Question

I'm 5'2 I weigh 142 lbs & I'm 17. I've always been overweight and I feel depressed most of the time. I've done diets before and I eat healthy compared to most teens.

dk what to do. I just want to lose 20 pounds so that I can weigh 122 lbs at least. I have huge hips and a big 🍑. I just want to feel confident and happy one day and get to do all things I want to do and be good mentally and spiritually , but my weight does bring me down. If anyone has any tips or diets please comment them down below :)

Answer

I was about your size when I was in grade 10/11. I really felt crappy about myself. Lots of people said I was beautiful and fine the way I was and that I shouldn't focus on my weight or try to lose any. I was healthy but I didn't feel healthy or good about myself. And there is nothing wrong with wanting to lose weight and feel good about your body.

Just keep eating healthy. Cut out pop, sugary foods and eat smaller portion sizes. Start working out. Swimming worked really well for me, but I've also done a lot of running and strength training workouts. There are lots online that you could do at home.

What I would suggest is not focusing on the numbers on the scale. Just focus on the changes you can see. If you're working out you'll build muscle which weighs more than fat. I went down 2 dress sizes which is about 20 pounds, but I actually only lost about 10 pounds. Just woke on feeling better about your body. Yes you're beautiful the way you are, but if you feel like you're not at your best then do something about it. As long as you stay healthy losing weight is not a bad thing.

Its all about healthy diet and active lifestyle. 60% to 70% diet and 30% to 40% active lifestyle.

A healthy human diet is mostly vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. Grains re important too, dairy less so and meat is not really necessary. You don't have to go vegetarian but less meat and try to eat mostly white meats and seafood. Steak every now and then is not going to kill you. 
Also, drink lots of water. Your body needs water. I have a gallon milk jug that I fill with water and drink every day.

Working out is good, it helps build strength, endurance and muscle, but the real benefit comes from just being active. Like, I walk a lot, I unload rick and stock for work, I swim, climb around the rocks at the beach, and I have a toddler to play with. I don't get to sit much and my normal activities work my muscles. Not counting my workouts my normal activity burns over 3000 calories a day.

And support is important too. Fitness is more fun with friends, so maybe ask people in your circle if they want to get healthy with you. Even your friends that already look good may have fitness goals they think about but have trouble motivating themselves to work on.

Answer

I personally think you are fine the way you are. I wish girls weren't so focused on physical appearance. You got a booty, that's not bad. You look healthy, i think if you lose anything it shouldn't be more than like 10 lbs if you really want to. I just wanted to throw out there that I think you're fine the way you are.
