Help me cope!


Quote  |  Reply

hi my name is julia and right now i have reached my target goal of 67kg.. ( i used to weigh a whopping 94kg!!!!!) im not sure what it is in pounds sorry. anyway im so scared to eat more foods to keep my weight on because it always goes up and down. one day i weigh 66 the next im 68 or something.

i should be eating 2000 calories a day! to me that seems like to much considering i dont do any exercise but walking for more than an hour a day. i do do stretches and stuff for about 20-30 minutes a day. Now heres the bad part about my diet i only consume under 1000 calories a day! im scared to eat more because i've worked so hard to get where i am.

I really need advice on how i should be eating because right now i am totally confused and my parents and friends aren't very helpful. I do eat three meals a day and they seem large but my calorie intake is low. i also have one to 2 snacks a day. and i drink at least 2 litres of water a day and 1 glass of green tea.

oh yeah i am also 14 years old.... 15 in 4 weeks!!!  please help me cause i need to know how to cope!

I've been there before. Sometimes, I think maintaining is worse than losing. The losing amount of calories feels so much safer. It felt scary to start eating more when I got to my goal weight too.

Try adding more calories a little at a time. Add in healthy foods though that have a lot of nutrients. Nuts are good, they have lots of protein, vitamin E, and healthy fats. Try eating some of them. An ounce, about 23-24 almonds, has about 160 calories. Add them to one of your meals or snacks.

Or if you're just not hungry enough to eat more add a healthy drink that has calories like lowfat/skim milk or soymilk. A serving has 100-130 calories. Drinking a couple glasses a day will up your calories with healthy foods and without you feeling like you're too full.
