I know that the majority of the kids on this sight are younger than I am, but that really doesn't matter because at you age I was pretty big(overwieght.)I have always struggled with my weight and now at the age of 18 I way 210 lbs. I am really depressed and am finding it harder and harder to keep going with my life. I would just like to here from some of you! Thanks.

hey im around ur age too. just wandered upon this site actually. im 17, and ive always been overweight. ive never been unhealthly really fat, because im like 6'2, but my highest was 210 lbs. that was a few months ago, now im down to 190 and i still have about 20 more lbs to go til im really really slim, but trust me it feels so good losing this weight. and really i didnt do anything. i didnt even try.. seriously, CUT OUT THE JUNKFOOD! thats AAAAAAAALL i did. i dont even drink water or anything, but i just cut out the junkfood and desserts and its done wonders! it may not work for a long long time cause ur body will get immune to not eating the junkfood, but it will put u off to a great start, and u can still save urself one day of the week for a real treat. goodluck! keep me posted!

I find that most of my body is semi OK but I have such a huge fat tummy. I feel really gross and I never seem to be able to control myself when confronted with something like chocolate. HELP!!

At 12 your body is still developing and changing and that big tummy will almost certainly go down as you get older.
Regarding the chocolate, well I am/was a total chocaholic. The first thing to remember is that chocolate is addictive and more-ish. To cut out chocolate completely sounds like it would be too painful but why don't you give yourself an allowance every day of a small amount and savour that small amount? If you can't do that and feel you are going to end up eating the whole chocolate bar then you really are going to have to avoid it altogether and avoid the places that sell it. Also, leave yourself with no money in which to buy it so you can't be tempted.
