Ht. 5"1, Wt. 176 - hi my name ia aurora i am overweight and my freinds dont seem to get that it hurts my feelings when they talk about me behind my back about how fatt i am because they are all what the media would consider straight size i am trying to lose wait and i still have a long way to go but i used to think being fat was sooooo humilyating until i sat down with my mom one night after some freinds that spent the night teased me . i was very upset that night and i seemed to be in what i would consider a turtle shell so my mom told me to come into the living room she told me to sit down on the floor infront of her she asked me what was wrong so i thooght about telling her because if there is anybody who was ever treated soo poorly because of there overweight issues it was my mom she was forced to go on a diet when she was only in the first grade and she just recently had a surgery that makes her stomach smaller called gastric bypass surgery she has lost 190lbs and im very proud of her so i told her about what happend and i started crying she told me that most ppl feel the same way and tHAT NO 2 PPL ARE ALIKE NOT EVEN TWINS and that i didnt need to be a bean pole i needed to be healthy and quit the bad eating habits i had and stop walking aroung like the GOODYEAR BLIMP PPL!!! if u want to lose wait u have to except urself first then u say what do i want to change u have to really really want to and when a plate of food is set infront of u EAT IT SLOW DONT SHOVE IT IN UR FACE LIKE THE JOKER IS GONNA STEAL IT CAUSE THERE IS ALWAYS SECONDS!!!. BUT MAKE SURE THAT BEFOR U EAT DRINK 1 cup of water water is a very good thing mainly because it fills u up so u get full faster then once ur stomach has sent the message to ur brain ooo im full. dont eat more .wait atleast an hour and then eat a small snack but make sure its healthy like a carrot stick with some ranch or a cup of applesauce then if u can go for a walk or a bike ride u will have instant gradification because u will realize that u really do have will power and remember u r all perfect in one way or another u just have to realize it aurora
