    Sorry I'm confused. Are you having trouble losing weight?

    Find something you enjoy doing to take your mind off of everything that is weighing you down. Get active and find friends that you enjoy doing things with. It sounds like you are fixating on all of the negative things in your life which can be overwhelming for anyone. You'll find plenty of wisdom and support here so welcome to MFP.

    It's hard to tell your weight since you didn't specify height but from bmi you would need to be over 7ft to be in a healthy range, I'm assuming your not that tall, sorry if you are and my assumption is wrong!

    Just take each day as it comes, know that one extra day brings you one day closer to brig healthier, even if you're only doing 20 mins exercise, it's better than nothing and you're way ahead than if you weren't trying at all. Try not to get caught up in the bigger picture of thinking it will take forever, that will overwhelm you and you'll lose motivation.

    Just know that you need to do this for you and to live a good and healthy life, don't be sad or upset, it won't change anything, the only person who can change your life is you and you're going in the right direction by just being on this website, so good luck and well done to you.

    If anyone can do it, you can! Xxx

    You can do it, like Alicia said take one day at a time. Every new day is a new opportunity

    Ah. Well then there's the problem! There's nothing you "shouldn't" eat. Just make sure to eat that food in a reasonable portion. No need to beat yourself up because you decided to have a piece of cake at lunch. :smile:

    Of course! Each one of us has had our own struggles with weight loss so we understand how it feels. Just today I decided that an apple fritter would make a great morning snack. lol I'll just make up for it by having a nice healthy dinner.

    You will find tons of support here, as well as the tools and information you need to move forward. I'm also 24 and around 100kg, add me if you want a friend! We can motivate each other. :)

    Don't try to do everything at once. Eat what you normally eat, just less of it. And please, please don't get into the mindset that there are good foods and bad foods because there aren't. Eat in moderation, move more. That's all you need to do right now. Take things slowly. I lost most of my weight without exercising. I added exercise much later.

    It gets too overwhelming if you try to jump in with both feet. And don't listen to your sister. Do this YOUR way. Not HER way.

    Every time you feel the challenge to stay on track remind yourself why you are doing this. Write down a list of reasons you need to be healthier in your life. When you struggle, take that list out and look at it.

    Changing the way we think and feel about food is a long process. You will learn more and more about it as each day unfolds. Yes, it is a challenge. It won't be easy. You will make mistakes. We all do.

    You can do it.

    Add me if you need support. My diet is extremely restrictive so I understand the cravings and what not. I'm finding ways to make the things I want in a healthy way instead of going and getting fries, wings, chipotle. lol. Been going since the beginning of march with my green smoothies for breakfast/lunch and steamed veggies for dinner.

    Take it slow and steady. Losing weight should be a goal, but not the only goal. Eat anything you want, but within your calorie budget.

    You are young and have your whole life ahead of you to do great things! Good luck.

    You CAN do it! Don't give up. Musicandarts is right, listen to what he said. Good luck!

    All the advice that has been posted comes from the heart of people that have also been challenged, and "yes" it is an old cliche "better said than done" but they are right! I just started on my journey recently (notice I call it a journey)... and it is challenging at times...

    But your goal is your goal, whether it's to be healthy, or pain free from body aches that comes from being overweight or from depression, know that you have good-encouraging support from others that are traveling on that same road your on...
    just look to the right or the left and you will see us there... so stay encouraged!
    listen to up lifting music!

    I constantly find myself praying and asking God for his strength during my personal letdowns.

    Someone who writes a post captioned "I am sick of living" either needs urgent psychiatric care or is a drama queen. In either case, pep talks aren't the answer.

    That's a pretty heartless response (I won't say what I'm really thinking because I don't think you could handle it) Maybe she is just looking for support and encouragement.

    Neither is making irresponsible assumptions about people you don't know.

    Dreamsless90 ... make small, attainable goals in all areas of your life, work hard for them, and then *reach* them - and be proud of yourself for what you accomplish. As you get stronger, you will strengthen others, and they'll be so grateful for YOU. xo

    I've been there. Things spiral out of control and it feels like you're swirling down the toilet of life. We'll take a step back, organize and make achievable goals. You can do this, you will do this. I look at this one day at a time and try to make little changes. And most of the above...excellent advice. Best of luck to you!
