of girls who has hair you want, and take it to a stylist one time. Let him/her cut it and show you how to style it.
What about clothes? What are they wearing that you like?
If you have the patience, check out the Goodwill/Salvation Army stores. You have to weed through a lot of junk, but sometimes a jewel that fits is in there for you.
First thing to do, is feel good about yourself for what and who you are, not how you look. You are a straight A student... good start!!!! I was overweight, big time, until my 20s, I thought I was ugly, no one liked me, and pretty much a loser. I went to my 10 year high school class reunion and found out I was very well liked in school. Everyone I thought hated me talked to me like an old pal and how much they admired me because I was smart.
Don't get me wrong, losing weight is a great goal, and I wish you well at it, but that is not all there is about confidence. I still didn't feel confident when I lost the weight and was heading towards 30. I met my wife, and she showed me that I had plenty to be confident about, I was really worth something. She showed my all my strengths and my value. I'm 50 now, and still not overweight, well, not really ;), and still feel good about myself.
If you want to lose weight, talk to you parents and see a doctor, some diets are safe but others, especially the fad diets can be dangerous.
Good luck, I've been there and know exactly how you feel....
