I’m 15, 5"3 and about 67 kilos. I would like to lose atleast 5 kilos before school starts again (if I could get to 60 that would be great but I realise that it would be alot to accomplish in about 2-3 months time) and I was just wondering what would be the best way for me to do this. I do have Wii Fit and plan on using it from here on out, I do like fruits and vegetables so that’s not a problem, but is there anything else I should know? Okay, so I should probably talk to my doctor before, I know, but I’m afraid that if I tell my mum then she won’t let me try and lose weight. Last time I had a health check up my doctor said that my BMI was a little high but it was nothing to worry about as she thought I looked normal and everything, but I’ve had a bit of a rough patch in my life since then and have gained 5 kilos.
I feel really bad about my body as it is and it’s making me feel really depressed which is also cutting into my friendships. I’m VERY self conscious about my hips and thighs (they’re the things I hate most about my body). I don’t mind being curvy, I have been since I started puberty and it runs in my family, I know I will never be totally slim like some girls are and I’m fine with that, but I would just like to have a flatter stomach and alot smaller hips.
I hate mirrors too, because if I look at myself I always feel so bad about my hips. I just want to be able to look at myself in a mirror and not try to only concentrate on my face or something.
I know, this is ALOT of random 15 year old girl mutterings, but I’ve been thinking about this seriously for a really long time. I think I could do it by myself, I don’t have any health problems that would be affected by it, and it’s not as if I’m going to be anorexic or bulimic or anything, that’s too dangerous.
