From Lola, Age 11 - 01/23/09 - IP#: 91.106.188.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 4'8.5", Start: 9 st 9, Today: 9 st 9 (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 6 st 0 - Hi I found this site a while ago and I read your posts and I hope someone can help me. I am overweight and i have felt overweight since about 3 years old when my auntie said something bad about me and i realisied that I was fat. At school they call me fatty and my freinds keep telling me I look gross and I need to go on a diet very qickly. one girl said an elephant would look like an ant compared to me. I don't cry in front of them but it hurts inside when they say bad things about me and call me names. I cry in bed at night and sometimes i don't want to go to parties becase I feel too fat. I don't like to go swimming with my class even though i like to swim because I am so embarrased to be seen in my bathing suit. I am horrible and discusting. i felt fat in my new clothes at chistmasand I don't like anyone to see me eating. One day I was wearing a dress that was too tight around my tummy and i heard my dad say to my mum is that all her? and he said he hadn't known how big i was getting and that my mum shuld make me loose weight. I have rolls on my tummy and I HATE them so much!!! i REALY wish i could loose weight and be skinny.I am too embarrased to tell anyone but i know they all think i am fat and discusting. Lola (Note: 9 st 9 is 135 lb.)

I know it's hard, not to feel bad about your weight but you have to try and feel positive about yourself. Your 'friends' are probably just bored and are trying to act cool. Say something back! They can't hurt you! I am much heavier than you and my friends all take pictures of my belly and lift my shirt up and stuff. But I don't let them bother me. Try this: Jog after or before school every day. Eat salads Drink natural juice and lots of water. Sign up for any sports or activities that you can. Try and make a diet plan and before you know it, you'll reach your target goal. Hope this goes well for you. Reply back if you read or consider this.

Listen, I know everyone says that but it's true! I'm chunky ( way better word than fat) but I feel good about myself. Maybe I'm oblivious to the truth, but, hey: what are you gonna do? #_# Hang in there, Lola!
