Gamers are often the scapegoats of the media sadly, i've covered that in my diploma course and almost had to tell my teacher to shut the @#%^ up when she (why is it usually a woman?) said out loud to the class that game players were losers.
Um, as a married reasonable woman gamer.. I'm going to tell you that woman have a often bent view. If it doesn't involve them, it's not important. So obviously your teacher is someone who thinks Video games are a waste of time, and probably will drop dead from all the stress she's not venting in some game.

I can fast for 3 days+ and barely lose a couple pounds, my metabolism is -that- slow.
Fasting is an extremely poor way to lose weight. Your body thinks it's starving and goes into starvation mode where it hangs onto every little calorie it has. Then you tend to over eat to try and compensate for the hunger you feel when you finally come off of fasting, thus packing on even more weight than you may have potentially lost.
If you want to lose weight and kick start your metabolism, you need to eat 5 to 6 small (HEALTHY) meals throughout the day. That and doing cardio will help you burn the weight off and keep you from over-eating to put it back on.

The easiest way to get yourself into a healthy eating routine is to set an alarm to eat a small meal about once every 3 hours. Even if you don't feel like eating, Have a small cup of yogert or something, 2 handfuls of peanuts maybe. The body's system shuts down and thinks your starving when you forget to eat regularly. + Fasting is unhealthy because after a point your body starts eating your body fat out of desperation, Which is why you'll feel sick. And try to balance the types of foods you're eating. Too much of any one thing is bad for you. Good-luck!
