I’ve just started in the past couple of weeks to be really committed to dieting and exercising. I’ve cut out soda (replacing it with water and tea) and decided not to eat processed foods anymore. I’ll give you a daily run down of my diet. Breakfast: 2 boiled egg with pinch of salt and pepper (I eat only one of the yolk from those two eggs)1 whole wheat toast with a wee bit of butterTea with milk and splendaLunch: Spinage salad with chicken (the toppings and dressings change from day to day, but usually consists with a fruit and vegetable or two, a few nuts, and a tablespoon or two of dressing. )1 piece of whole wheat toast –OR–A piece of fruit–ORA 100 calorie pudding cup (if I need chocolate )Supper (or Dinner, however you say it):This changes from day to day, but usually consists of some sort of lean meat or whole grain pasta, a small salad, and some munchie veggies. Snacks:Fruit 100 calorie snack packs (I throw them in my purse for if I get hungry somewhere)Muchie veggiesNow, for exercise. . . . I’m working on that. (Teehee ) I just started exercising regularly and I’m trying to do 30 minutes of cardio everyday and around 10 minutes of ab stuff, like crunches are sorts. I do shop with my friends, which results in walking around the mall, and I love playning Wii. My favorite Wii games are Wii Fit, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Mario Kart. I know that Wii Fit is designed for fitness and for dueling in HP, you sweat A LOT. But Mario Kart isn’t very aerobic. I am 15, almost 5’3, and I honest to goodness don’t know what I weigh. I imagine just barely 100 lbs, but I don’t weigh myself alot because I don’t want to obsess over it. My friends, especially my best friend, are all really concerned about me. When I go out to eat, I special order all my meals to get rid of bad stuff. They get really freaked when we go out for pizza and I only eat 2 slices, soaking off all the oil and taking off the cheese. I honestly just don’t want junk in my body. Sure, I’m trying to get toned up but not lose a ton of weight. All my friends say if I keep doing this, “It’ll lead to an eating disorder!” and that what I’m doing is not normal. Well, to be honest, I see how my friends look. And I don’t want to look like that. I’m trying to develop habits that will help me for the rest of my life and trying to take care of the one body I have. So, tell me, does it sound like I have a “problem”?

Hey guys,Hopefully this will be my last question for a while. I tend to ask too much!Well, I suppose I come here to ask this as way of reassurance, hoping some of you out there will give me some relief and hope. You know, make me feel okay with my some what of a decision. So, here it goes. . . I’ve tried to become a Vegetarian in the past and I was one for 6 months until I got sent away to a youth group home, (Sorta) well it was hard being there and having three meals a day, (Plus snacks) where everyone else was eating what I didn’t want. So I eventually gave in and started eating meat again. I’ve been eating meat for almost 19 years now, except for those 6 months that I didn’t consume it. I’d wish that I didn’t enjoy it but I do. There’s some I don’t like, but some I can’t see myself not eating. And I’m not the best person at making decisions, if I could, I’d have somebody do it for me and tell me what to do, every second of the day, sadly I haven’t found someone to do so yet. Anyway, it’s sad to see how these animals suffer, seeing painful videos of what they go through for us to have meat and other animal products. A lot of discussions say well “God” intended for us to all be VegetarianVegan and then a lot say he told us to eat meat. So, it’s very confusing for me, (I don’t believe in “God”, so it’s not like I’m trying to go about what “He” wantswanted us to do, just saying. ) If he wanted us to eat meat I’m sure it would’ve been in a nature-like way, when the animals die off, you’d eat em’ that way. But not the way they are going now, in the factory farming industry, etc. And so on. . . I hate making desicions and this one is a big desicion, I’ve seen parents with their kids who are even Vegan. Way to go to the little peoples! To think that they can do it, I feel guilty that I cannot, not so much as I can’t as in I won’t. I want to though, don’t get me wrong. . . just don’t think it’s time now, I’ll get into that in a minute. I sure do wish I had parents when I was little to be Vegan or at least would have told me how it was with the animals and then maybe I would have gotten to decide then on what was best to do, maybe the factory farming wasn’t as bad as then, who knows. . . So, basically I want to know if what I am doing is right by someone else’s eyes and point of view, or if I am just a bad person and wrong for how I feel or something like that. >.
