Ht. 4'8", Start: 112 lb, Today: 126 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 70 lb - I really hate myself and I so disgusting! I have always been fat but since last summer I have been trying to lose weight but i have gained instead. My stomach is my biggest problem it has fat rolls. I would like the summer if I could be skinny or just normal but now I hate summer because I look so fat and disgusting in bathing suits or. Shorts and summer tops. I like to swim but I cant swim this summer because of my fat body and disgusting fat stomach that buldges out and I can't hide it. At school they call me fatty and My frinds tease me about my wieght and one girl said an elephant would look like an ant compared to me!!!!! The last time I went swimming my friend said my swimsuit was too tight and I need to get a loosser swimsuit and wear a shirt over the top because my body make her want to throw up. My parents do not help and my clothes always feel tight and uncomtable. Because I am so fat. Sometimes I stand in front of the mirrow and cry and sometimes I cry in bed. I just realy want to find a way to be skinny as quickly as possible!!!!!!!!!!!! Sophiexxxx

Sophie, first of all, you are beautiful, no matter what you weigh. And second, if your friends are saying those things about you, they are not your friends! They are bad influences. They are insecure about their own looks and trying to make themselves feel better by picking on you. But don't believe them. They're wrong.

dont u think that 70 pounds is a little too low?i was chubby too when i was your age,u cant beat yourself up about it though,u r ONLY 10!i know ur worried about how u look,but someone that is ur friend shouldnt say that u make her want to throw up.i kind of "grew into my weight",and then took on a weight loss plan.

Thats a shame. Dont listen to what people say. You are truely beautiful and should never hate yourself. You can swim too, im a little overweight and i swim all the time! If your clothes are ever too tight you should get new ones. you arent ugly. NEVER LET PEOPLE TELL YOU WHAT YOU CANT DO BECAUSE YOU "CAN" DO IT. goodluck

I feel so bad for you all the people calling you fat and an elephant thats just awful. Oh and are you sure that your friend is really ''your friend.''I came here for some help for my cousin shes your age and about your height but I would like to give you some advice ... I'm those type of people if someone says something bad about I brush it right of my shoulder and I'm guessing the reason those people say that type of thing about you is because they have insecurities and to make themselves feel better they thrive off of your humilation. So stand up for yourself where your summer short and tops and rock them and don't hate ypurself ecause everygirl is beautiful weither you think so or not :)

hey sophie!!
I can say i know exactly what you are going through! i have battled an eating disorder, and have had the same experiences and thoughts about the shame and embarrassment of my body! it is a very hard thing to loose weight and then gain it all back and be fat and gross. i h8 it, and right now thats where i am. ashamed. i feel like i can't be me at a bigger size. anyways, i would try journaling all your feelings so you can just get them out instead of letting them build up or ignoring them, because i did this for a long time-no fun. so write down anything you feel or fustrated or anxious about all day long. write it down. also, for the weightloss, i would try a structured meal plan like medifast or weight warchers, or follow a 1600 calorie a day diet or just eat a lot of fresh foods and try cutting back on packaged foods. Be patient, it takes awhile but stick with it! also, try some relaxing yoga :) goodluck!
