Some advice from the book Ultimate Weight Solution
Here are some tips that I found in a book called, The Ultimate Weight Solution for Teens, by Jay McGraw. Hope they help.
Body image: With how you talk to yourself and others about your body. Self image: How you see your personality, strengths, talents, interests, skills, attitude, abilities. Make a goal: Know exactly and specifically what you want. How you plan to get it. When it will happen. What you will do to prevent failure. Create a reasonable time frame to reach goal.
***Example *** ***I want to lose 10 pounds takes 8 weeks, not 2 weeks. If you want to lose weight by March 1st start January 5th. ***
PLAN PROGRAM TO GET YOUR GOAL: -Eat out at a fast food place only once a week -Negotiate with parents to buy healthier food -Learn how to handle stress properly without turning to food
Define your goal in terms of steps: a) eat fresh fruit at lunch b) have two servings of veggies a day c) switch to juice instead of pop d) lose a pound a week e) cut back TV time and do something active instead
