TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
I am always hungry, always! I'm overwieght and trying to eat less but its too hard at school they give me candy, at home I can have as many snacks as possible, I've been trying so hard. The scale says I've lost 3 lbs. in 3 weeks but I don't notice a difference in the way my clothes fit or look.
TEEN LINE WROTE:
Hey, thanks for emailing us here at TEEN LINE! It must be so frustrating when you try to eat better, and you don't see the results you want. It's really fantastic that you lost three pounds though! That's something to be proud of. Sometimes, you don't notice a difference in the way you look or how your clothes fit right away. Temptation can definitely make it difficult to handle when you're working hard to eat right. I'm wondering if there are any hobbies or sports you're interested in? It may be a great way to get some exercise in, and do something you enjoy! Writing in a journal may also be a good way to relieve some of these feelings of frustration. Also, have you thought about talking to anyone about this? Maybe a trusted adult, or a school counselor? They may be able to give you some support on your journey. You can always call us here at TEEN LINE. We're here every night from 6PM-10PM PST at (310)855-4673.
