    If your boyfriend leaves you for someone slimmer, then he didn't deserve you anyway. Don't slim for this reason, slim to be healthier.

    Will power ;)
    Besides if your boyfriend does that proves how shallow he is...

    Do it for you, not for him...

    Exercise - walking is good...
    And control your diet.
    Eat lots of fruit and veg.

    How tall are you?

    Control your diet, and do exercise and I'm sure you can achieve your ideal weight.
    But do it for you and no one else ;)

    You can check here;

    Body mass index - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    But as above, don't lose weight for anyone but you! They're not worth it if they make you feel you have to!

    Hi there, hope your well.

    Two things spring to mind here.

    1. If a person is with someone and loves them, what would happen if the person has an injury which affects there appearance. Would they leave the person. WOULD YOU ? It is true that looks initially atract us to a person, but looks alone make for a very shallow relationship. It is a combination of looks and personality, how they treat you.

    Now it is your decision if you wish to be with someone who is shallow ! (see the film shallow hall).

    2. The body is like a car, it only needs so much fuel to run day to day. Any excess fuel will increase the weight of the car and reduce performance. Therefore only eat the amount of fuel that you need for each day.
    Crash diets don't work, Reduce your intake (smaller portion, eat little amounts but often to give your body constant fuel without feeling hungry and binge eating) Also increase your energy output by exercise. (just like a car, if you work the car harder it uses more fuel, if your not topping it up, it will use the fuel in its tank, i.e. the excess fuel stored in your body).

    First of all you are beautiful as you are. You should never change yourself for anyone, your already slim! He's more than likely not going to be there forever anyway.
    If he really loves you then you will be accepted as you are.
    And if he respects you, other girls (in a sexual way) would pretty much be non existent!
    Never doubt yourself in a relationship.

    All right, here's the deal

    At 15 years old, you're going to naturally obsess over everything that's wrong with your body, everybody does. This is the point where you're starting to enter a new developmental phase and all that touchy feely growth crap I don't feel like talking about - here's the long story short: You'll reach a point when you're happy with the way you look. You might like it now, you might like it in 3 years when your cup size increases magically because somebody upstairs loves you.

    You'd do well to stop obsessing over the way you look, because the ability to be happy with yourself is ultimately what determines your capability of being in a relationship. If you live in the constant fear of being left for somebody better than you, you're basically inviting that to come to your door. Figure out what's going to make you happy and do it.

    Okay here's the deal. I know that celebrities and the media have been pushing this thin stuff for a few years now. But let's face reality right now.


    This is not sexy to a guy.

    This is not hot to a guy.
    http://www.stephenhyun.com/photos/anorexic2pl.jpg

    No guy finds this appealing.
    http://www.legendsofamerica.com/phot...kinnyWoman.jpg

    That's disgusting to look at and truth be told I'd rather have a girlfriend overweight then underweight. Did your boyfriend actually say something or are you just looking at the media and what there promoting? Because from your photo you look fine to me and I don't see any reason to lose weight.

    This is Renee Zellwegger, and I admit I've heard her name but have no idea what she stars in as I don't follow the Hollywood scene but know for a fact that she looks 1000 times better with more weight then she does with less.

    Aah, us men just look at other women all the time, we don't mean anything by it, it's just the way our heads are programmed!

    (I've got a mate who's short-sighted and he actually SQUINTS at women! Scary! Lol!)

    Don't you check out other lads when you're around town or out with your mates?

    First of all, I mostly agree with the posts about you losing weight only for healthy reasons and yourself, and I really doubt your boyfriend will leave you because of that unless he is really shallow.
    Secondly; not to be rude or anything but the diet advice you have received here is not really that great. When I was 15 I all of the sudden gained a lot of weight and ended up with 180 pounds. Today I am taller and weight 160 and is mostly muscular ( I am 5 11). If you want to lose weight you have many choices. I have read somewhere the Atkins diet is the best but I am not sure about your eating habits. What I did ( I am not sure about what you have to do for an Atkins diet or any other but this is what I did) was and you will basically will have to 1) replace most of your foods with protein and possibly try to eat a little bit less but don't starve 2) You will have to lift weights (believe you are not going to gain muscle form this, you will have to eat far more protein and more food to gain muscle. The reason behind this is because when you lose fat tissue you lose muscle tissue as well and you don't want that) 3) Most importantly, you will have to do some cardio; ( ride a bicycle) try to do this at least for an hour, burning 300 calories a day will help but you might have to build your endurance up to that.
    Now, don't take it from me and do some Google about diets and healthy habits and do what fits you the best.

    I'll be honest... I prefer a woman who has more curves on her because of her weight, i.e.. Not too skinny, in fact, not really skinny at all more like what chuff described on the last pictures of Renee Zellwegger. The first one, she looks very attractive and sexy if you don't mind me using this term. In the second one, she still looks attractive but not as sexy and I swear it is to do with her having less weight... Seriously!

    Most men like to see a woman who is slightly fuller than as the celebrities make out you should look like. Skinny is not attractive as chuff has pointed out.

    Love is about accepting others for who they are and if he loves you, he will accept you. Besides, I doubt there is any truth to you being overweight at all, and my thoughts tell me he is probably happy with the way you are. If he isn't then he is not worth it!!

    By the way, we all come in different shapes and sizes and all of us are equal and have equal worth... You must remember that, ALWAYS!

    If you want to lose weight as Capuchin said in his first response, do it for the right reasons, to be healthy.

    Hey Chuff... Renee Zellwegger starred in those movies, Bridget Jones's Diary.. You have to see it, good comedy..

    Yeah, that's what she... 'bulked up' for! I think she looks far better in those films (and they are pretty funny!) than she does now!

    Although she does look like she's sucking on a lemon most of the time!

    I suppose I can give it a try. I just find it hard to sit through movies for some reason. If a plot doesn't grab me right away, I start picking apart the movie, the acting, the plot holes, the lack of consistency in the story, and start predicting the end. I actually annoy people doing that, several years ago, I was watching the Bone collector and 11 minutes in I predicted the murderer, the motive, and the conclusion of the movie, then fell asleep. When I woke up the movie was over and everyboby else that was watching was furious with me, because I nailed everything. It was one of my crowning moments knowing they sat through it and I slept through it and still figured it out.

    Just yesterday, I sat through The Black Dahlia. I could sit here for days writing about the plot holes in that story. That being said I do enjoy a good comedy, and that's my favorite type of movie so I'll give it a shot.
