first of all dont go crazy and start eating or start throwing up after eating. IT DOES NOT WORK IN THE LONG RUN. you will only be hurting yourselves.





try cutting all sodas (even diet!!!!). drink lots of water- at least 8 8oz cups a day. eat lots of fruit and veggies. avoid fried foods and all fast foods. cut back on candy. eat three balenced meals a day, with a snack under 200 calories inbetween breakfast and lunch, and then another between lunch and dinner. make sure you do not let your calorie count drop to below 1200.





start working out. get a gym membership. do 30 mins of cardio 3x a week. if working out isnt your think, try joining an aerobics class, like zumba or jazzercize. they play popular music and give good routines.





but remember, you are only 14. you need to live a little. you have your whole life to eat healthy. at 14 your metabolism high, so you will be able to eat more now and not gain then when you are 40. and also remember you are still growing- so it is VERY important to not starve yourselves now.
Keep on saying ';So That';





Ask yourself ';Why do I want to lose weight'; and after you come up with a reason why... Just keep on saying SO THAT.





For example - Why Do you want to lose weight...





I want to lose weight to look better SO THAT...


I can feel more confident about myself SO THAT...


I can be the best looking person at my high school reunion SO THAT...


I can see the surprised looks on the faces of my classmates SO THAT...


I may be able to go on a date with the person I had a crush on in high school


Can you see what's happening here?


The more times you say SO THAT the more and more motivated you'll become to lose weight.
