mine was wen i was 6 and my granny called me the fat grandchield....im now 14 and she still calls me the fat one, lokking back on it now, it kinda makes me laghf but i do think would i be alot more confadent with my body and have higher self asteem if she had't of said such a thing
My first experience with a diet, might not have been a good one. I was about 20 popping dexatrim pills, basically made you not want to eat. It was good for quick fix but years later know that isn't healthy. I'm 33 now.
I am 20, about to be 21 in three months, and i can't remember the last time i was happy with my weight. Its such a common theme in my house, my mom competes with me for lowest weight and my dad won't go a day without commenting about my food or figure. Once in high school I became obsessed. Needless to say got a little sick, gained the weight i needed back for college and feel like I'm back a ground zero. I am lost in this world of numbers, scales, food portions, and body image.
I never wanted to go back to the day camp but my parents made me. Needless to say, I have been overweight more than 100 lbs most of my life. I am just the past year have decided to really try to get a hold of it.
The first time I really realized that omg im fat was during day camp one summer I must have been like7 years old. We were on the beach and right before the sand there was a huge step from the sidewalk to the sand. jumping down to the sand was no problem but getting up the step was. So the day camp leaders were guys and were picking some of us up to the sidewalk I was forced to ask him to help me and he made such a mean face like damn and struggled gettin me up. I was soo embarassed.
I had to confront my weight when I entered the Police College. I knew I would never get pasted all the fitness tests. I was 25 kg overweight. Everybody at the college thought I was a write off and that I'd never make it. My dream for 15 years was to become a cop. I studied policing at University. At the Police college I had to do my own training (as there was no-one to help me train). Everyday I did push ups, abs, jogged, weights & walked everywhere. I passed the fitness tests - 25kg & graduate
I started obsessing about my weight in kindergarten. I realized that I was not the thin girl but a chunky girl. The thin girls were more popular. I also remember around kindergarten/1st grade comparing weights with other girls and feeling inferior when I was bigger than some of the other girls.
I was close to thirty and my sister had taken a picture of me sitting, wearing a big sweater. I picked the piture up and looked at it and I couldn't recognize the person as myself. I got a a scale and saw that I was a little over 310lbs. At 5'6" that was not good. So I joined the "Y" and have kept my weight at 200lb or lower ever since.
As much as I'd love to tell a profound story of how I dealt w weight issues growing up, I really can't. Growing up I was naturally active and hyper, so weight was never an issue. It wasn't until after hs where I started gaining a lot of weight w my current eating habits. I had to dig deep to rly find that motivation to make the conscious decision to exercise and eat right. I remember buying myself expensive sneakers and that was my motivation right there. This money better not go to waste! :)
I remember when I was in 7th grade and this creepy old man , a "friend of the family" told me one day AT CHURCH MIND YOU, that my hips were "comming in nicely, he he"....like I said he was mad creepy. Around that time I started to wear big oversized T-shirts which I made sure covered my butt because I was so embarassed about my new curves. Which looking back on it, weren't even that huge. My ass just grew before the rest of my body could catch up.
I never worried about my weight until I had my son and became overweight. I cannot lose enough, no matter how much I lose, it's always 5lbs more to go. The thought of being overweight again controls what I eat, where I go, who I talk to, nearly everything I do is to reach my next goal. I often wonder if I'll ever feel good about my body. Happiness to me is being thin, I'd rather be thin and hungry than happy and fat.
I remember in school, grade 2, I was maybe 11 or 12. I've always been a very tall girl and also overweight all my life. Well, at that time I weighed around 60kg (about 132lbs) and we had a health-day at school which included a weigh-in. In front of the class. And I didn't think much of it, so I got on the scale and they read my weight and I can still remember one kid in my class saying: "Wow, she weighs more than my mother." It was horrible.
i was standing in the lunch at school when i was in 8th grade. one of my grade school friends was infront of me and showed this girl a class picture of us in 5th grade. she pointed at me and laughed "ha, theres that fat ugly girl sarah. she was fat even then. hahahah." not only did i feel bad about myself at that time but my friend didn't even defend, but she did show this mean girl i was standing behind them.
In fourth grade I started developing breasts. However to myself and my peers they were not breasts but fat and I began to be aware of other parts of my body that were not stick thin.
When I was a kid, not even a teen, I was graduating from the 6 grade and I had the worst elementary "prom" ever. I was the oldest one because I had double my grade 4 because my brother pass away was yet more developped then the other grades 6 because I was 14 and they were 12-13. I had curves, they didn't as much, I felt fat. I yet developped an eating disorder 2 years after that. I'm 5'4" and 125 lbs. Which is healthy, yet, I still don't see it. Please, I need this book.
I remember it was right about 6th grade when my body started to change and I seemed to have more baby fat then other girls. I bought 17 magazine all the time and thought I will never look like those girls. I have had to watch my diet it seems like my whole life. Diet and exercise are the key I just can't seem to find the time or energy since my last child was born.
I remember being very young when my mom told me to watch what I eat. I've always been a healthy normal weight and a very active kid but she had/has this obsession with how people look on the outside, especially her own family, so it's been part of me for quite some time. My appearance wasn't a problem but the inner struggle was ingrained in me from a young age b/c of her obsession. It's actually pretty annoying. I did gain weight in college and now at 23 (after) have lost most of it. 20-25 left
For most of my life ive been overweight and i wish i wasnt but wishing wont get you anywhere...so im starting to try and lose weight i played football for my school and that taught me alot about working out. afterwards i started lifting weights. i got stronger and toned up some but im still big. im 5'11 and 260ish pounds. this is not healthy i know and im striving to change my life around trying to work out stop eating the wrong foods and stuff. I hope i do. your videos have helped me out.
I was always superskinny and was used hearing "wow, you're so lucky!" I didn't like being so thin, but I enjoyed eating whatever & whenever I wanted. But after sophomore year, friends & even teachers started telling me "wow [my name] u gained weight!" Ofcourse they didn't mean it in a bad way because I was so thin before but I felt like I lost that "security blanket". & my dad even started to tell me to stop eating! Since then I've gained weight as I got older & would step on the scale 20x a day
In middle school I became depressed and used food as a way to be happy. I ate all the wrong things and I gained so much weight but I never thought anything of it until I went into high school. Compared to the girls in high school I was obese and it did make me depressed but I chose to fight it. I joined a gym and lost almost 30 pounds. I'm still losing weight but I've hit the plateau so it's become harder and every pound is an accomplish. This book would help me focus on my goal. Thank you.
Dear diethealth, My first memory of trying to lose weight was surprisingly in Middle School! I was NOT fat at all, I was very thin! The peer pressure and media really got to me. Once I entered High School I had a really traumatic event in my life that I turned to food for comfort. I became an emotional eater, ate when I wasn't even hungry and became a victim of binge eating. I'm 19, getting into the habit of a healthier lifestyle focusing on exercise and diet! I would love this book!!! Thanks!
alright, i Just recently turned 16, and i'm already striving to loose weight that i dont need to. I started experiencing weight issues in 4th grade when i was 9. Being called a fat ass and names at that young really scars you. Now, i've lost weight but im struggling with my self image, having immense moments of bashing myself on how i look, love handles, legs and all. it doesnt help being Five foot either. And i just need to get over this. and its a hard journey, even at a teenage year.
When I was 12, my PE coach came up to me and commented on my weight gain. That started a vicious cycle of binging and purging followed by periods of restriction. I eventually learned you'd have to incorporate exercise in your regimen as well as eat healthy in order to lose/maintain weight. I'm happy to say people always comment on my strong and lean frame. I'm proof you don't have to resort to unhealthy ways to achieve the body you want. If only my coach can see me now!
I've always had a problem with my "weight" ever since I can remember; but I'm not overweight. I've just always had a problem with my abdominal. I've retained baby-fat on my lower abdominal (I call it "my pooch"), which REFUSES to go away. I've done everything- dieting to pilates to long sessions at the gym.
I've given up on losing 'my pooch', only because I've come to accept & appreciate it. I realize now I don't want an absolute FLAT stomach, my pooch gives my tummy a bit of character :]
I was in the 10th grade when I came home with my A+ report card in sciences my aunt told me that I should do something about my weight, I was WHAT THE ?? HMMM I am over weight ?
But when I went to university I gained even more weight and now I am trying to loose and just totally transform my body.
When I was 14 at the end of 9th grade I was about 5'8 and 200 lbs and that was the last straw, I had to loose weight so I lost 50 pounds that summer and was thin and happy. :)
I was really active as a kid until my neighbors (and good friends) moved away when I was 13. Shortly after my mom gave birth to my sister--my only sibling. I didn't get out much, and my friends who kept me active with sports had moved. I just ate the loneliness away. I went from a healthy 110 lbs to 150 lbs. I thankfully lost the weight when I went to high school. I didn't have any issues for many years, till now. Married with a desk job--0 exercise and lots of guy food--bad combination.
When i was younger i was really sickly skinny. I couldnt taste food, so therefore i wouldnt eat much of it. I got my tonsils and adnoids out 3rd grade and for the next two years gained a decent amout of weight. I felt so fat and i used to tell my mom i was eating "healthy" when i really wasnt eating much of anything.
When I turned 8 my body started getting round. My grandma used to tease me by calling me her little butterball, and that I needed to be careful at thanksgiving so that I didn't get cooked.
I started on diets when i was 9 at the doctors and have been on them since (thats early 18years)! Still finding the one to end all of the trails, have been successfull before but put it back on. I am soo much happier when slimmer than fat.
The worst thing that has happened is that three children from school have asked if i pregrant as i have a big tummy, i had to explain that i was fat not pregrant!
My first big issue with weight was in the 5th grade. My grandpa had a brain anurism paralizing him on his right side and making him not know who we were. Then my mother got sick with 2 ulcers leaving her out of work for 6 months. I ate to help to cope...ALOT. I was the biggest girl in my class. It was aweful!
In sixth grade (heh imagine that), I began worry about my weight. Everyday after school I would come home and eat some chocolates or wake up in the middle of the night and eat candy. It got to me and I finally realized I was letting myself get out of control. Now I do my best to eat things in moderation and workout consistently. So glad I didn't let sweets take over my life, haha.
i was always a "big boned" person. My dads side of the family was the big boned people, big cookers, big eaters. I was 275 pounds when i first entered middle school and weight has been a big issue for me since no matter what i try everything seems to fail me, i have a struggle to lose weight and im still over 200
When my dad died, food became my best friend. I ate when I was sad, plus the normal eating of life, and I gained so much! Now, I've been trying to get it off for about a year, exercising, not taking like a diet plan from tv, but just watching the amount of calories and trans fat in food, but nothing seems to help. I'm 16, possible soon to graduate, and I want to look my best for senior year! ~
I was concerned about my weight when i was around 7. I took dance class and all the girls in my class were so skinny and my legs were much bigger than theirs. We had to wear leotards which showed off our legs and i was always so self conscious about going to dance because i wanted my legs to be as skinny as the rest of the girls. Since then I had always worried about my weight. Usually it doesnt start that young but i guess i was just unfortunate
What memories this Q has brought! My earliest memory of being body conscious was at age ten, my sister called me "walking skeleton." I know this departs from the typical overweight related teasing that is so common when young, but at that time I remember feeling very inadequate. I'd never before even THOUGHT of my/other people's weight. I realize now, I was NOT too thin, it was my sister who was uncomfortable with her own weight. Still, it was the beginning of a body conscious life for me.
It started when I was in junior high my mother always told me that I was too fat for. She always compare me to herself and my two younger sister because they fit the "prefect image". Saying that no one would ever love me because how fat I was. As years past I meant my husband and a few months later I was pregnant and at the end of my pregnancies I weight 200lbs the biggest I ever been. I started to workout 5 times a day and watch what I ate but, my husband was and still my biggest support.
I remember starting to notice my thighs when I was about 4th grade. I was a gymnast my entire life and never felt like I was as small as other gymnast. Looking at pictures, I WAS as small as them.
When I was 16 I went through a very depressing phase of bulimia. I remember gaining and losing weight constantly. It got the the point everyone was commenting on my drastic weight loss.
I now am much more educated about diet and exercise and still struggle. I am on the way to a healthy me.
When I was around nine years old I was in ballet class. I wasn't really large for my age just a little on the heavy side. However one of the other girls in my class said I was too fat to be in ballet and I should leave because I was making them look bad. It hurt me but I got over it. Unfortunately I always stayed a little on the heavy side. In the past year I've put on about ten pounds reaching an all time high. In the past few weeks I've lost about five pounds and hope to keep going.
Great book.I have been dealing with my weight even before I had an issue.I remeber being 10-20 pounds under weight all my life and always trying to be thin.When I was 20 a developed a thyroid problem and went from under weight to obese and have been trying to lose the 100 pounds that I have gained 6 years ago.I have lost weight in this battle 30-40 pounds but they never seem to stay off untill I realized that I have a family that also makes it hard for me.Now that I know that I cook accordingly.
I've always been thicker than my peers. In 5th grade I started doing the 3 day diet w/ my mom (I was eating grapefruit & saltines while kids ate Lunchables!)! In 6th grade we had a pizza party-I ate 3 slices & my friends made me feel guilty & fat for it & I cried to my teacher. I've been battling w/ my weight/body image ever since->13 years later. Thanks for this opportunity! :)
When I was in the 6th grade I went for a routine check up and the doc said well she is 6 pounds over weight according to the chart not a big deal but you may want to address it now before it gets out of control. That is the first memory of the # on the scale that I had
When i was in grade 7 i wanted to loss my baby fat so bad that i stopped eating lunch, i ended up fainting in class and being taken to the hospital. after that i started eating and i was okay. i always hated the way my body looked but i still thought i was beautiful. i recently gained 25 pounds. it shows.i can't wear pants i bought in april. i'm working very hard to lose the weight and thats why i'm subscribed to this channel. i am 17 and i want to be in my best shape possible for my grad year.
I was in 5th grade, 5' 4", and 125 pounds; I wore a woman's size 10 jeans.
I dreaded the annual spring ritual of height and weight measurement conducted in front of the class by the teacher. I recall being called up to the front of the class, one pupil at a time, and stepping on the scale while my classmates watched and hypothesized about my weight and whether or not I was the fattest in the class.
At least for what feels like most of my life, most of my memories though
I remember i wrote in a journal "no more fat girl" and tried to eat better...but it didnt work, that was in elementary school and it wasnt until 9th grade i started loosing weight! (idk i just ate less sweets!) and now im no longer that fat! But I was really fat for awhile! <3
that wasnt quite what u wanted i think but idk :D
last year when i was in 10th grade i was at 5 foot 1 and i weighed 140 pounds bcuz i wanted to compete in the weight competion at school. And i ended up not doing the weight competion and i was really pissed bcuz i gained all that weight. So i've had the worst time trying to maintain a healthy diet and i went into martial arts which helped alot and now im back to my original weight 105 and now im 5 foot 2. But also i had a tough time with money being an issue bcuz i only have my mom.
i first looked to me and my weight when i was around 10 years old and i was starting to get into puberty and i watch myself getting from a very thin child into a veeeeery curvy and fat almost-woman that couldnt stop eating what she shouldnt. since then i pay attention to what i eat and found my passion in dance what makes me in shape :)
I was always the chubby child - shy, teased often. Food was a celebration. It was a comfort that replaced a warm blanket or hug. It was the friend who was always there. I was conditioned to become an emotional & binge eater. Diets,would inevitability end in a slip, which would turn into a large downhill spiral fueled by regret and guilt.
After years of unhealthy yo-yo- dietting, I eventually ballooned up to 440 pounds. At 5' 10" every daily task became a marathon.
I first became conscious about my weight back when I was dancing ballet, at about 12. My dance teacher would remind our class that the "ideal body" was lean, and thin so that we could best see our shape and movements. She said that if we were heavy our movements would look sloppy. I began watching what I ate and have been extremely critical of myself ever since then.
When I was in the 5th grade I started to wear jeans. Now I have always been a heavy child but wearing sweats and such kinda masked it, but the jeans did no justice.
When I started to wear jeans I found the bullying part of my life began, but now I am in highschool and I still wear jeans but I have a higher self confidence even though according the media I am 20lbs over weight.
When I was in 3rd grade I was always being made fun of cause of my weight and In gym class I couldnt keep up with the other kids, no one wanted me on their team. I remember my mom calling me fat when i was that young i think that was the worst
I was a skinny baby. Eating was the last thing on my list. But then we moved from WA to MS when I was in elementary and I found out I loved Southern cooking! In 3rd grade, we had a PE class and when I got on the scale I was shocked. I was at 99lbs! It snuck up on me. Ever since it's been a constant battle with joy when I lost weight and sadness when I gained (including lots of cookie dough). It will always be a worry in my mind. I'm afraid of what the future would hold if I didn't watch it.
In the seventh grade I realized that at 150+ pounds I was overweight for my height. I was never involved in sports up til then. I joined athletics and ever since then I have tried to lead an active life. I graduated from high school this year and am proud to say that I am at a smaller, healthier size than I was in the seventh grade.
In grade school, I started figure skating and I was always one of the bigger girls on the ice. I was not HUGE or unhealthy when I look at the pictures, but, I felt very big. My mom also would not allow me to buy certain dresses (skating) or regular clothes because of my size. I am currently 29 and working on getting healthy. At my heaviest, I was 196, I am currently 175 and am looking to get down to 145-150, but that is going to depend on some health issues that make it difficult to lose weight.
well when i waz 12 i waz d overoverweight and my doctor said to go ona diet and my first diet was to eat healthy and only the size which fits you palm it was really hard and i couldnt do it but i tried hard and gym wont take me in coz i was 12 !well now i am still overweight
im currently 16, becoming a junior in highschool. in 7th grade, everyone else was about a size 3 and i was a size 13. i worked out really hard and i have finally gotten myself down to a size 9. now everyone is a size 5,and i remain a 9. my mother used to be a size 13 too,and now she is a zero! the way she lost her weight is unhealthy;anorexia. i want to loose my weight the right was and not endanger my health. shes always putting me down about my weight ;we dont have a good relationship.. :/
I didn't realize that I had a weight problem until I told my husband what I weighed and he looked at me in awe. He told me that he was only 20 lbs heavier than me and he was 218. I almost cried! My ideal body weight according to the BMI is 150 ( I think) because I'm 5' 8''. Ever since he made this comment to me, I've been unhappy and I have been working on losing weight. I'm really glad I found your videos because they've been helping a lot
I never really cared about my weight until I switched over to a new dance studio. The teacher at my dance studio would always critisize me about my weight and at times even told me to skip meals to achieve the ideal body of a ballerina. Of course I never bothered doing so, but her words stuck onto me and often led to having me think twice before I ate something. I quit about a year later, but was never able to eat the same ever again.
I was unconcerned with my weight till high school and I even ate extra portions because I felt that having a bigger body figure would make me look more mature! I was quite small and i was mistaken to be almost 4 yrs younger than I actually was. One day my family exclaimed that I had thunder thighs!(fat thighs). I started feeling insecure and unhappy and wondered if others thought that way too. I reduced my calorie intake and started exercising. I hope I can be thin and feel confident again (:
The first time I became keenly aware of my weight I was in 7th grade. I was 5'8 and 120 pounds. A friends brother who was an adult in his 30's told me I was "getting hippy." I look back on that now and realize I was most likely starting puberty and becoming curvy. From that one comment I had a distorted view of my body.
As a little girl growing up I was really chubby. I weighed about 30 lbs. at the age of 2. I loved to eat back then & I once ate about 5 bags of chips & got really sick. B/c of that I lost a lot of weight. From then on I worried about what I ate & always tried to eat a lot of veggies. In 5th grade, I weighed 60 lbs. & my teacher told me I was underweight. I was confused because I thought I was pretty healthy. She explained to me that eating too much is bad as well as eating too little. Now I diet
Crisps. French fries I just call 'em french fries not chips. :) I meant to say now that my teacher explained to me that eating too much was bad I now diet to keep myself healthy.
I remember in 7th grade I was reading the nutrition facts on a box of Honey Nut Cheerios and I remember saying to my mom, "There's only 110 calories in this entire box! I can eat the whole thing and won't get fat!" Little did I know how WRONG I WAS..........my mom informed me that I was reading the nutrition fact panel wrong and from then on I began to use portion control and discovered dieting.
On the nutrition fact panel. It will say like for example 100 calories..but that means 100 calories in a serving size. So if it was a box of Cheerios then you'd be getting 100 calories in 3/4 cup of them not the entire box.
My first year of college I reached 216 pounds being 17 yr old and 5'6". Having a few medical conditions in my back makes it a bit hard sometimes (specially back then) to do some exercises. I lost 40 pounds aprox.... I reached 174 pounds last year. After that I lost the motivation I had back then and I gained 16 pounds back :(
I'm currently getting back on track because I swore to myself I'd never be that one again.
my concern started whe i was in7th grade and i really began to think of my issues since people would be mean and tell me stuff i grew very self conscious about that
when i was a child, i was at a healthy weight but i broke this homemade chair my father made by standing on it. i started to freak out on how i possibly had broken it, considering all my sisters/parents use it... i guess that was my epiphany, but ever since i've been stressing out & eating my feelings out so i'm pretty freaking not fit. ):. but i'm gonna try to get into shape!! it's never too late to start!!
Horribly enough, i wasn't talked into it or even given ideas about weight until one day i went to the doc after just turning 11, weighed 80 pounds I was 40 before that and did not understand how someone could gain 20 between doctor visits. But i was very young, still growing yet i assumed that was bad! I was thin and tall but i was unaware of this and began to really start watching my size in grade6 But i have been struggling with it ever since and even turned bulimic
I remember the first time that weight actually became an issue for me was when I first started dating this one guy the summer before my freshmen year of college. When I started dating him I weighed 103 pounds and I thought that I looked good and healthy. He told me otherwise, making me feel I needed to lose weight. Since him I've gained to a healthy weight, but I've been weight conscious ever since, and I hate it! Being stick thin isn't always "beautiful"
unfortunately my issues with weight started before I even became overweight. A little ironic I guess. I remember being 11 and thinking to myself that I was fat. Looking back I was far from fat; I was at a nice healthy weight but I didn't know how to lose weight except for exercise so I did Richard Simmons Sweating to the Oldies and then more walking. Unfortunately nothing ever took and while in college I ate my pain and stress but I remember worrying about my weight at age 11.
I remember always being heavy, but it wasn't an issue till I met my husband about 6 years ago. Having lived on the college diet of coffee and ramen, I moved to 'meals' and quickly gained alot of weight. About half way down though where I was when I met him.. yay. xD
I was chubby when I was younger, up until I was 16-17 when I lost around 70lbs. My earliest memory of thinking about my weight was probably in 4th grade when I was teased for being 'fat'. It caused me to be self conscious for years, but eventually I learned to like myself for who I am and now that I'm at a healthy weight, I'm happy with myself inside and out.
I never really had to worry about my weight until after I had my son. I was always 5'4" and about 115. In the last months of my pregnancy I was almost upto 180 pounds!! After I could start working out I knew I had a lot of work ahead of me! Now I am working out and eating healthier than before I was pregnant. :)
well i'm five-two and in the 9th grade i hit 140 then i saw a pic i took with me and my two SKINNY sisters and realized i needed a change. i stopped drinking sodas and ate smaller portions of everything. and i got to 108 woo hooo! buuuut... i gained it all back and became inconsistent with being healthy :[ .... so now im on a mission to get back there and you guys are helping BIG time. Thanks soo much.!!
i was always pretty fit but once i reached 5th grade I always felt self concious because everyone else would have skinny legs and mine would be muscular..over time ive learned that people like me for who i am and think im beautiful that way..i have an athletiv body and have learned to love and flaunt it!
I was always a skinny child, but when I hit puberty, I became a chubby child. That's when I began thinking about my weight. I've struggled with it ever since.
-->con't When i see them , i give up, saying to myself that i'm worthless and i'll never look like that. So please! Anyone! Help me! My health is starting to become an issue with this, my heart and my lungs. Though i am a nurse assistant, i know what is to be done medically, but again, lack the courage and motivation to finish the job. I want my boyfriend to feel so happy and proud to call me his future wife, to make our sex life go from great to sex goddess level! I want people to see me!
-->con't But i'm sick of being this way. And i'm doing something about it now! I want to be that slim, sexy ass woman men and woman want. Like the Victoria secret models and calendar babes! I want to feel independent and empowered! So i'm going you use your channel to do that! But the only problem is my depression, that i get from being overweight, and i lack the motivation. I just get so down when i see these women that are happy, shopping for the clothes they want instead having to choose...
cont.) with them yet. Everytime I hear a skinny friend of mine tell me she thinks shes fat, I get upset because Iook at how beautiful they are, and how big I am. Theyre all a size 2 or 4 in juniors. My friend Marissa, who is athletic, and I are both 11's or 13. I really need this book, because I have been trying for YEARS to take this weight off. I'm going to a different school, and I want to start off new, and surprise old friends. Please, I need this book, because I have gained 80 pounds in 3y
Hello, my name is Amber. I'm 21 and I'm over 100lbs overweight. Now i didnt end up this way by chance. I ate my way here. I've tried just about everything. I'm even considering going under the knife and having a good percent of mt stomach cut out to lose weight. I've struggled with this all through my teen years; being made fun of, being rejected by men, and having very low, low self image.
cont.) I asked my best friend to ask one of my crushes if he called me fat, and he said he did. I was so heart broken that I flipped out on him, he said he didnt care if I cried, and lost a friend. The other crush said nothing about me. It added stress on me, and I started eating 2 times more than I normally would. And gained 20-25 pounds in 2-3 months. I've always known I was a little bigger than the other girls, but I thought it was because I started puberty before them, and it hasnt caught up
This year in High School, I was on the Volleyball team, and it was at one of my home games that i realized I was bigger. My crushes were there, so I got flirty and tried to act cute, not trying too hard, as they were my friends. I heard them laughing off and on up in the bleachers, and I didn't want to believe they were laughing at me. So I continued to play confidently, not paying much attention to them. I later heard that they called me fat by my friend David. I still didnt want to believe, so
When I was a kid I was very athletic and active. Around age 9 I started taking dance classes and elevated to a competitive level. Every since then I've been very weight and body conscious. I was always the slightly chubby girl in the class and have been battling my weight my whole life.
i was a freshman in high school and my volleyball season had just ended. During winter break and of course only wearing sweats because it was so cold outside!!! my first morning back from school i put on my favorite pair of jeans and to my shock i had to wiggle to squeeze into them. when i got them zipped i was horrified to find a muffin top staring back at me! i've been trying to lose the weight for about a year now with binges and crash diets leaving me with no success.
I started gaining weight when I left my regular highschool halfway through sophomore year, I went to homeschooling. I didn't notice I was gaining until one day I went to put an old pair of jeans on, and they wouldn't go past my knees. Ever since then I had problems, it got worse after I was married 2 years ago, I have almost reached 200lbs, I was able to get down to 160, but then gained everything back not knowing why. So the battle continues.
6 months after I gave birth to my 2nd baby (July 2008) I went shopping and I was magically fitting into a size 20 - the biggest I've ever been in my life. I couldn't even blame it on the baby or baby weight. I remedied the issue and I've lost 60lbs to date and I'm the fittest I've ever been in my life. Maintaining is NOT easy and I struggle with it everyday. I need that book. I'm constantly on the look out for books, items, people or whatever to help keep me motivated. Thank you! --Sass
oh ever since i was ten, I gained weight like crazy..... went back to normal weight at 15 and gained it again at 17... I blamed stress...... Trying so hard to lose the weight and keep it offf!!!!!!!
con't--> And then he started to teach me how to play tennis, and another 10lbs came off, and slowly I started doing other activities and eatting a more balanced diet, I lost an additional 5lbs and now I play with the last 5lbs, but over the course of a year I lost close to 30lbs and have kept it off ever since....8 years later! I do have to exercise and watch what I eat to this day and now almost 30 it's a bit harder I see my body changing. But I do get on the scale at least once a week...
I have never been considered overweight, but right after high school I guess I reached an all time high weight, without even realizing it since it came on so gradually through high school. I met my now husband (been together 8 years) and he introduced to me to the world of a little of bit of exercise and talked me out of my 'vegetarian' state of mind (I was a bad vegetarian eatting just pasta) and just by a few changes I lost 10lbs by eatting fish and chicken.
(continued) and i hav tried my very best to change my appearance but it is somehow difficult especially now that i found out that i have thyroid problems. i've tried my very best to change and control my problems but i think i just need a little inspiration since my family doesnt care about there looks and don't want to go on a exercise or diet along with me which makes it more difficult for me to change. so yeah thats my story
i remember when i was in the 5th grade i never realized i was overweight until my parents couldnt buy me the cute skirts and uniform shirts i now had 2 wear boy pants and large school polo shirts all the other girls had their school skirts uniform and i looked more like a tomboy it would be embarrassing at the stores when my parents would have to tell me to get away from the girls section of school uniform and instead go to the boys section. I am now a junior in high school...
My whole family had always been heavier. I had just accepted that, and blamed my genetics. When I was in high school, I pictured my older self, and "future me" wasn't "fat". I decided to break out of the gene-excuse, except I went about it in the wrong ways. I began to eat only fruits, I didn't exercise, and I was on the brink of an eating disorder. I'm 21 now, and I still struggle with weight. I haven't gained back the 60 lbs I lost, but I try to maintain - DietHealth really helps me do that.
I grew up with pressure of "having" to be skinny in my family.. I spent years being under weight till I suddenly started gaining weight like crazy when I turned 17, I was taken to see a doctor and was diagnosed with PCOS.. I'm 29 now, and its quite a struggle! no matter how much effort or discipline I put into it, it doesn't seem to work. This has given me severe issues with depression since now I'm struggling with being the "heaviest" in the group. I'm still working on it, so, wish me luck :)
Never had a heaviness issue until freshman year of college. I actually had to put weights in my clothes to play PopWarner football. I gained the freshman 15 the first semester and 15 more then second. Steadly raising since.
After 1 yr of my maternity leave when i joined my office,i was shocked when my friend once asked me if i m pregnant again. I looked myself in full mirror dat night and I looked as I m 4-5 months pregnant. that nite I promised myself I want to reshape myself.
I have always had self confidence issues becasue of my weight. I remember it starting in PE class in 3rd grade. I am now a sophomore in college and more overweight than ever. Its taking over my life and has effected my life with men and academics. It stinks. I would really appreciate this read. I would like to begin to change my life before i completely give up on trying.
hmm i wuld say the first time i have attempted tone up was in 9th grade in high school. I can remeber it like it was yesterday. On my way to last class this boy named Cory had looked it and I looked and smiled at him. First he paused and examined my body at a quick glance and said "Dam Pam you got a gut!" I have never looked at my body or even paid any attention to it until that day. I looked down at my stomache and kind of put my arms around it in a horrid attempt to hide it. after that i
hav been workin out ever since. I t sort of created some strange obsession. My first thing was sit-ups and crunches. I began to do these after school everyday. Then as I became more advanced i would descover my mothers workout videos. Pilates with Paula was the best pilates. great for beginners. then after that the true deal breaker was taebo. taebo put my abs in the best shape it has ever been. to this day i still dont have a provlem with my tommy. my docter looked at me with amazement
once she examined me for my physical. This whole story of me getting my super tight tommy occured during the summer. I also ate salads everyday for lunch as well as do the taebo everyday. So yeah thats the end of my story =D
I need to be happy! This weight has only brought days of depression, literally. I have been battling my weight since I was like 8 years old... I've always been a lot chubbier than all my friends and when I got out of high school the weight, it just sky rocketed on the scale from there. I'm in a slump at the moment and I need a booster and a good kick in the butt... HELP!!!
I remember starting the junior high in 7th grade, where the building was two-stories high. Going up the stairs I was SO self concious, because although I've never been overweight, I have the tendency to gain weight on my behind and hips more than anything.... for me, going up the packed stairs with other students inches away made me feel as if whoever was behind me was thinking my butt was big, so the sheer action was painful. Now I'm a healthy 5'11 and 140 lbs.
I am still losing weight today (trying) and it has been such a challenge. I always feel like being "thin" would make my life better and i would be happier. Like i would be a better wife, daughter and friend. But i know deep down inside that is not the truth. I really just want to be healthier and feel good about myself again...
2 years ago i fell into a deep depression and gained 75lbs in like 7 months. I am 6'0 tall female and before the weight gain i was a great size and pple considered me pretty at my size 12/14. then after the weight gain i balloned to a size 22/24. I was miserable and felt ugly. My doctor just recently diagnosed me w/ PCOS(Polycystic Ovarian Syndrom)....they told me i could have had it as far back as 5 years ago.
When I had my second daughter I hit the 200 scale; which I shut myself down to food, in my mind I only wanted to be thin, thin like the models.. i starved myself with only water until ireached 140lb.
ive never been thin, ive always been over weight. In 7th grade i realized that when i hit my heavy point of 193 pounds. I lost about 15 pounds the summer between 7th and 8th grade, but gained about 5 of it back throughout the school year. Next year I'm going to be a freshman in highschool and i really want to lose weight. I still weigh180 pounds, which for my height, is very overweight but not obese.
Ive been dieting all summer with little results, so i hope this book can help me reach my goal.
i have never been thin and ive always been overweight but when i was in like 6th grade i finally relized tat and i manged to lose 30 pounds but i gained it all back and then some so yea im dieting right now and extersising too...kinda ive manged to lose 7 pounds but i dont really seem to be losing anymore weight so yea this book could really help me p.s ive been dieting for about a month
I dealt with weight as a child only because I was ultra thin and made fun of. All thugh grade, jr. high and high school. I didn't start worrying about weight gain till about 40. Now it's a struggle theother way.
Always had an issue with my weight after an extream trauma in my child hood. after this happend to me i would eat to cumfort myself once i got over the trauma i reallised the issues with my weight and heath i stopped going to school and going out with friends
i even cause myself physical pain to take away the mental pain that i was feeling
although i dont harm myself no more i still cant deal with my weight i try and diet and nothing happens
people can be helped i just want to be one of them
I became concerned about my weight in university. I had always been fit and thin prior to university, but then i found fried food, take out, and eating late. I had put on the frosh 15 (or more) in the first year and just kept gaining and gaining for the next 12 years... until last year (190 lbs and 5'5")where I decided that i wasn't going to let food control me. I started going to the gym 5 days a week and watched my portion sizes and now i finally feel comfortable again in my own skin.
well i am 15 right now and i started to worry about my wieght when i was like in 5th grade because i was always a very big child and i got made fun off alot last year i was on medicen that made me gain a ton of wieght my biggest was 330 and i was only 14 and about 5'4" so i was big now i am about 295 and i just cant seem to take it off so it would mean alot if i could read a book that shows someone else struggling with wieght and how they over came it
Mine was when I crossed from kids sizes into juniors. Suddenly I wasn't a small kid anymore and that was scary.. it was getting "bigger". Slowly but surely this developed into body image issues and extreme weight loss. It's funny how small things can trigger a lifetime of issues!
I was in 8th grade. Even though I was thin and healthy, all of my friends had smaller frames and weighed less. So that made me think that I was fat. Plus I naturally have a big butt so I thought that meant I was fat.
well in 27yrs female..i,m 5.6 tall i weigh 140 pounds, i,m not actually overweight, but it was wen i joined college , that i became aware tht i was actually fat, i mean , ever since then i started preceiving myself as fat, i thought tht i shud b like one of the hollywood actresses or bikini models, who have flat tummies.ever since i hv been trying hard, to really thin down, but i just cant starve myself, i,m a gym goer as well, have maintained my BMI in limits, but dont look tht hollywood.
My earliest memory of dealing with weight was when I was 8. I was in a ballet studio and they used to weigh us regularly. I was a bit over the limit and was told I could not look graceful when trying some of the advanced moves, so I had to either lose weight or lose my spot on the front row for an upcoming performance... It was tough, and have always seen myself as chubby, though I'm a size 4 sometimes 6
(continued) I am just so negative about my weight. I have tried so many diets, mostly the fad ones, such as no carbs, fasting, cabage soup diet, honey drink (canyenne pepper or something like that), Blood type, Alphabet diet and others. That does seem stupid when i look back but now, im just not losing anything! I try new workouts and i try new diets and this book could finally banish all my weight issues and i could lead a normal life without my demons devouring my fun and my life
For me, my weight controls me. Ever since i moved from Malaysia to England when i was 7, i became aware of my weight although i wasn't overweight or had any issues that would concern my mom. Ever since, i have been struggling to find the best solution to my weight loss and all round well being that came with getting fit and fitness. This year i subscribed to many diet and fitness channels on youtube but have found diethealth the best. I have still never really shifted more than 10 lbs.
I can't remember a time I wasn't hypersensitive about my size.... But first memory would have to be 3rd grade - 8 years old. I recall being terribly ashamed to wear shorts to school like the other kids even on Field Day when it was 80 degrees. My thighs were "too fat" in my mind so I sweated out such days in my size 10/12 "HUSKY" jeans...... At 37, I fight severe hypothyroidism. CAN YOU IMAGINE? Like my lifelong nightmare of weight gain wasn't enough as a child. I guess fear breeds fact.
I was in fifth grade and the only person in adult clothes. Being "pleasingly plump", as my grandma said, went right out the window the day I couldn't button my 18 Husky's anymore. The other kids couldn't know my increase in pants size, but I started noticing how I was treated more. I thought that people were nice to me because they liked me, but I started noticing that they'd drop conversations when I came around. No one called me any names, but I knew I was different and that still hurt.
I remember it well. I was 10 and in figure skating, I had just started to learn some major jumps and had just earned my first solo dance. At one of my practises my coach was 'kind enough' to let me know that my thighs are 'chunky' and that I should lose weight if I want to really be a figure skater.
If I didn't have a healthy self esteem, I think that would have sparked the road to VERY unhealthy weight issues.
But... I ended up with MILDLY unhealthy weight issues. =-I
I didn't really start worrying about my weight till after High School. I started doing videos on You Tube and that is what is getting me to lose more weight. Seeing yourself as everyone else sees you is a wake up call when you see that first roll or your arm waving back at you when you've stopped waving.
I remember when I was a freshmen in HS I only weighed like 85 pounds and wrestled at 112. I was forced to eat like 5 meals a day to gain weight. Probably not the weight story you were looking for though :)
well,im currently 15 years old,when i was 11 i went on a diet that made me loose 20 pounds,i was obese i was 5ft tall and i weighted 140,i was still a little fat,even thou i lost a little bit of weight,what made me look thiner was that i grew up so now i was 5.5ft tall,as soon as i finished the diet,i started eating junk again so im currently 5.8ft weighting 190 pounds,right now im trying something called p90x,this is my 3rd day so i think the book would be a little help.
Some people told me I was ugly and even fat, even though I'm not, but I started believing that. I felt very bad about myself. Then my friends told me I'm NOT fat and that helped me through. Then I told the people I don't care about what they're saying and they stopped.
I've always had weight issues but my biggest memory is from high school. I thought I had to be so thin to be accepted that I remember eating one cookie per day to lose weight. Now, I realize how rediculous that is.
I never had weight issue until after I gave birth to my first child. After staying at home with two kids for three years, I gained about 50 pounds. I found myself a job and so glad that one of my co-worker was a personal trainer. He taught us a lot, not only excising but also better life style. After he left, I joined a gym, doing exercise 3-4 times a week during lunch hour. Recently found your YouTube channel. I like to try new thing I learned from your video in gym. They work! Thanks a lot!
My first diet was when I was 15, I started eating really healthily and working out over the summer. I dropped around 10 pounds in three months. Unfortunately at university i'm struggling to keep the weight off at university.
I dont really have a first memory, I've always thought I was fat. My sister even used to call me fat, and my best friend through the years was always really scrawny.
I was always made to feel like the fat one because my sister was/is an active dancer, and I'm just 'the singer'.
I'm still struggling, and anything to help me on my path to loose weight would be a huge help. =)
I never struggled with my weight until I started high school, where is put on 20kg in a few months. The real problem is that my sisters two years younger didn't have that problem and are still very skinny. The comparison my parents constantly make between us is really hard on me because it DEFINITELY doesn't help my confidence.
My best friends in my 2nd grade class made a "no fat kids" club and I was fat, so they ridiculed me and thought that saying "no offense" would make it better. Since then i've had a constant problem with my body image, struggling with anorexia after working out and dieting really didn't give me many results. I don't know what i'm doing wrong. I just want to be healthy, I'm starting my senior year in august and am so paranoid about the idea of going back to school thin. I worry myself.
it was in 4th grade and i saw the scale which i forgot the number but it was probably 120...im going to 8th grade now, and im eating alot healthier, losing weight, and excersing. i was 140ish during the beginning of this year, but in now 125
My very first memory of dieting was when I was a teenager and I was reading a magazine which had an article about an anorexic girl. I saw pictures of her stick thin legs, her toothpick arms and tiny waist and I thought this was beautiful. I starved myself and lost some weight, but was always extremely hungry. Eventually I gave up on my diet and had a massive binge. I put the weight back on and gained so much more than I first weighed, I was so ashamed of myself.
when is was 10 weight more then anyone in my class, i knew that because of this little friendship book where you had top put your weight. know I am 15 and sometimes i am happy, but the next day when i eat just a little to much, i look like a fat chicken, it is really weird with my body because i can look okay, and i can look really fat just because i didn't excersise, or I ate a ice cream - sorry for the bad english, i am dutch
I've struggled with my weight my whole life and i really started caring about my weight when i went to my new school in the 6th grade. At my old schooli seemed to fit in better and i wasn't the only chubby girl but i felt that in my new schooleveryone was smaller than me. In my application to the school i had say my weight and i remember lying about it saying i weighed 95lbs when it was really 105. It was a small school and all the girls seemed much smaller than me.I really felt bad about myself
My earliest issue with weight was when I was 16 and I was terribly in love with this boy. We really clicked, we were amazing together, however, he didn't seem to be interested in me as more than a great friend. He flirted, he made me believe that it could work out and then he made out with an anorexic-looking chick right next to me. Her IQ being lower than the room temperature, it doesn't take a genius to see what made him go for her instead of me, the potential soulmate.
I started starving myself when I was in grade 8. Throughout my childhood years I was also called fat by family and classmates. I guess that's what made me become anorexic. After highschool I realized the only way to healthy weight loss was to keep eating and work out. I was always self conscious about my stomach eventho I have a small body frame. I looked skinny eventho I'm not.. not in my fattest areas.
I was always reminded that I was fatter than other children from the time I was young. I loved ballet lessons from a young age but after two years my father had commented that I was too big to be a ballet dancer and that it was a waste of time. My dad also commented later on that I shouldn't take horse riding cause I would kill the horse. My grade 1 teacher commented on the amount of food I ate and that I must store it in my legs! Stupid negative comments like that haunt me even till today!
I've never had weight problems before in my life, therefore I never worried about my weight. I've always been skinny and muscular from tennis, but last summer (I was 18) I took a cardio kickboxing class and I lost 13 pounds. I was tiny and I didn't think much of it. But when college started up I wasn't able to continue the class and I started eating fast food more as well. I gained almost all of that weight back and I'm still not fat. But I do struggle with how much I've gained back.
I was about 8 when I saw a photo taken of me in the backyard. Then I realized for the first time that I was chubby, since I could see my belly under my clothes. No-one told me I'm fat, but I still kept thinking I need to be thinner. One of my closest friends was my skinny cousin to whom I kept comparing myself.
It's sad you start thinking about your looks at such an early age. Why is that? Is it peer pressure, media or what? Children should be playing and not thinking about how they look.
I remember looking through the pantry for a snack one day when i was about 6 years old. I didnt find anything interessting other than a vanila slimfast powder container. I remember wanting it so badly that i convinced my babysitter that my mom said i should have it because it would make me skinnier. I obviously didnt know very much about dieting, now did I? (neither did my babysitter for that matter!!)
Now thanks to DietHealth i definetly know more now than i knew then!! Thank you Sarah!!
When I was 5 years old my Dad enrolled me in a gymnastics studio where I had to wear a leotard & tights. I was very embarrassed because I thought I was really chubby and ugly compared to the other girls. That first day I went home with my Dad crying that the other girls made fun of me (I don't think they really did, I just hated myself) and that I didn't want to go back. He withdrew me and that was it for my gymnastics career and was the beginning of a lifetime of dieting and self-criticism.
my first memory of dieting was when i was about 8 years old. my family doctor told my parents that i was too overweight and needed to go on a diet. so my parents cut back on a lot of my food intake in order for me to lose weight. it worked, but right after i lost a sufficient amount, they let me eat whatever i want again. BIG mistake because it gained it all back if not more. but before that, i was always tease for how big i was. since i could remember anything really..
The first time was in elementary school when the kids would put me in the not popular category because i didnt look like the ''pretty'' girls. I started to hate going to school and would refuse, that was one of the times my family was most worried about me. Also at that time not being able to do physical activities as well as the other kids could. But, one of the hardest memories though, was of a guy in high school who wouldn't date me because, as he put it, i would ''crush him''.
my first memory of dealing with my weight was when i was in middle school- i realized that all the boys in my class were more into my mom than they were into me. My mom has always been a thin, tan beautiful blond. And im, well, a more curvy brunette.... from then on ive always had an obscure body image which lead to an eating disorder before high school to which my mom proclaimed in therapy that she never wanted an "overweight" child. Now, at 21 i am just starting to love myself for who i am.
Oh God the cabbage soup diet when I was maybe 11 or 12, my parents were on it and had me on it too..it was horrid and kids at school were always asking me what the heck was I eating?
I remember my mom always introducing me as 'her biggest baby and still the biggest one'! But everything i put on my plate they made me eat it all as not to waste it! Now, I catch myself, even if I don't like the food, I eat it all! Needless to say I am an unhappy overweight adult with an eating disorder. Help!
While I'm thinking back... last christmas my aunt was making sandwiches for my family to take home in the car. My sister told her not to make her one and I suggested to have it made and in the car incase anyone wanted it or if my sister changed her mind. My aunt then said very loudly for the family to hear that I didnt need to eat another sandwich and that maybe she should make mine with whole wheat bread to belifit me. She giggled to make it not hurt but it did.
ever since i had my baby i have been struggling with the baby weight. I always look at the mirror with a look that says i'm not myself or i don't look good. Everybody tells me i look good but that's the image i see on the mirror. I exercise all the time but i feel like it doesn't help at all. And that's my story. enjoy

My first experience with a diet, might not have been a good one. I was about 20 popping dexatrim pills, basically made you not want to eat. It was good for quick fix but years later know that isn't healthy. I'm 33 now.

I am 20, about to be 21 in three months, and i can't remember the last time i was happy with my weight. Its such a common theme in my house, my mom competes with me for lowest weight and my dad won't go a day without commenting about my food or figure. Once in high school I became obsessed. Needless to say got a little sick, gained the weight i needed back for college and feel like I'm back a ground zero. I am lost in this world of numbers, scales, food portions, and body image.

The first time I really realized that omg im fat was during day camp one summer I must have been like7 years old. We were on the beach and right before the sand there was a huge step from the sidewalk to the sand. jumping down to the sand was no problem but getting up the step was. So the day camp leaders were guys and were picking some of us up to the sidewalk I was forced to ask him to help me and he made such a mean face like damn and struggled gettin me up. I was soo embarassed.

I had to confront my weight when I entered the Police College. I knew I would never get pasted all the fitness tests. I was 25 kg overweight. Everybody at the college thought I was a write off and that I'd never make it. My dream for 15 years was to become a cop. I studied policing at University. At the Police college I had to do my own training (as there was no-one to help me train). Everyday I did push ups, abs, jogged, weights & walked everywhere. I passed the fitness tests - 25kg & graduate

I started obsessing about my weight in kindergarten. I realized that I was not the thin girl but a chunky girl. The thin girls were more popular. I also remember around kindergarten/1st grade comparing weights with other girls and feeling inferior when I was bigger than some of the other girls.

When I was in high school and people were making fun of me cause I had strechmarks on my legs. That started it all.

I was close to thirty and my sister had taken a picture of me sitting, wearing a big sweater. I picked the piture up and looked at it and I couldn't recognize the person as myself. I got a a scale and saw that I was a little over 310lbs. At 5'6" that was not good. So I joined the "Y" and have kept my weight at 200lb or lower ever since.

As much as I'd love to tell a profound story of how I dealt w weight issues growing up, I really can't. Growing up I was naturally active and hyper, so weight was never an issue. It wasn't until after hs where I started gaining a lot of weight w my current eating habits. I had to dig deep to rly find that motivation to make the conscious decision to exercise and eat right. I remember buying myself expensive sneakers and that was my motivation right there. This money better not go to waste! :)

I remember when I was in 7th grade and this creepy old man , a "friend of the family" told me one day AT CHURCH MIND YOU, that my hips were "comming in nicely, he he"....like I said he was mad creepy. Around that time I started to wear big oversized T-shirts which I made sure covered my butt because I was so embarassed about my new curves. Which looking back on it, weren't even that huge. My ass just grew before the rest of my body could catch up.

I never worried about my weight until I had my son and became overweight. I cannot lose enough, no matter how much I lose, it's always 5lbs more to go. The thought of being overweight again controls what I eat, where I go, who I talk to, nearly everything I do is to reach my next goal. I often wonder if I'll ever feel good about my body. Happiness to me is being thin, I'd rather be thin and hungry than happy and fat.

I remember in school, grade 2, I was maybe 11 or 12. I've always been a very tall girl and also overweight all my life. Well, at that time I weighed around 60kg (about 132lbs) and we had a health-day at school which included a weigh-in. In front of the class. And I didn't think much of it, so I got on the scale and they read my weight and I can still remember one kid in my class saying: "Wow, she weighs more than my mother." It was horrible.

i was standing in the lunch at school when i was in 8th grade. one of my grade school friends was infront of me and showed this girl a class picture of us in 5th grade. she pointed at me and laughed "ha, theres that fat ugly girl sarah. she was fat even then. hahahah." not only did i feel bad about myself at that time but my friend didn't even defend, but she did show this mean girl i was standing behind them.

In fourth grade I started developing breasts. However to myself and my peers they were not breasts but fat and I began to be aware of other parts of my body that were not stick thin.

When I was a kid, not even a teen, I was graduating from the 6 grade and I had the worst elementary "prom" ever. I was the oldest one because I had double my grade 4 because my brother pass away was yet more developped then the other grades 6 because I was 14 and they were 12-13. I had curves, they didn't as much, I felt fat. I yet developped an eating disorder 2 years after that. I'm 5'4" and 125 lbs. Which is healthy, yet, I still don't see it. Please, I need this book.

I remember it was right about 6th grade when my body started to change and I seemed to have more baby fat then other girls. I bought 17 magazine all the time and thought I will never look like those girls. I have had to watch my diet it seems like my whole life. Diet and exercise are the key I just can't seem to find the time or energy since my last child was born.

I remember being very young when my mom told me to watch what I eat. I've always been a healthy normal weight and a very active kid but she had/has this obsession with how people look on the outside, especially her own family, so it's been part of me for quite some time. My appearance wasn't a problem but the inner struggle was ingrained in me from a young age b/c of her obsession. It's actually pretty annoying. I did gain weight in college and now at 23 (after) have lost most of it. 20-25 left

I was always superskinny and was used hearing "wow, you're so lucky!" I didn't like being so thin, but I enjoyed eating whatever & whenever I wanted. But after sophomore year, friends & even teachers started telling me "wow [my name] u gained weight!" Ofcourse they didn't mean it in a bad way because I was so thin before but I felt like I lost that "security blanket". & my dad even started to tell me to stop eating! Since then I've gained weight as I got older & would step on the scale 20x a day

In middle school I became depressed and used food as a way to be happy. I ate all the wrong things and I gained so much weight but I never thought anything of it until I went into high school. Compared to the girls in high school I was obese and it did make me depressed but I chose to fight it. I joined a gym and lost almost 30 pounds. I'm still losing weight but I've hit the plateau so it's become harder and every pound is an accomplish. This book would help me focus on my goal. Thank you.

Dear diethealth, My first memory of trying to lose weight was surprisingly in Middle School! I was NOT fat at all, I was very thin! The peer pressure and media really got to me. Once I entered High School I had a really traumatic event in my life that I turned to food for comfort. I became an emotional eater, ate when I wasn't even hungry and became a victim of binge eating. I'm 19, getting into the habit of a healthier lifestyle focusing on exercise and diet! I would love this book!!! Thanks!

alright, i Just recently turned 16, and i'm already striving to loose weight that i dont need to. I started experiencing weight issues in 4th grade when i was 9. Being called a fat ass and names at that young really scars you. Now, i've lost weight but im struggling with my self image, having immense moments of bashing myself on how i look, love handles, legs and all. it doesnt help being Five foot either. And i just need to get over this. and its a hard journey, even at a teenage year.

When I was 12, my PE coach came up to me and commented on my weight gain. That started a vicious cycle of binging and purging followed by periods of restriction. I eventually learned you'd have to incorporate exercise in your regimen as well as eat healthy in order to lose/maintain weight. I'm happy to say people always comment on my strong and lean frame. I'm proof you don't have to resort to unhealthy ways to achieve the body you want. If only my coach can see me now!

I've always had a problem with my "weight" ever since I can remember; but I'm not overweight. I've just always had a problem with my abdominal. I've retained baby-fat on my lower abdominal (I call it "my pooch"), which REFUSES to go away. I've done everything- dieting to pilates to long sessions at the gym.
I've given up on losing 'my pooch', only because I've come to accept & appreciate it. I realize now I don't want an absolute FLAT stomach, my pooch gives my tummy a bit of character :]

I was really active as a kid until my neighbors (and good friends) moved away when I was 13. Shortly after my mom gave birth to my sister--my only sibling. I didn't get out much, and my friends who kept me active with sports had moved. I just ate the loneliness away. I went from a healthy 110 lbs to 150 lbs. I thankfully lost the weight when I went to high school. I didn't have any issues for many years, till now. Married with a desk job--0 exercise and lots of guy food--bad combination.

When i was younger i was really sickly skinny. I couldnt taste food, so therefore i wouldnt eat much of it. I got my tonsils and adnoids out 3rd grade and for the next two years gained a decent amout of weight. I felt so fat and i used to tell my mom i was eating "healthy" when i really wasnt eating much of anything.

My first big issue with weight was in the 5th grade. My grandpa had a brain anurism paralizing him on his right side and making him not know who we were. Then my mother got sick with 2 ulcers leaving her out of work for 6 months. I ate to help to cope...ALOT. I was the biggest girl in my class. It was aweful!

In sixth grade (heh imagine that), I began worry about my weight. Everyday after school I would come home and eat some chocolates or wake up in the middle of the night and eat candy. It got to me and I finally realized I was letting myself get out of control. Now I do my best to eat things in moderation and workout consistently. So glad I didn't let sweets take over my life, haha.

When my dad died, food became my best friend. I ate when I was sad, plus the normal eating of life, and I gained so much! Now, I've been trying to get it off for about a year, exercising, not taking like a diet plan from tv, but just watching the amount of calories and trans fat in food, but nothing seems to help. I'm 16, possible soon to graduate, and I want to look my best for senior year! ~

I was concerned about my weight when i was around 7. I took dance class and all the girls in my class were so skinny and my legs were much bigger than theirs. We had to wear leotards which showed off our legs and i was always so self conscious about going to dance because i wanted my legs to be as skinny as the rest of the girls. Since then I had always worried about my weight. Usually it doesnt start that young but i guess i was just unfortunate

What memories this Q has brought! My earliest memory of being body conscious was at age ten, my sister called me "walking skeleton." I know this departs from the typical overweight related teasing that is so common when young, but at that time I remember feeling very inadequate. I'd never before even THOUGHT of my/other people's weight. I realize now, I was NOT too thin, it was my sister who was uncomfortable with her own weight. Still, it was the beginning of a body conscious life for me.

It started when I was in junior high my mother always told me that I was too fat for. She always compare me to herself and my two younger sister because they fit the "prefect image". Saying that no one would ever love me because how fat I was. As years past I meant my husband and a few months later I was pregnant and at the end of my pregnancies I weight 200lbs the biggest I ever been. I started to workout 5 times a day and watch what I ate but, my husband was and still my biggest support.

When I was 16 I went through a very depressing phase of bulimia. I remember gaining and losing weight constantly. It got the the point everyone was commenting on my drastic weight loss.
I now am much more educated about diet and exercise and still struggle. I am on the way to a healthy me.

When I was around nine years old I was in ballet class. I wasn't really large for my age just a little on the heavy side. However one of the other girls in my class said I was too fat to be in ballet and I should leave because I was making them look bad. It hurt me but I got over it. Unfortunately I always stayed a little on the heavy side. In the past year I've put on about ten pounds reaching an all time high. In the past few weeks I've lost about five pounds and hope to keep going.

I dreaded the annual spring ritual of height and weight measurement conducted in front of the class by the teacher. I recall being called up to the front of the class, one pupil at a time, and stepping on the scale while my classmates watched and hypothesized about my weight and whether or not I was the fattest in the class.

I was always the chubby child - shy, teased often. Food was a celebration. It was a comfort that replaced a warm blanket or hug. It was the friend who was always there. I was conditioned to become an emotional & binge eater. Diets,would inevitability end in a slip, which would turn into a large downhill spiral fueled by regret and guilt.
After years of unhealthy yo-yo- dietting, I eventually ballooned up to 440 pounds. At 5' 10" every daily task became a marathon.

I first became conscious about my weight back when I was dancing ballet, at about 12. My dance teacher would remind our class that the "ideal body" was lean, and thin so that we could best see our shape and movements. She said that if we were heavy our movements would look sloppy. I began watching what I ate and have been extremely critical of myself ever since then.

I was a skinny baby. Eating was the last thing on my list. But then we moved from WA to MS when I was in elementary and I found out I loved Southern cooking! In 3rd grade, we had a PE class and when I got on the scale I was shocked. I was at 99lbs! It snuck up on me. Ever since it's been a constant battle with joy when I lost weight and sadness when I gained (including lots of cookie dough). It will always be a worry in my mind. I'm afraid of what the future would hold if I didn't watch it.

My mom also would not allow me to buy certain dresses (skating) or regular clothes because of my size. I am currently 29 and working on getting healthy. At my heaviest, I was 196, I am currently 175 and am looking to get down to 145-150, but that is going to depend on some health issues that make it difficult to lose weight.

I never really cared about my weight until I switched over to a new dance studio. The teacher at my dance studio would always critisize me about my weight and at times even told me to skip meals to achieve the ideal body of a ballerina. Of course I never bothered doing so, but her words stuck onto me and often led to having me think twice before I ate something. I quit about a year later, but was never able to eat the same ever again.

I was unconcerned with my weight till high school and I even ate extra portions because I felt that having a bigger body figure would make me look more mature! I was quite small and i was mistaken to be almost 4 yrs younger than I actually was. One day my family exclaimed that I had thunder thighs!(fat thighs). I started feeling insecure and unhappy and wondered if others thought that way too. I reduced my calorie intake and started exercising. I hope I can be thin and feel confident again (:

As a little girl growing up I was really chubby. I weighed about 30 lbs. at the age of 2. I loved to eat back then & I once ate about 5 bags of chips & got really sick. B/c of that I lost a lot of weight. From then on I worried about what I ate & always tried to eat a lot of veggies. In 5th grade, I weighed 60 lbs. & my teacher told me I was underweight. I was confused because I thought I was pretty healthy. She explained to me that eating too much is bad as well as eating too little. Now I diet

I remember in 7th grade I was reading the nutrition facts on a box of Honey Nut Cheerios and I remember saying to my mom, "There's only 110 calories in this entire box! I can eat the whole thing and won't get fat!" Little did I know how WRONG I WAS..........my mom informed me that I was reading the nutrition fact panel wrong and from then on I began to use portion control and discovered dieting.

How do you read it?
bluebabe3000 2 years ago
On the nutrition fact panel. It will say like for example 100 calories..but that means 100 calories in a serving size. So if it was a box of Cheerios then you'd be getting 100 calories in 3/4 cup of them not the entire box.

I remember the first time that weight actually became an issue for me was when I first started dating this one guy the summer before my freshmen year of college. When I started dating him I weighed 103 pounds and I thought that I looked good and healthy. He told me otherwise, making me feel I needed to lose weight. Since him I've gained to a healthy weight, but I've been weight conscious ever since, and I hate it! Being stick thin isn't always "beautiful"

unfortunately my issues with weight started before I even became overweight. A little ironic I guess. I remember being 11 and thinking to myself that I was fat. Looking back I was far from fat; I was at a nice healthy weight but I didn't know how to lose weight except for exercise so I did Richard Simmons Sweating to the Oldies and then more walking. Unfortunately nothing ever took and while in college I ate my pain and stress but I remember worrying about my weight at age 11.

Hello, my name is Amber. I'm 21 and I'm over 100lbs overweight. Now i didnt end up this way by chance. I ate my way here. I've tried just about everything. I'm even considering going under the knife and having a good percent of mt stomach cut out to lose weight. I've struggled with this all through my teen years; being made fun of, being rejected by men, and having very low, low self image.

cont.) I asked my best friend to ask one of my crushes if he called me fat, and he said he did. I was so heart broken that I flipped out on him, he said he didnt care if I cried, and lost a friend. The other crush said nothing about me. It added stress on me, and I started eating 2 times more than I normally would. And gained 20-25 pounds in 2-3 months. I've always known I was a little bigger than the other girls, but I thought it was because I started puberty before them, and it hasnt caught up

This year in High School, I was on the Volleyball team, and it was at one of my home games that i realized I was bigger. My crushes were there, so I got flirty and tried to act cute, not trying too hard, as they were my friends. I heard them laughing off and on up in the bleachers, and I didn't want to believe they were laughing at me. So I continued to play confidently, not paying much attention to them. I later heard that they called me fat by my friend David. I still didnt want to believe, so

When I was a kid I was very athletic and active. Around age 9 I started taking dance classes and elevated to a competitive level. Every since then I've been very weight and body conscious. I was always the slightly chubby girl in the class and have been battling my weight my whole life.

i was a freshman in high school and my volleyball season had just ended. During winter break and of course only wearing sweats because it was so cold outside!!! my first morning back from school i put on my favorite pair of jeans and to my shock i had to wiggle to squeeze into them. when i got them zipped i was horrified to find a muffin top staring back at me! i've been trying to lose the weight for about a year now with binges and crash diets leaving me with no success.

I started gaining weight when I left my regular highschool halfway through sophomore year, I went to homeschooling. I didn't notice I was gaining until one day I went to put an old pair of jeans on, and they wouldn't go past my knees. Ever since then I had problems, it got worse after I was married 2 years ago, I have almost reached 200lbs, I was able to get down to 160, but then gained everything back not knowing why. So the battle continues.

6 months after I gave birth to my 2nd baby (July 2008) I went shopping and I was magically fitting into a size 20 - the biggest I've ever been in my life. I couldn't even blame it on the baby or baby weight. I remedied the issue and I've lost 60lbs to date and I'm the fittest I've ever been in my life. Maintaining is NOT easy and I struggle with it everyday. I need that book. I'm constantly on the look out for books, items, people or whatever to help keep me motivated. Thank you! --Sass

con't--> And then he started to teach me how to play tennis, and another 10lbs came off, and slowly I started doing other activities and eatting a more balanced diet, I lost an additional 5lbs and now I play with the last 5lbs, but over the course of a year I lost close to 30lbs and have kept it off ever since....8 years later! I do have to exercise and watch what I eat to this day and now almost 30 it's a bit harder I see my body changing. But I do get on the scale at least once a week...

I have never been considered overweight, but right after high school I guess I reached an all time high weight, without even realizing it since it came on so gradually through high school. I met my now husband (been together 8 years) and he introduced to me to the world of a little of bit of exercise and talked me out of my 'vegetarian' state of mind (I was a bad vegetarian eatting just pasta) and just by a few changes I lost 10lbs by eatting fish and chicken.

My whole family had always been heavier. I had just accepted that, and blamed my genetics. When I was in high school, I pictured my older self, and "future me" wasn't "fat". I decided to break out of the gene-excuse, except I went about it in the wrong ways. I began to eat only fruits, I didn't exercise, and I was on the brink of an eating disorder. I'm 21 now, and I still struggle with weight. I haven't gained back the 60 lbs I lost, but I try to maintain - DietHealth really helps me do that.

I grew up with pressure of "having" to be skinny in my family.. I spent years being under weight till I suddenly started gaining weight like crazy when I turned 17, I was taken to see a doctor and was diagnosed with PCOS.. I'm 29 now, and its quite a struggle! no matter how much effort or discipline I put into it, it doesn't seem to work. This has given me severe issues with depression since now I'm struggling with being the "heaviest" in the group. I'm still working on it, so, wish me luck :)

Then as I became more advanced i would descover my mothers workout videos. Pilates with Paula was the best pilates. great for beginners. then after that the true deal breaker was taebo. taebo put my abs in the best shape it has ever been. to this day i still dont have a provlem with my tommy. my docter looked at me with amazement

I remember starting the junior high in 7th grade, where the building was two-stories high. Going up the stairs I was SO self concious, because although I've never been overweight, I have the tendency to gain weight on my behind and hips more than anything.... for me, going up the packed stairs with other students inches away made me feel as if whoever was behind me was thinking my butt was big, so the sheer action was painful. Now I'm a healthy 5'11 and 140 lbs.

Next year I'm going to be a freshman in highschool and i really want to lose weight. I still weigh180 pounds, which for my height, is very overweight but not obese.

I became concerned about my weight in university. I had always been fit and thin prior to university, but then i found fried food, take out, and eating late. I had put on the frosh 15 (or more) in the first year and just kept gaining and gaining for the next 12 years... until last year (190 lbs and 5'5")where I decided that i wasn't going to let food control me. I started going to the gym 5 days a week and watched my portion sizes and now i finally feel comfortable again in my own skin.

Mine was when I crossed from kids sizes into juniors. Suddenly I wasn't a small kid anymore and that was scary.. it was getting "bigger". Slowly but surely this developed into body image issues and extreme weight loss. It's funny how small things can trigger a lifetime of issues!

My earliest memory of dealing with weight was when I was 8. I was in a ballet studio and they used to weigh us regularly. I was a bit over the limit and was told I could not look graceful when trying some of the advanced moves, so I had to either lose weight or lose my spot on the front row for an upcoming performance... It was tough, and have always seen myself as chubby, though I'm a size 4 sometimes 6

For me, my weight controls me. Ever since i moved from Malaysia to England when i was 7, i became aware of my weight although i wasn't overweight or had any issues that would concern my mom. Ever since, i have been struggling to find the best solution to my weight loss and all round well being that came with getting fit and fitness. This year i subscribed to many diet and fitness channels on youtube but have found diethealth the best. I have still never really shifted more than 10 lbs.

I can't remember a time I wasn't hypersensitive about my size.... But first memory would have to be 3rd grade - 8 years old. I recall being terribly ashamed to wear shorts to school like the other kids even on Field Day when it was 80 degrees. My thighs were "too fat" in my mind so I sweated out such days in my size 10/12 "HUSKY" jeans...... At 37, I fight severe hypothyroidism. CAN YOU IMAGINE? Like my lifelong nightmare of weight gain wasn't enough as a child. I guess fear breeds fact.

I was in fifth grade and the only person in adult clothes. Being "pleasingly plump", as my grandma said, went right out the window the day I couldn't button my 18 Husky's anymore. The other kids couldn't know my increase in pants size, but I started noticing how I was treated more. I thought that people were nice to me because they liked me, but I started noticing that they'd drop conversations when I came around. No one called me any names, but I knew I was different and that still hurt.

I remember it well. I was 10 and in figure skating, I had just started to learn some major jumps and had just earned my first solo dance. At one of my practises my coach was 'kind enough' to let me know that my thighs are 'chunky' and that I should lose weight if I want to really be a figure skater.
If I didn't have a healthy self esteem, I think that would have sparked the road to VERY unhealthy weight issues.
But... I ended up with MILDLY unhealthy weight issues. =-I

My very first memory of dieting was when I was a teenager and I was reading a magazine which had an article about an anorexic girl. I saw pictures of her stick thin legs, her toothpick arms and tiny waist and I thought this was beautiful. I starved myself and lost some weight, but was always extremely hungry. Eventually I gave up on my diet and had a massive binge. I put the weight back on and gained so much more than I first weighed, I was so ashamed of myself.

My earliest issue with weight was when I was 16 and I was terribly in love with this boy. We really clicked, we were amazing together, however, he didn't seem to be interested in me as more than a great friend. He flirted, he made me believe that it could work out and then he made out with an anorexic-looking chick right next to me. Her IQ being lower than the room temperature, it doesn't take a genius to see what made him go for her instead of me, the potential soulmate.

I started starving myself when I was in grade 8. Throughout my childhood years I was also called fat by family and classmates. I guess that's what made me become anorexic. After highschool I realized the only way to healthy weight loss was to keep eating and work out. I was always self conscious about my stomach eventho I have a small body frame. I looked skinny eventho I'm not.. not in my fattest areas.

I was always reminded that I was fatter than other children from the time I was young. I loved ballet lessons from a young age but after two years my father had commented that I was too big to be a ballet dancer and that it was a waste of time. My dad also commented later on that I shouldn't take horse riding cause I would kill the horse. My grade 1 teacher commented on the amount of food I ate and that I must store it in my legs! Stupid negative comments like that haunt me even till today!

I've never had weight problems before in my life, therefore I never worried about my weight. I've always been skinny and muscular from tennis, but last summer (I was 18) I took a cardio kickboxing class and I lost 13 pounds. I was tiny and I didn't think much of it. But when college started up I wasn't able to continue the class and I started eating fast food more as well. I gained almost all of that weight back and I'm still not fat. But I do struggle with how much I've gained back.

I was about 8 when I saw a photo taken of me in the backyard. Then I realized for the first time that I was chubby, since I could see my belly under my clothes. No-one told me I'm fat, but I still kept thinking I need to be thinner. One of my closest friends was my skinny cousin to whom I kept comparing myself.
It's sad you start thinking about your looks at such an early age. Why is that? Is it peer pressure, media or what? Children should be playing and not thinking about how they look.

When I was 5 years old my Dad enrolled me in a gymnastics studio where I had to wear a leotard & tights. I was very embarrassed because I thought I was really chubby and ugly compared to the other girls. That first day I went home with my Dad crying that the other girls made fun of me (I don't think they really did, I just hated myself) and that I didn't want to go back. He withdrew me and that was it for my gymnastics career and was the beginning of a lifetime of dieting and self-criticism.

my first memory of dieting was when i was about 8 years old. my family doctor told my parents that i was too overweight and needed to go on a diet. so my parents cut back on a lot of my food intake in order for me to lose weight. it worked, but right after i lost a sufficient amount, they let me eat whatever i want again. BIG mistake because it gained it all back if not more. but before that, i was always tease for how big i was. since i could remember anything really..

The first time was in elementary school when the kids would put me in the not popular category because i didnt look like the ''pretty'' girls. I started to hate going to school and would refuse, that was one of the times my family was most worried about me. Also at that time not being able to do physical activities as well as the other kids could. But, one of the hardest memories though, was of a guy in high school who wouldn't date me because, as he put it, i would ''crush him''.

My mom has always been a thin, tan beautiful blond. And im, well, a more curvy brunette.... from then on ive always had an obscure body image which lead to an eating disorder before high school to which my mom proclaimed in therapy that she never wanted an "overweight" child.

My aunt then said very loudly for the family to hear that I didnt need to eat another sandwich and that maybe she should make mine with whole wheat bread to belifit me. She giggled to make it not hurt but it did.
