Answers:
You know, the first thing you NEED to do is the last thing you want to do - tell your parents how you feel!. Or if you really really can't face that idea, speak to an auntie or some other SENSIBLE adult who can help you out in person!. You are only 13 hun, you shouldn't be worried about your weight!. I know society makes us all body watchers these days but it's so sad to see you suffering with this already!. You are not fat at that weight at your age!. There are kids out there who for the good of their own health need to loose weight, but you do not seem to be one of them!. It may be that you are turning emotional issues in to physical ones and seeing your self as something you are not, or trying to take control of your 'weight' becaus ethe rest of life seems so uncontrolable!. What ever the underlying cause of your problem, it is unlikely your actual weight that is wrong!. How ever I know how hard this is when you look at your self in the mirror and see what you see, it will be hard to beleive you are ok, let alone beautiful!. So please, I urge you, confide in a nice auntie, or your mum or someone, and let them give you some real advice in person!. Perhaps they will be able to mak eyou feel better about your self and tell you what you need to do to be happier!. I hope you can talk to your mum!. I would be devestated if when my daughter got to your age she posted something like this and felt she couldn't tell me how she felt!. I reckon your mum would want to know how you are feeling!.!.!. give it a go!?!?!?

You must count calories and at least in initial stages write down what you are going to eat and when then stay on that list!.

Please read my article on this subject and follow them!.
While at it build your body too, while reducing by doing body parts specific exercises!.

If you are not too old, then best way to reduce your weight is to increase your height!.

Vegetarians have a big advantage, in loosing weight, it cost less and they can satisfy the hunger more easily, some vegetables have only a few calories per pound, so they can fill themselves up with it before enjoying each meal, and never go hungry!.

Most people should take one a day water soluble multi-vitamins when on this program; they can be purchased at the pharmacy near you!.

Increasing the Height
By
minootoo

In rare cases, you can increase the height up to age 30!.

Cycling is good exercise and fun too!.

You need to adjust the seat so that when you paddle from seating position you will actually stretch your legs, it is a difficult position but doable!. For safety you need to be on track and not in traffic, safety first!.

The FEW things I did at least helped me!.

Swimming!.

Not just playing in water, but serious laps type swimming, do not try to beat the clock but steady full strokes swimming!. Remember slow and steady wins the race!.

Stretching exercises on floor!.

Find them on line!.

Chin ups!.

Full stretch type!.

Swinging from a rope!.

Full stretch climbing!.

In other words do things that require stretching!.
STRETCH-STRETCH-STRETCH-STRETCH

PS

In the morning after good night sleep every one is about 1/2 inch to 1 inch taller!. This is because the soft tissue between the bones recovers during the time when there is no weight on them!.

Older people loose height due to bone loss!. I was 5', 7'' I am only 5', 5"!.

Issue of Genes:

You know only the active genes but genes can stay dormant for generations!.

I believe that every one has some tall height genes, dormant or active; I again believe that certain exercises can activate those!.

Again Swimming:

You will start out with half a lap and build up day by day, half a lap at a time!. Then you will swim non stop for 1/2 an hour!.

The speed is not important but you must use various strokes and do them correctly, completely, slowly and perfectly!. This way you will have full stretch, and its benefit!.

Eating healthy foods and taking rest as specially sleeping soundly at night is very important!. Most people need 8 hours of good sound sleep per night, some need more and few get by with 4 hours only!.

In the mean time use high hills and take advantage of hair-do, wardrobe can do wonders too; vertical striped clothing can create a taller look for most people!.

Hormones:

Under strict supervision of a doctor they do wonders but the side effects are delayed and unpredictable so doctors do not like to use them!.

Surgical Procedures:

There are surgical procedures but most doctors will not do them till the person is 30 years or so!. They also have to be very short!.
