Am i really fat? My mommy buys be jeans and they fit a month ago but now when i put them on i can't get the button to snap shut because my tummy is too big. My mommy said that they should still fit and that my stomach is too big. When i jump up and down it shakes a lot and it hurts to where pants that snap shut since they are all too tight. I think i am 4 foot 6. And when i was in the bathroom my mommy has a scail so i went on it and the numbers that came up were 124. I don't know what those mean. But am i really fat?
Reply from Maree, Age 35 - 10/25/02 - IP#: 203.220.193.xxx Hi Mina, My names Maree, and I hope I can help you with your issue. I am a mum and 35 years old and I am helping children to learn how to deal with their issues in a positive way. I just happen to come across you this morning while looking up 'Body Temtperatures' for kids. I have 2 children, a boy aged 5 and a girl aged 4. I am living my childhood again, through the eyes of my children. In other words, I know what's going on. I have a really good memory from my childhood and have lived a lot of the stuff that you are going through now. But, I am now over it. So you can be over your issue as well, Right? I am here to help you get rid of this feeling you have from believing you are overweight. So let's get started, O.K? You really need to look at what is going on here. Are other people telling you, who you should be, because thats what 'they' want? Other people are seeing you through their eyes, and the things that they have been through. What they say has got nothing to do with you. They can't tell you who you are. You already know who you are, don't you? Your you!! You're a wonderful 7 year old.... Mina!! Another little treasure to our world to help make the grownups laugh again. We need your happy smile. It's so very important. Let me share somthing with you. Most people haven't got a clue what's going on in our minds. But they mean the best. We have all got to get our minds in order and live by how we feel. We have to take good care of ourselves. We need to be nice to ourselves first!! The truth is, we came into this world alone, we leave alone. But we meet beautiful friends and helpful and loving families on our journey. Then we realise that we are never alone. If you look around you, you will find someone there to help you. I don't know you, but I know where you are coming from. Get your mum aside and tell her how you're feeling, tell her it's very, very important and that she will be glad that she listened to you after you've finished saying what you need to say. Talk to your friends and family who show you love. You 'MUST' believe that you are VERY SPECIAL, just like everyone else is. So what, if you have a couple of pounds. Your still loved and anyway, no-one is perfect, and it is o.k not to be perfect. I'm not, neither is anyone else in your life. Don't listen to people who critisize, they don't understand. Love yourself anyway. It will only help. I'm sure you have wonderful things to share with people to make them smile. And that's what you need to do. Share your gifts, your talents, your love. But you will need to take charge, responsibility here. Don't eat too many things that put on weight. Find a fun way to exercise. Even running around the back yard with the dog is good for you. Keep moving and be active in your mind. Enjoy your life!! Once your childhood is lived out, it's gone. You gotta have fun and run around like a kid does. The weight won't stay on you if you're active. Have nice thoughts about yourself, all the time, and eat good. It's the reciepe for a happy life. You can write to me and we can clear things up a bit more, if you want. The balls in your court. Let me know how you do. Hang Ten, Maree.
