I'm 18 and i gained 50 lbs within a year because i moved in with my father because of problems with my mother. I also started getting comfortable around my boyfriend (the first month is always awkward.. you dont want to let them see you pig out and stuff).. then we both really liked to snack.. so we did.. ALL THE TIME. haha. Then i started college, and all my time was there, so i ate out a lot. it added up fast. I just joined.. i've only lost 4 lbs.. but here is what i suggest:
Take baby steps. Dont expect yourself to be disciplined overnight. Make one goal for yourself every week. My first was to drink 3 water bottles a day. Then maybe try to take chips, or something out of your diet. Whatever it is you find that you think would help.

I also suggest counting calories. i try to limit myself to 1500 calories per day. I like to find something motivational every day. Just to keep myself motivated for the next day.

Set little goals for yourself, but dont ever deprive yourself of something.. because then you'll crave even more. if you are dying for chocolate.. instead of having a hershey's bar, have a hershey kiss..only 30 calories for one. i try to avoid soda, chips, and chocolate... but i even broke down today and had 5 hershey kisses. But i watched my calorie intake all day.

I try to eat at subway,or Quizno's when i want to eat out somewhere...


good luck..you can do it, and we'll help you along the way..
