Reply from Lindsey, Age 11 - 07/21/07 - IP#: 207.200.116.xxx I have a lot of friends who are thin. Actually, all of them. I hear my friends say things like "OMG she is soooo fat!" Not about me but aboutother people and I think, what do they say behind my back? If people are judging you, you have to push it aside and get over it. As for losing weight I don't really have much to say. Dancing is a great way to burn calories and still have fun so sign up for a dance class or even just dance around your room with friends. If you lose the weight, imagine how good you'll feel. You will feel happy, proud, and accomplished, among other things. Think of what the bullies will say when you start getting all the guys and they are yesterday's news. That always helps me. Remember these quotes when you feel like eating- "Eat to live, don't live to eat" and "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels." It helps, trust me. Take a before picture of yourself and make a cute little sign with these qoutes on it, along with a space for an after picture. Put your goals on it and decorate it so it looks really good, with sparkles and cardstock and stuff. It is a really good motivator! Good luck and if anyone can give you that little push, we can!

(friend) they may say that I am not fat and then you have a gut feeling saying yea right but sometimes you just have to understand your other talents and WORK them out like I love singing and I Work it out find your talent and find someway to show that being over weight does not HAVE to be an issue with every thing! So if your friends are a healthy weight maybe get some tips from them don't be shy.....but find some info that are consterble with... so if you have any tips for me tell me thanks!
