I'm 14, 5'8, 250 lbs and desperate. For years I've been trying to lose weight and obviously to no avail. Everything I hear that is healthy gets contradicted. I hear exercise is great, but then I'm told you'll only lose 2 pounds a week and it's better to just eat (because the solution to my eating problem is to just eat more, makes perfect sense.) My main problems are this here.1. I don't have any choice over what I eat. My family is really low on money living paycheck to paycheck. They get something and I either eat it or starve. As you can imagine my household members are large too. We often get cheap processed foods because it's all we can afford. The money shortage is also why I can't look for professional health from a doctor.2. I have no way to exercise. I'm not allowed to even go outside because my parents are control freaks and to them walking out the door would be getting shot to death. They never take me anywhere no matter how much I ask. I've tried going to the park, but nope. I'd love a gym membership, but that is out of the question because of the transport and money issue. I've been trying to walk to school (5 min walk) but still no. I'm so sick of being this damn fat. I have to wear a jacket everywhere I go because I'm so ashamed of my hideous body. You can imagine that's very hot and uncomfortable. It's embarrassing when I shop for clothes and they don't even have my size in a men's. I start my freshman year at high school tomorrow, and I just want this weigh to go away ASAP so that I can work on getting a girlfriend and some regular friends.And I know a few jackasses are just gonna put stuff like "oh you're just fat loose the weight or die lardo"or "you sound like a spoiled brat and the only thing your daddy did wrong was not beating you more" but I'm looking for serious help and if you wanna be an ass about it then go ahead. Wouldn't be the first time and defidentally won't be the last.A few things I forgot: I've been living on soda and sweet tea for most of my life. Can't remember the last time I drank water. I hate the taste of it and it makes me nauseous. Is 100% natural fruit juice a healthy alternative to water? I love fruits, especially apples, bananas, and any type of berry (strawberry is my favorite fruit)
How to Lose Weight By Eating Fruits
Recommended Answer:
Maybe try looking up some easy inexpensive healthy recipes and ask your parents if they'd like to give it a try. You could even offer to cook or help cook (it's actually a lot of fun.)Perhaps you could ask your parents if you can walk to school with friends and classmates and text your parents once you reach school to let them know you arrived safely. This is what my parents did with my sibling and I. 100% fruit juice isn't a good alternative to water.You can definitely have an 8 oz glass a day to fulfill your vitamin C requirements, though. If you dislike water, I'd recommend squeezing some lemons and lime into it to add a bit of flavor. You could also try making tea without the sugar (add a bit of honey or Truvia if you want it to taste sweet.) You could also add a splash of fruit juice so it has a hint of juice flavor to it. It's difficult right now, but things will get better. I'd suggest talking to your school nurse about it since it's free and your nurse is a helpful resource. http://www.choosemyplate.gov/ is also a great website to check out. All the best! <3
