I just turned 17 4 days ago and I weigh the heaviest that I've ever weighed in my life, I'm 155 and 5'6. I promised myself all my life that I would never go over 150, EVER, but I did.

I have went on the 1,500 calorie diet with high intence cardio exercise three times in the last 1 1/2 years, getting my weight all 3 times to 128 lbs. and each time I've gained it all right back, now I'm worse than ever.

Along with the stress of gaining it all back, as well as going through "teenage" times and stress, I've managed to settle down, but every single day for the last 8 months I've eaten like a huge pig saying I better eat up! Tomarrow I'm starting my diet! But at the same time the media is saying curves are great now! So I will have a 'it good' attidude If I were 180+ lbs...I just don't know...

Which path should I take? Low calorie again? It is the ONLY thing that works but I'm afraid of gaining it back. I need to change but I DON'T want to gain it back again. Healthy life style change don't work, its not enough to loose this weight, what can I do?

All my life I've wanted to be 17, and now I'm fatter than ever and I don't don't have any confidence in the least bit, I'm embarresed to eat or go in public, I can never wers tigh clothes I always have to wear baggy clothes to cover myself up.
 
Hi there. Healthy lifestyles do work. I've been living it my whole life. It's the only thing that does work.

And if you choose to lose weight the right way, eat the right foods, exercise your hair, skin, eyes, everything will look it's best. You will be the best you can be inside and out.

Emotionally and mentally it will be difficult to cope with a diet lacking in nutrients or calories if you do not take care. Sure, you might end up thinner, but inside you will be a mess. Then what happens? You'll probably start a vicious cycle of crash dieting forever or end up depressed, confused and more.

You are feeling overwhelmed because you want this right now. Set yourself a date, a goal. Accept that you are overweight now, but understand that by that goal you will not be.

Then get to work. Believe in yourself and what everyone else is doing.
