Question

So I'm a 17 year old girl who's starting her last year of high school. What am I going to do when I get out? Have no fucking clue😂! But I do know that I want to start a healthy diet and start to loose weight. As to my own knowledge I'm 5'2 and 140 lbs. My doctor tells me I'm a little above what I need to be according to the "Graph" they go by. My mother on the other hand makes me feel horrible about my body.  Saying i shouldn't eat this or that, because I'll get to fat. At first I thought my doctor and mother were fucking retarded. But now I understand. I don't feel healthy so I guess I'm not healthy at all. So I've been cutting down on eating anything. I only eat a little but a day. At most I eat two meals a day. Lunch and Dinner. No snacks or nothing. Have I've seen any progres? Fuck no. It makes me sad, because I want to make my mother proud, but when I try, she shuts me down. I don't know what to do. Do i need to work out more or do u need another diet plan? Please help. Body image below

Answer

You’re beautiful the way you are. If you want s healthy life style just eat healthier and try to excersie more. I struggled with my body image and I had a boyfriend that would call me fat when I was a size two and I felt awful about myself and had no self esteem but now I’m 27 now and a size 8 but I’m healthy...I eat right most of the time and I exercise but most of all I don’t care what other people think of how I look. Just do what ya best for you and love yourself.

Answer

Your current eating habits are incredibly unhealthy. You’re meant to be eating three meals and at least two snacks every single day. Moderate exercise at least 3-4 times a week. There are better ways to lose weight and maintain it, and eating so little is not the way to do it.

Answer

Don’t let other people make you feel not confident. Your weight looks very proportional for your height. Listen to your doctor. Btw it’s not how much you eat, it’s what you eat.

Answer

First of all, those dr graphs are bullshit. My mom worked in a pediatricians office for years and still to this day says so. My husband is a bodybuilder and going by BMI is bullshit. 
Scale numbers DO NOT MATTER (unless you’re like morbidly obese, which obviously you are nowhere NEAR that). 
Anyways. Meal prep. Look up meal prep recipes. It’s so easy, it’ll make eating healthy easier and less of a hassle. I wish I would’ve known about that when I was your age (I’m now 26). I was always in decent shape but in high school and a few years after I didn’t know how to eat healthy. 
Start lifting weights and light cardio. Don’t belong to a gym or not comfortable with it? Do at home workouts. Check out fitness blender.com they have GREAT free workout videos you can do at home. 
Don’t take diet pills that look like obvious scams (supplements are different). 
I took diet pills back then and well, one day I ended up fainting and having a heart monitor put on because I wasn’t eating enough and was taking in too much caffeine and whatever else was in them. 
Having a friend to workout with helps too, guy or girl. Great for motivation and just all around support to continue a healthy lifestyle. It’s so much easier than people think. 
I get it can be hard at times (I of all people know since I had a baby and had to change my mindset to help me get back in shape) but honest to god, if I can do it... you can too! Use that young teenage energy lol. You got this girlfriend! 
And don’t let your moms negativity impact you, I’ve been there too which was part of what cause me in the past to have bad eating habits and so on. 
Just eat right and get jacked! ❤️

Answer

I would break my own arm to look like you! You’re beautiful! Don’t let your mother bring you down! They’re no reason to diet horribly, but if YOU want to live a more health and strong lifestyle then do it! Do whatever makes you happy, but do it for you and no one else. Do it to be more strong and healthy, not to be thin and more “beautiful”

Answer

I used to be obsessive over my weight and stuff so I’m very familiar with the BMI chart so as I was reading this I was like oh 140 is a little heavy for 5’2 but then I looked at your picture and honestly you look fucking fine. You don’t look obese or unhealthy or anything, just normal. Just because you aren’t super model thin doesn’t mean you’re “fat” Also your mother sounds horrible. It’s one thing to encourage healthy eating, it’s another to tell you that you can’t have something because you’re fat 🙄. But anyway if you don’t feel healthy then that’s you. If you want to lose weight then you go for it! But make sure you’re losing weight for you and not because of a social standard or people telling you that you need to.

Answer

Tell ur dr how you are feeling. I think you look perfectly healthy but if ur worried about being healthy don't cut food back! I meet w a nutritionist every week and she said that eating small meals 6 times a day boosts ur metabolism more than 2 meals a day. Focus on what makes you feel the best, not what people say about ur weight.

Answer

MUSCLE IS HEAVIER THAT FAT! You look fine x

Answer

Okay. I’m also 5’2 and have been told I’m over weight (I’m 145lbs) . My mother is also very vocal about my body image and can be pretty discouraging. Here’s what I’ve done:
- eat continuously throughout the day. This will help speed up your metabolism. I’m talking almonds, trail mix, cherries, frozen grapes, granola.... anything with protein or antioxidants. Food isn’t the enemy. Please do not think that eating too much is bad for you. It’s really the opposite. It’s better for you. Since you say you only eat 2x a day, establish a good breakfast routine and focus on eating a fulfilling early dinner. The healthy snacks will eventually lead to a third meal. Even if it’s just oatmeal or a protein shake. 
- buy a CUTE ass water bottle. I got a teal stainless steel one with a pretty flower design from Target and refill it 3x a day. Don’t worry about drinking 8 glasses of water a day, that’s all bullshit. Just drink as often as you can. 
- try a multivitamin. Good for health and will give you the extra boost for this next step:
Walking. Cardio will help you burn fat and help you lose inches. Try walking a good mile a day. I wake up at 5:30 every morning and walk/run around my area. I’ve moved up to doing 4 miles a day! It’ll be tough the first week, but give yourself a rest day every 6 days. (Mine is every Saturday) 
- for right now, for peace of mind, do not pay attention to your number weight. The goal is to lose fat and eventually gain muscle. Focusing on your number weight will make you feel stuck, when in reality, you’ve done so much. 
Ive maybe lost 5 lbs, but I look so much thinner to the point where my coworkers have noticed and complimented me. You got this. You’re so young and deserve to be happy. Take pride in your body 🌻
