I KNOW I’m overweight. Can someone help me get on a good diet?
Ok, I’m 12 years old. I know I’m overweight. I usually have been weighing 175-189 in the last couple years. My height is about 5.5-5.8 I know it’s around there. Can someone please help me get on a good diet? I am really cutting it down this Summer I am sick of being the only one in the school being able to do my famous milkshake dance. Although I am proud of my fat for racking me up on the popularity charts it’s pretty sad when you can shoot a pen out of your fat 10 feet. I know lot of people are reading this laughing but hey they’re the immature jerks.
Here are some tips that will help you reach your goal!
1. stock up on fruits and vegetables– those have very few calories and DO taste good!
2. Drink water instead of soda or juice.
3. Try to eat whole wheat and potatoes. Those will keep your hunger at bay and not make you crave foods. Oh! But if you DO find yourself craving foods, have a small portion of it, don’t try to avoid it completely, because the craving will only get stronger.
4. make sure to pay attention to portion sizes too. it helps if you portion it out into a bowl that way you don’t find your self eating too much at once. or even portion out your snacks a week in advance so you don’t over eat.
5. you should record what you eat in a journal. calculate the total number of calories you eat per day and determine if there is any junk you can cut out.
6. to lose weight you might want to eat around 1500-2000 calories per day. DO NOT EAT LESS THAN 1000 CALORIES PER DAY!!!!!! Eating less than 1000 calories can actually cause your body to gain weight.
7. Eating healthy low calorie meals with LOTS of exercise will help you lose weight! aerobic exercise such as running, swimming, biking, or gymnastics is a great way to loose weight as well!
8. Get motivated! If ever you find your self not wanting to get up and go exercise, tell your self to get up and do it. Motivate yourself by thinking about how good you will look/feel if you just get up and do it!
9. another motivational tip, once a week, take a day off and reward your self with something special like your favorite restaurant or something sweet like dessert!
10. Don’t be afraid to drink tea, unsweetened tea has 0 calories and is full of antioxidants that will actually help you lose weight. There are also sweeteners such as Truvia that contain 0 calories and are good to add to tea if you like it sweet! 
REMEMBER: to lose weight you need to have a good Diet AND exercise program having only one will not do you as much good as having both!
this is a very easy plan to follow! as long as you stick to it! and don’t give up!
Good Luck!

The best way to burn fat is to consume less and exercise more, the problems arise when we in reality aim to put that into practice! There are loads of opportunities to fail in the big wide world aren’t there?!
