Welcome to Gaia! ::

I am so mad!

I have gained so much weight over a year!

I have been trying to eat the rigth portions, the right meals, and exercise.
Though I have gained 10 pounds during a month?

I really don't get it.

Well I am barely into puberty.
Does this have to do anything with it?

I am about 210lbs, and the doctor says I must be 140lbs.

Some help please?
;_;

EDIT-

My mom keeps telling me to take pills, but I keep saying no.
Do you think it would be a good idea?
D:

Yeah, I am wondering if it is my metabalism.
I'll try though.

1. Cut portion sizes.

2. Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, three times a week. If you already do this, add one day a week and/or ten minutes to your current workout.

3. Eat throughout the day, in small portions. Starving all day and then eating a huge dinner not only tricks your metabolism into think it needs to store food as fat because of the famine, but it also can lead directly to diabetes.

4. Eat 2 fruit servings and 3-4 vegetable servings per day. Vegetables don't include rice, potatoes, corn, beans, and peas -- those are starchy vegetables, and count as starch/bread servings instead of vegetable servings.

5. Eat 2 to 3 dairy servings per day. Low-fat or non-fat yogurt, milk, cheese, and so on. NOT butter, NOT ice cream. If you're lactose intolerant, you can use soymilk as a substitute, but make sure it comes with plenty of calcium, and/or take a calcium supplement.

6. Get enough protein. This means two to four daily servings of cheese, fish, eggs, fowl, meat, and soy meat substitutes such as tofu or tempeh. Beans are also good sources of proteins, but they're also starchy, so if you use beans and peas as protein servings, cut down your other starches (bread, pasta, crackers, and starchy vegetables are all starches).

7. Get two teaspoons per day of healthy oils. The healthy oils are olive, canola, flaxseed, sunflower, safflower.

8. Choose whole-grain foods whenever possible: whole grain breads, pastas, brown rice, and rolled oats.

9. Get at least 6 glasses of water per day. Up to three glasses can be any sugar-free, caffeine-free drink. This includes caffeine-free diet soft drinks, tea, Crystal Lite. It does NOT include fruit juice, which is mostly sugar, not vitamins.

10. Take a multivitamin once a day.

The vast majority of people who are overweight do not have a thyroid problem. Check with your doctor and have a thyroid activity blood test, just to be sure. Then stop making excuses and start making better choices. You DESERVE to be healthy and feel attractive, so stop sabotaging your own success. Good luck to you!
