Wondering about weight... (please be serious)?!
Question:
Wondering about weight... (please be serious)?
I don't know who else to ask.
I am almost sixteen, I am five foot two, and I weigh one hundred and thirty pounds.
Should I lose ten or so pounds? I am pretty active (run about a half an hour a day), and I eat fairly well (not going to say I don't endulge in pizza or ice cream every once in a while).
If I should- how should I go about doing it? Just plain old exercize isn't really working.
Also- I have strech marks on my theighs. How do I get rid of them? That cream didn't work... I used it every day for a few months and nothing happened.
Answers:
The stretch marks won't go away - they'll get lighter and less noticable but they'll still be there.
As long if you're not decided wether you should or shouldn't lose weight, it seems that you'll be more comfortable with yourself this way.
If you run 30 minutes every day, your body got used to it. Try some other exercises - abs, lifting weight etc. It is proven that beginners to a sort of exercise get more benefit that the ones who do it constantly. Don't give up running, but switch to an additional type on exercise every week. This week you'll be working on your legs, the next on your hands etcetera. Also, when you have the opportunity, walk instead of taking the bus and climb the stairs instead if taking the elevator. Do you like swimming? You should, it strechens almost all the muscles and it's fun too.
You should check your eating too. As far as I'm concerned, fast food is really, really bad. I've felt it on my own skin (and weight). But as you said, you eat pretty healthy, so I don't think it's your case. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and don't eat (too much) in the evening. Drink a lot of water (or tea) instead of fizzy drinks.
If you are looking to eat a little bit less, here's another trick: brush your teeth. Brush them really, but really good, for about 3 minutes. When you'll feel like having a snack, you'll feel your teeth so clean and you won't want to brush them so good all over again.
Good luck!
