I'm overweight! I weigh 215 lbs and am only 11! Everyone in my school says "Dani, you're not fat!" I am, though. I am not too tall, about 5"1'. I can't see any sign of me looking any which way skinny. I'm so insecure and have mad low self esteem. I am a lazy bum, I will admit this. But, my momma won't let me go outside ever, though! I ask her every day and all she says was "No, but you can go sit on the porch," in a serious way. This boy Andrew in my class is my friend, but he always makes fun of my fat and rubs it all in. I never shot any smart remarks to him because he's really short! Also, this boy Ali can never stop acting like a big baby around me. This one girl Twannisha was talking to one of my friends, Connie in the lunch line, whispering to Connie about my size 18 waist. I heard over it, and I was extremely hurt. Sometimes, I don't care what people say about me. Though, sometimes I think about it and all of the negative vibes erupt from the least of my thoughts to the most of them. All I want is some respect! I can't get any if I'm fat, because people think of me as a lazy, ugly, boring, dork, geek, fat, goody goody, rude girl from my appearance. Especially since I am about to graduate Elementary school... and the BIG swimming trip is closely approaching! Do any of you have advice for me? About how to deal with these people or how do lose some pounds? Anything will be greatly appreciated.

Reply from Samantha, Age 12 - 08/02/03 - IP#: 68.200.67.xxx Hey! Dont feel down! First off, there r plenty of people just like u! (DUH!) What you need to do is take a bike ride everday around your neighborhood. Also, every nite do 30-40 crunches. the kid that are like sit ups: put ur feet under the couch chair etc. and put ur hands behind ur head and do situps just only come up so ur chin touches ur chest! do this everyday for about 2-3 weeks and u'll probably be in very good shape! also eat right! if u cant do that then consider this!
Eat whatever you want when you are truly hungry. stop when you are FULL!
u dont have to do that, just think about it! thanks and i hope my advice helps! cya
Samantha

Reply from vicky - 03/29/03 - IP#: 66.157.70.xxx Hey Sweetie, I understand also. My mother wouldn't let me do anything when I was your age either. So, when I did get to go outside, I would jump rope. Alot. I would time myself and jump as long as I could and then try to keep outdoing myself each time. Jumping rope is good cardio. Try it. I wish you luck.
