Ok, your health is more important. The school can not require you to eat lunch in the caffeteria or snack bar, they can not stop you from bringing a lunch. Pack a salad, fruit, soup, veggies and dip, lean sandwiches, etc. Make your lunch fun. Even use things like pita bread, homemade pizza slice, natural fruit pies and you can even buy neat snacks at the healthfood stores.
You can always get exercise. Walk to school, go dancing in weekends, get a elliptical trainer or treadmill as a gift (parents may want to know what you want), or go cheaper and get a mini trampoline they will work you out fast. Or even simplier, take 30 mins a day and dance or jazercise to the new exercise videos out there. You have tons of choices.
Eat healthy at home too. Stop the fast food and soda (it packs more pounds on than anything else and just makes big bucks for those companies like Mc D's and Coke. Then start adding in lots of lean meat, eggs, light cheese, veggies, and fruit and have only whole wheat carbs.
You will start loosing in no time. You should lose only 2 lbs per week no more. If you try to lose more your body retaliates and you will gain. It thinks it is starving and turns most of what you eat to fat. THINK SLOW THINK STEADY
Good Luck

Do your best to pick out the better foods. Say a turkey sandwich instead of a slice of pizza or a cheese burger.
I would also suggest if you can do this, try to stick a granola bar in your backpack and eat it as you are walking to class in the mid morning and also around 2-3 in the afternoon.
If you eat several times a day, smaller meals it will speed up your metabloism and you will find that the weight will fall off. Also, give up soda its not worth the calorie intake. If you switch to water the first week you will find you will loose roughly 3-4 pounds, its amazing. Of course its water weight, but it will give you a good boost to keep you motivated!
Good luck! A fellow weight loser (13 lbs in 4 weeks!)

Drink lots of water, cut way back on pop, use it as a treat once a week. Walk around your room while you study, or make flash cards and study while you do the tread mill. They have a deal now to hold books while you do the treadmill also. For lunches, get a slimfast for one meal a day, and then take a salad or fruit and a sandwhich for the other. When you have to go somewhere park farther away so you have to walk more......just look for little ways also you can get some 1 lb weights or use can food to lift while you are reading.........but drink the water all you can it helps a lot, good luck

I understand your frustration.
A wise piano teacher once told me (when I said I didn't have time to practice) that we always make time for things that we want to do.
If you don't find time to exercise now, how do you expect to find time when you're in college? Will you be busy then? How about when you get a new job and are working 80 hours a week? When do you expect to have enough time?
And you're gonna tell me that there are NO honor students on any sports teams? All of the honors students are outta shape?
Actually, I think that if you exercised for 30 minutes a day, your studying would be much more efficient and you'd actually get a lot more done in a lot less time.

School lunches are very bad for you there jam packed with steroids you really need to try to bring a lunch and eat breakfast at home i suggest raisen bran its very good for you and high in fiber.For exercise if you dont have time to go running or walking just spend 30 minutes to an hour in your room walking back and forth without stoping or dancing for an hour anything to get your heart rate up and keep it at a fast pase for a good amount of time

i know highschool food is the worse but your best bet is to not starve yourself and eat little portions. I lost 40 pounds in high school by staying active at least 4 days a week and just limiting portions good luck

How about bringing your lunch to school and pack two healthy meals? (I pack 4 meals a day every day and make them all on Sunday while watching football.) Then do some walking on a treadmill while you read your books for school.
