How to lose weight and become good looking

It would make me LESS attractive if I had the Glaswegian accent, which essentially ties me to being from that awful city.

I'm gonna be honest - no one identifies your accent... maybe other Scottish people.

If I heard you talking i'd be like 'Oh a Scottish dude' not 'BY GOD! He's Glaswegian, I bet shoots heroin in his big toe and beats foxes to death with bottle of buckfast.'

My thoughts are to limit junk food intake to 1 item per day, and for select days in the week, to cut down to 2 meals per day. In addition, I am getting off the train one station early and walking a bit further to get to school.

I wouldn’t recommend cutting down to two meals a day; research shows that it’s healthier to have lots of small meals, so don’t avoid snacking/multiple meals, just change what you’re eating. The one junk item a day rule will help though! Perhaps give yourself a cheat day rather than monitoring every day though, perhaps every Saturday. Then you won’t miss the food so much and are more likely to stick with the new routine.

I also recommend you get creative in the kitchen; if you understand food and cooking then you’ll have an easier time keeping a varied diet and that will keep things more interesting.

I’d suggest some small steps to start with might be things like substituting white bread for brown, swap out some of your pasta for whole meal, introduce a side-salad to replace some of each meal etc.

I don't really cook, so I can't necessarily control what I am given, but thanks for your other tips. I think the 1 junk food a day rule might be a decent solution, and avoiding snacking between meals.

You don’t cook... so give it a go? Start simple with pasta, beans on toast and gradually work your way up. Maybe it’s not for you but you might also find you love it! Knowing my food in terms of cooking reassures me that I know what I’m eating, and it can work out a lot cheaper as well!

Well, I can do beans on toast. It's a bit tougher if I am living with parents, but will give it a go once I move out in 18 months.

Or you could ask them to help you out? Even if they don’t cook you could try cooking one night a week for the family. I used to do that before I went to uni and there were a few disasters but I’m so glad I did it wrong at home!
Edit: I’d also love my boyfriend to have a Scottish accent, I find it so hot 😍

Sorry if I am asking too many questions on this forum, but I need to talk to people, so here I am!

I am a 16 year old guy and have been overweight for several years. I am fed up with it and want to change, especially because I want to get a boyfriend in the not too distant future. I wouldn't want to date an overweight person, so ultimately I need to lose weight myself before putting myself on the market. In addition, I want to be good looking and generally attractive. I am worried that this may hold me back.

Does anyone have some tips?

Thanks!

My parents aren't great cooks, so I think that both me and my younger sister would rather give it a try ourselves. Will wait until I am done with my exams for this year as they seem quite intent on me not doing anything in the kitchen if I have studying to do, even if I offer.

BTW - I personally find the Scottish accent, and being from Scotland in general to be a complete turn off. English all the way for me! It's rare that I have found one attractive, with the exception of the character Oliver Wood from Harry Potter. He managed to make the Scottish accent sound really sexy, so hats off to him.

If you're someone who enjoys your food, especially the unhealthy kind, then don't eliminate the things you like just to look a certain way! It's easy, trust me
- smaller portions of junk food, bigger portions of healthy food.
- you only need to "diet" a few days per week. So Tuesdays and Thursdays eat less junk and cut extra calories. Rest of the days exercise for 30-45 mins doing cardio, weights etc whatever you want to do!
- DROWN YOURSELF IN WATER. Not literally but yeah, lots of h20. If you don't like water then a few glasses of semi-skimmed milk plus it has lots of goodness which means health benefits! Pure orange juice and apple juice is good too! Fizzy and sugary drinks are the enemies here!
- soak up vitamin D! Not too much though for obvious reasons. I find spending a couple of hours in the morning or late afternoon outside when the sun is shining gives a healthy glow.
- spend as much time as you can outside in the fresh air! Whether that's through exercising e.g. biking, walking, running, hiking, working, meeting friends just find an excuse to always be outside!!! Fresh air does wonders for the skin and overall look of your face and makes your eyes look brighter!
Hmmm what else...
Dress in clothes that compliment you and make you feel good!
Get your daily sugar fix otherwise you'll go mad trust me that's if you're into sugary treats like me!
- just a few tips I find helps for me and everyone else I know!
...btw... did anyone ever tell you intelligence, humour and kindness are the most atttactive qualities of them all?! The aim should be to look after yourself and make YOU feel good so YOU will look good. Then it will fall into place and the boy will come along at the right time.
Trust me!
