Since i can remember ( which turns out to be since about gr.7 ) i have always had a weight problem. I have always been the heaviest of all my friends ( the girls at least ). In gr.7 - 8 i remember i was about 5,3 or 5,2 and i weighed around 130 - 133. Far to much for my age and height. I found as i entered gr.9 i drasticly lost about 15 pounds i was around 115. This was done by hardly eating, a terrible way to lose weight, but at the time i was happy because i was just like everybody else. As gr.9 continued i lost more weight, i think by the end of the school year i was down to .. 109? 106. i stayed that weight until halfway through gr.10, and i ballooned up again, i think i gained 20 pounds. by the end of gr.10 all the way through gr.11 i weighed 136 - 137. I was miserable, and eating everything in sight ( at all hours of the day ). I tryed joining a gym but i only lost about 5 pounds i managed to weight about 132 ,131. Then near the beginign of gr.12 i had a new relationship and i was all excited and i found i didnt feel like eating , i physically couldnt. i geuss it was all the excitement of having a new relationship. I dropped down to about 121 from 133 in 2 weeks. Again not good. I maintained that until feb and then ballooned up AGAIN . i was up to 133, 135 . I hadent been going to teh gym all year so i thought i wud start again. i managed to loose 8 pounds since then , and i'm 126 - 125. But i feel like i cant see it, and my problem area has always been my waist , and i feel like its the fatest part of me now, even though ive lost more weight. Im totally miserable, but when i lost the weight before , and i was down to 125 i felt great, and thin , now i feel fat still. My goal is to be 117 or even 120 and i know it will take some time , healthy eating ( which ive been doing for about 4 months now ) and working out at least 3 times aweek, its just so tough..
Does anyone feel the way i do? totally crappy and discouraged that they will never have a flat toned tummy? HEEEELP... thanks for reading.
 
How much do you weigh now? It sounds like you've always stayed in the same general range. Except for the 109 you ranged from 115 to 130. How old are you now. As and adult being 130 you would not be overweight, unless you have an extremely tiny frame. Maybe the issue is more toning and muscle strength than weight issue
 
You'll feel better about your outside appearance once you become satisfied with who you are inside. Sounds corny, I know, but it's true.

Think about it: ever look in the mirror, feel totally confident, know you're just hott? Those days don't come too often for me anymore, but sometimes I can feel it, and I'm right on. Now there are days I look in the mirror, I'm ugly and fat, no one could bear to look at me, I don't even want to. Both feelings are looking at the same body, just different perspective.

Now if I get in the mode of exercising on a continuous basis, eating healthy, and taking care of myself, my insides start to agree with my outsides.

Hopefully, I'll straighten out the balance one of these days. :) I'm working my way into that today. Contrary action: my head tells me "NO" my body and heart go opposite - I go work out, I treat my body to a good, healthy meal instead of polluting it with junk.
 
honestly, it sounds like your metabolism may be a little messed up from you losing weight by not eating, and also yo-yoing. I think you should try to make sure you eat every three hours. like, eat breakfast then 3 hours later a balanced healthy snack that contains some healthy carbs and protein along with a little fruit. then 3 hours later a healthy lunch and so on. it was once explined to me that your metabolism is like a fire. if you put a huge log on the fire, the fire will get somthered and die out. if you keep adding smaller better logs to the fire it burns continuously. pair that up with cardio at least 3x a week and i think you'll be on fire!! good luck!

thanks , ive been trying to do that latley, i have been doing my cardio at least 3 times a week, the eating ive still gotta fine tune, but i think im getting there! :) :) thanks for the advice!
 
thanks to romanovictoria and 2big4texas as well.
i definatly have days that i cant bare to look in a mirror , but ur right some days ive had where i do feel confident. Latley, its just been really tuff. But by changing my old habits and continuing with my healthy new ones i think im on the right track. Thanks to everyone for the advice n support. i never do things like this, but i just needed to get out how i was feeling and i wanted to see if there were people who were confused and frustrated about the same things as i was/am.
 
I'm in a similar situation my friend - I know how frustrating it is! I just discovered this website, and I'm going to give it a shot. Amazing how people reach out to one another!!! We'll be there for you!
 
Hey there!...Just some questions....How tall are you and what is your age?.....Have you ever had a body fat analaysis?.....Remember muscle weighs more than fat......AND usually if you want to lose a tummy...cardio is suggested....hope you find out what may work for you
 
Trust me , It's not muscle :p
I have a scale that actually shows ur body fat amount. Mines not bad for my age and height ( 18, 5'4 ) but the tummy is where all the fat just seems to collect.
Day by day im finding its getting a bit easier , today im feeling a bit better about how i look but also guilty because ive been sick for the past 4 days and i havent been able to do my usual cardio! it sucks!
I should be back on my routine soon though, just gotta get rid of this cold!!
thanks for your advice! :D
