Reply from Ysabel, Age 25 - 05/26/02 - IP#: 65.83.195.xxx First of all, let's talk about your brother: You're brother is wrong for picking on you. Shame on him!!! I bet he doesn't realize how much he's hurting you by saying those mean MEAN things! I am sure he knows and have seen you cry after picking on you but he is so "immature" (shhh, don't tell him I said that, keep it between us) that he doesn't truly SEE that you're REALLY REALLY hurting right now. You know how "boys" are!!! Try this and I hope this helps: Ignore him, ignore when he says something mean, don't even cry about it! Don't show him that it bothers you when he says those BAD BAD things. And if you really really hae to say something to him, say this: "IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME ANYMORE" and continue doing what you were doing, don't even flinched!! And if he says something again, don't cry! Continue to pretend it doesn't bother and when your brother sees that those "mean things" he says to you...doesn't bother you anymore, I bet he'll cut down or even stop making fun of you! Remember, even though he says those mean things to you, I bet you a million bucks he still "loves" you! Secondly, let's talk about Mom: Ashlyn, Mom loves you and all she's trying to do is help! She will do anything to help you! You may think this web-site is "stupid" or whatever...but I think it's really really great. You get to see kids you're age going thru the same thing you're going thru. Kids (or parents) can give you advice or what to do or should do and you, my dear can do the same thing! You never know, you may be able to help someone or mayble even helps eachother, and even make new friends! Thirdly, LOOSING WEIGHT: Sweetie, drink lot's of water, NO SODA!!! Drink water all day long. You may sometimes feel that water is to "boring" so try powerade or gator-ade drink. Keep yourself active. Help mom shop for groceries and even help bring them into your home. Help outside is the backyard, rake leaves, even take out the garbage. Have "Mom-and-Daughter" walks. Up the block or something. If you like dancing, tell MOM to get you Britney Spears (if you like her) and dance in you room. Or better yet, get those exercise video for kids!!! Try it!! Then when loose weight, your brother really won't have anything to say about you weight!! :) I really, really hopes this helps! AND TO YOUR MOM: Mom, you are really REALLY great! Thank you for making an effort to searching the web to help your daughter. We need more Mom's like you around. Ashlyn, looks like you have a grrrreat Mom!!! Take care, Sweetie If you would like to e-mail me, you can at ysabel76@yahoo.com. Remember to ask Mom first before you email me and anyone else that gives you an email address on the internet. I would love to hear results. Also consider seeing a Nutrionist...it's an option - keep it open. -Ysabel
