And the problem with the starvation diet is that it makes it harder to lose weight if you are trying. Starving yourself only makes your body go into a mode where it stores everything [fat, calories, carbss, etc.] because it doesn't know when it's next meal will be.

That's right. One of my friends told me that she saw a show on TV that talked about all different types of diets and which ones are good for you. The starvation diet is really bad and actually might make you gain weight. When you don't eat, your body stores a lot more of the fats and calories which slows down your metabolism. There was an interesting diet though that has you cut down your portions and eat healthy foods and then one day out the the week, you can eat anything you want (pizza, ice cream, whatever) because your body will be thinking "okay, back to normal....lets speed up the metabolism again" and so you will actually be losing weight by eating the things that you want.

On another note, I'm pretty physically active in sports and training for triathlons. When I was in 6th grade I weighed a lot more than I do now but about 3 years ago I started training for a triathlon, and I started losing weight and have kept losing weight ever since. I've lost about 40 pounds all together. I basically eat anything that I want but I only eat when I'm hungry and I stop when I'm full. Most of the time we tend to run to the pantry or fridge if we are bored. If you eat only when you are hungry and stop when you are truly full, you probably will never have that much of a weight problem.
