How do I keep losing weight?

for years I’ve thought I am really fat. I’m 15 and 5 ft 1 and I weight 123 pounts. I used to weight 133 but I lost ten pounds at camp. I want to keep losing weight but I dont really know how. At camp I had a set schedule of activities and I was doing sports all day. But at home I don’t really have any friends and im not in any sports. I try to go running but it gets really hot outside and im sad without my camp friends. I cant throw up my food. a few months ago I tried but its just really gross. I try to just not eat but I cant go without food. I really want to be happy with the way I look but I dont think I ever can be. There are a lot of things I don’t do because I think im fat. I used to dance but I stopped because I wanted to go to camp. I wont go back because you have to wear leotards and that makes me look fat. And I never want to wear any clothes I like because they make me look fat. Please help me!!!

You’re not fat. If you think you are, then you need to address your mental health and self esteem before addressing anything physical. If you think you are fat when you are not, if you are not doing things you like to do because of it, if you tried going without food, and if you tried throwing up, then you may have or be at risk of having an eating disorder. If you think that may be the case, you should talk to a doctor or therapist immediately.

Dancing is a great way to stay in shape. So if you feel out of shape, I can’t imagine why you would quit dancing! Who cares if you don’t look like a model in a leotard? Most people don’t. You’re letting something stupid run your life. You’re not doing things that you enjoy because of a silly thing like that?

So I think you need to sit down and think about what is really important to you.

In addition to dancing, you should: -Walk -Drink lots of water -Eat about six small meals a day to keep your metabolism going -Eat lots of fruits and vegetables

Hunny, we’re the same height and you’re only 5 lbs heavier! But I know how you feel. I set a calorie plan for myself. No more than 1300 calories a day. Try winsor pilates. It comes on DVD, it’s a 20 minute work-out. =] Or the ab roller! It’s fun ^^
