Hey guys, I'm a 16 year old lad and I've recently lost 1 stone and 4 lbs through moderate healthy eating and regular exercise. I've been shopping today and realise just how much my confidence has plummeted since I've lost the weight. I hate my fat body and I want to lose more weight and went I went in Topman today I looked around at the skinny sales assistants and the pretentiously dressed customers and I felt so inadequate. I was going to hand in my CV but because of this reason I felt like I wasn't good enough so didnt' bother. IThe jeans I tried on there were so tight on my legs aswell, I just feel like starving myself so I can be skinny, now that the weight loss has slowed down, I really am on a low. :( ↓

when losing weight you will hit a plateau every now and then where you won't lose anything for a couple weeks. Don't get discouraged,this is just your body adjusting itself to the pounds you've lost. Once your body is adjusted you WILL begin to lose more! :) The key though is NOT to give up!!! Keep eatting healthy and doing some exercise. Keep it up and YOU WILL continue to see results!!!!! Little by little the weight WILL come off!
I'm extremely overweight myself and my problem is i can start a diet but i can't seem to stick to one. and as far asexercise goes,i just wear out too easily so i give up. I need help too! ↑

firstly WELL DONE for losing weight sensibly and well done for losing it. I am 19 and overweight myself and when handing in C.v's and asking for application forms for summer jobs I felt like people were telling me they had no vacancies available because I was fat and I didn;t fit their 'skinny sales assisstant' criteria. It really gets u down I really do know how u feel hunni.
I hate going in places like Topshop and Miss Selfridges and River Island and places like that because I feel like all the shop assisstants are looking at me and judging me like I shouldn't be in there because I am not skinny.
Just keep at ur healthy way of losing weight and ull reach ur target weight and ull feel so proud of urself
