Hii im only a teenager but i know i am around 10lbs over weight,,,im a vegetarian (although i eat SOME fish) and the only one in the house,,i have tried dieting before but often gave into temptation as many people in my family can eat loads and not put anything on,,so theres always chocolate and crisps in the house, i'm really fussy about fruit and if it has marks on i'm not likely to eat it, so usually i dont!

I feel to embarrassed to go out and run in case people would see me and laugh, although i know i need to do more exercise!

If anyone out there can help me then please reply as i need all the help i can get!

xsmilex

Most of this is just a lack of confidence as ive never heard of someone laughing at another person for trying to lead a healthier and more active lifestyle


if you dont feel comfortable about running outside, walk. Buy a jump-rope and do it in the house. Do push-ups, sit-ups.

You should never be embarassed about who you are.

I'm in the same situation, my family are forever eating junk food. To reduce my cravings I have a little everyday - say a couple of squares of chocolate or somthing

About the exercise, I usually run around fields where there aren't many people, if you live near to any you could try this. I also cycle everywhere rather than use the car/bus

For 10lbs, exercise really is going to help a lot. There's no reason you should be embarassed about running or walking to get in shape.

Heyy okaii thanks for the help,,i really need to get serious!! Do u think, situps, pressups and walks will be enough? x

The problem is with me i dont think i'd be able to stop i was thinking maybe buying smaller bars? x

Thanks a lot im gonna give it a try! xx

Don't worry, I used to be embarrassed about running too! I always hated it, but one day I thought to myself..."Have YOU ever pointed and laughed at someone that was jogging?" And the answer was NO!
