From eric, Age 11

Ht. 4'8, Wt. 167 - im about 80 lb overweight and i need to lose this weight soon because its too much to carry around. before 3rd grade i was chubby but then i started getting really heavy. this school year was worst when i gained 40 lb. i get so tired just from walking and my ankles hurt to run. imagine wearing a 80 lb backpack and you cant ever take it off no matter how hard it is to carry and thats how i feel. being fat is so uncomfortable even at night its hard to sleep because of this gut and it being hard to breathe. so the next day im tired when i wake up but i still have to carry all the weight around. the docter put me on a weight loss plan and i hope i can lose some before school starts. how i look doesnt matter right now i need to get lighter to feel better and not go back to school in tight clothes to sit in a tight desk. when youre not too fat you worry about if people tease you but when you get really fat its miserable. maybe i think they wouldnt tease so much if they knew its so uncomfortable to carry 80 lb extra and never get a break.
