Hi Cktchat, it is all about you. While genetics may play a part, it is impossible to get fat without overeating. To lose weight you must consume fewer calories than you spend, plain and simple. As for losing weight without dieting, exercising, or spending much money, I have an idea: tie some helium balloons to your Lazy Boy.

This is not - and shouldn't be - about dieting. In my view, dieting is a way of approaching food as the enemy, not a friend or something that sustains us. It's fundamentally unhealthy, both physically and psychologically. It's a programme that constributes to yo-yo self-loathing, makes you feel hungry and constantly like you're going without. No joy in that, is there? Regaining control over your weight is about understanding your approach to food, finding an eating pattern that suits you, and then sticking to it. And it's ok to have the occasional treat too - balance is key. Having come back from holiday recently and much stodgy food I decided to go for it, by eating healthily. I'm not counting calories, following a plan or denying myself, but I have made a conscious choice to eat well - so I'm making fresh soups, whizzing up smoothies, eating lots of veg, lean meat and fish, wholemeal bread and am completely non-dairy. For non-dairy eating, you can still have goat's and sheep's milk and cheese, and they're just as tasty as cheddar or ordinary milk. Or other alternatives like soya, oat or rice milk. I had to go caffeine-free on medical advice earlier this year and it's not difficult - all you do is switch to decaff brands and start drinking more herbal teas. I still have red wine and the occasional bit of chocolate, which I see no reason to give up. But I do drink more water. Often, much of the reason we feel lousy or headachey during the day is because we're dehydrated. Making the transition is only hard if your diet has become ingrained with junk, processed foods, additives, caffeine and excessively sweet things. The main thing is education, knowing what to eat - there's plenty of nutritional information out there on the internet. Or your local health centre can help. Go see what you can find. Giving unhealthy food up is the hardest part. But once you have stopped eating it, the good news is that you'll find your system eliminates the need for rubbish and begins to heal itself - the cravings for burgers or donuts actually go away. Your body begins to want and enjoy good, nutritious food. Your skin and eyes become clear, the weight begins to fall off slowly and naturally and in a way that's more likely to be maintained in the long-term. Reaching my own ideal (BMI) weight would mean losing a stone or so. But right now I'm not sweating it if I don't get there immediately, or even at all. The most important thing is to make the transition to eating well and to keep going, because that's of most benefit in the long run.

I'm 14 and I dont think I'm technically overweight (I'm 5'7 and 130) but I still feel pressure to be skinny. I've tried keeping a food diary but its really hard becuase I'm always really busy and all the diets I've tried don't work. Is there anything easy to do that isnt too time consuming that I can do to lose weight?

Sandra, your BMI is 20.4, which is well within normal limits. At 14 you're still growing and your hormonal system is either kicking in or about to, so you may have weight fluctuations. Seriously, forget peer pressure or celebrities who make it 'cool' to look anorexic - being stick thin is an extremely poor second to being healthy. And forget diets - just eat well, get some regular exercise, make sure you drink plenty of water and avoid junk food or stuff with nasty additives. But above all, stop worrying, you're way too young for all of this dieting lark! Unless you suspect you have a food allergy which is causing your weight gain, there's no real reason to be so obsessed with what you eat. When I was your age I did a lot of sport, ate like a horse (but well - my family cooked a lot of Mediterranean food) and still maintained a very good weight. Take care of yourself. :-)

I think you should be happy of how you are and if you feel good about yourself no matter thin or obese all that matters is your opinion about yourself not other's instead. I am underweight and I just have started to practice bodybuilding I want to gain muscles not fat.
