Hello everyone... hope your having a good day...
Well... I just need to get something off my chest. So here it goes...
About 6-7 Month's ago, my parent's were divorced, and I was living with my dad. Now my dad, he alway's asked me to do stupid things because he was a complete lazy ***. He'd be like, "Oh go get me a beer, or get me a pick of cigarettes outta my car, or bring in a new pack of beer from the car and get me one"
Well one day I was sick and tired of his bull**** and I started in with him, and he slapped me (Yes, laugh now and get it out of your system), so I slapped him back and he just started wailing down on me for about 2 minutes and would not stop, and when he finally did he told me to get the hell out of the house without my shoes on, so I had to go sleep in the PARK for the night.
Well, It kind of got back to normal after that, and about 1 month later me and my brother got into a little fight, and he started flipping out at us. I started in with him again and he then started taunting me like "Oh come on, feeling froggy you little *****, come on then, go and punch me". So I did, and had I known better, I would not have stopped there, but me being a fool, did not, and he started wailing on me again, for about 3 minutes.
It was after this second attack that I sought out help, and my mom decided to move to the town we were living in so I could get out of there. So I've currently been living with my mom for the past 5 months or so, and I've been enjoying it, but more or so down to the point.
When I was living with my dad, there was hardly any food in the house, so I never gained a lot of weight, but I've always been big, so I weighed about 180~ pounds. But since I've been living with my mom, I've been eating but I think I may have been eating a little bit too much. I now stand at 240 pounds, as I just stepped on a scale in 5 months, and I am extremely depressed about it.
Now, Im 14, I weigh 240 pounds, and there's no gym around here. Is there anyway any of you guys could possibly give me some advice as to lose some of this damned lard before I do something I'm going to regret?
Oh well... sorry that this is so long, I just had to get this off my chest and tell someone. Thanks to anyone who can help me with my problem.

hmmm i think probably the best course of action would be running a mile every day, well not run it completely everyday, you can walk then build up, but for me (also fourteen but a guy) it really can cut down any unwanted fat, and an important thing to do that i always make sure to do, just eat until your full, dont eat any more even if theres more on your plate/it tastes good cause americans have the bad habit of doing both of those, i wish you good luck and i hope things will be much better at your moms.

Kool69 makes some good points.
However, I disagree just a tad on one point. He mentioned eating until you're fool. I disagree. I believe you should only eat what you need to so that you can feel satisfied. Not necessarily full, but no longer hungry. This is assuming you don't eat complete crap
.
If you're not a big fan of running, think about cycling. It's a non-impact sport, that's good for cardio as well as endurance. For the record, I mean road cycling, not leisurely biking.
Best of luck! :thumbsup:

thats what i meant lol, full as in your no longer hungry, not full after youve had a big thanksgiving dinner full when your stomach starts hurting 10 minutes after youre "done", but yea you put it in better words than me =D

Arewyn: I'm sorry about your situation, and you eating much may have something to do with the past. Don't let it get to you tho.
The only way to loose weight is to eat less. Sorry to say it, but that's a hardlearned fact I've experience myself. I weighted around 250 pounds when I was 20 and lost around 80 of them, mainly by reviewing the food I digested. The best course of action is to use a weight to measure your weight once every week (I did the same) and have someone other than yourself write down your weight. This could be your doctor (if you have one) or a friend, or even in here. Just someone other than you and other than your family. This too will pace you in the progress. Good luck with it. Don't expect any results in the first month though.... it's tough and it takes time. You will succeed if you just stick to the plan.
Let me know what you decide.

Hi all. I've been away from the forums for some days now. Haven't really had time to play or post lately
Today was my first work day in 4 days and man it was nice to run to work. In the days of christmas I've ate like a rabid horse, so now I need to workout a bit. It was really nice weather this morning. A thin layer of frost covered everything an a white fog loomed in hte distance. The sun made everything golden and shiny, and overhead there was blue skies. A beautiful day, and a beautiful run to work. Made me wanna call in sick and just run all day looking at mother nature...
I'm very tired however, since I didn't get much sleep yesterday. Gotta go to bed early tonight, but perhaps I'll have a chance to play some D2 or even D1 later... could be nice. Tomorrow I'm gonna watch Blade 3 - trinity in the theater. Any comments?

Hey Arewyn,
I glad you're away from what sounds like a rather destructive situation with your dad, and I'm definately not laughing. It's undersatandable that you've put on weight after an experience like that, at 14 you shoud not have to deal with feelings and emotions that are overwhelming for most adults. If you were older and had gone through that then it would have been something alot worse than food that you'd have turned too. My sugestion is to talk to your mum about what happened at your dads and then talk about your weight to her, failing that talk to an adult you trust about the situation (guidance councellor at school perhaps). I'm not trying to sound condesending, but you need to get to the bottom of your feelings before you do 'do someting you regret'.
I think that we would be remiss in giving you advice on loosing weight without considering 'why' you've put it on. losing weight is hard when you are depressed, it's a vicious circle (I've been there, although with alcohol not food). Start small, give yourself a goal, maybe to walk for 30 minutes every second day, most of all talk to someone about your progress - it's much easier when you have someone to help you keep motivated.
I hope things work out for you, it often helps to talk to strangers about your problems and we are always around :thumbsup:

I did it Grogs, even without understanding why I gained weight. I also had childhood trouble, although not nearly as harsh as Arewyns. It's not that hard once you get in the cycle. You just need to see the results before you gain confidence in yourself. But the results won't show easily.
