Ht. 5'1", Start: 104 lb, Today: 158 lb, Goal: 90 lb - I am 158 pounds. I call myself FAT all the time. I have a very cute crush but My stomach is round like a rubber ball. I also have very bad posture that is also a reason I am overweight. I am going to summer camp and you get kid portioned meal so that should help me to stop thinking about food so much. I also have a very cute crush and I want to look hot for fifth grade so he'll like me. Bye

ahhh... i remember when i was in 4th and 5th grade- i remember thats when i got my first huge crush and i was pretty overwieght... it bothered me so much and it still does, dont be like me. get started on loosing weight early. you should ask your parents about healthy food choices and eat a breakfast with fruit everyday. you should always try to get some exercise in your life everyday. try to avoid boredom cravings for unhealthy food. instead of sitting in your bed watching tv and eating popcorn and candies, get up outside and play with friends. get involved in some kind of sport [ i suggest swimteam or soccer] getting that kind of exercise is really healthy and can really help you lose wieght. good luck. i hope you get the figgure and the guys that you want!

Congratulations on starting to get healthy! What you can do for now is focus on boosting your confidence. Try not to call yourself fat and write down 10 things you like about yourself (like good grades or your hair or whatever) whenever you feel bad about yourself. If you're confident it shows and your crush might notice. :D If he's good for you he won't even care what your weight is (I know it's a cliche, but that's because it's true.) You don't want someone who just likes you for what you weigh. Try becoming friends with him for now. Who knows? It might turn into something more.
