hello, my name is j, i'm 13, i weigh around 180 pounds, and i want to lose 50 pounds.
i've been struggling with my weight for the longest time. i've always been overweight. when i was a younger child, i obviously didn't worry too much about my weight. but, when i turned nine-ish, my weight started to really get to me.
i tried to lose weight on my own. but, since i was young and naive, it wasn't successful.
as i got older, i tried everything. i exercised more, i tried eating less, and nothing would work. eventually, i tried turning to starvation. i was so scared of gaining any weight that the thought of eating disgusted me. i could barely look at my body in the mirror. there was no results, and i became hopeless.
but, it's been a year, and i'm trying again in a much healthier way.
i am here looking for support and some friends going through the journey with me. do you have any diet tips for girls my age?
