Anyway, I'm a 15 year old kid from the UK, soon to be 16, who is 80kg, which I think is around 178lb with a BMI of 24.5, which is close to becoming overweight. Now, I understand that compared to the vast majority of people, I'm not that unhealthy, but I really want to lose some wieght, get down to around 140 to 145lb, so I can:
a) Live healthier.
b) Live happier.
I hate it when I meet new people, I feel uncomfortable and scared due to the fact I think they're judging because of my weight. Also, due to pretty much all my friends, male and female, being slim and healthy, I kind of feel like the odd one out, even though they dont make me feel it.
Also, lately I've found out that with this weight, I can do a decent long distance run, push myself to do well, so if I was less heavy I would be able to run longer and faster, which is always going to be a positive.
So, its all good at the moment, all I've got to do is get on a healthy diet, do some daily exercises...well, not exactly. I cannot tell my parents, it's not that they would flip or do anything, I just know that they would feel uncomfortable, and so would I. I can't go on a diet, because they put a plate in front of me and tell me to eat it. They don't have time to fix me up something else, they're working.
Also, I'm lazy. I have tried to lose weight before, but had no real ambition and felt self-concious of those who saw me losing weight. It just sucks basically.
I want to, and know how to lose weight, I just dont have the confidence, the time or the encouragement to do so.
Any tips?
Thanks in advance,
