Ht. 5"5, Wt. 150 - Hey everybody. This is going to be a positive message. I just wanted to say that I weigh 150 pounds at age 12, and I'm ok with it. Well sort of. I know everyone makes fun of me and says things about me behind my back, but it doesn't bother me as much as it used to. I don't get asked to do a lot of things, so I focus a lot of my time on school. I get pretty good grades and I tutor people. I know some of the people I tutor are embaressed that I'm their tutor, but in the end they're happy they got their grades up and when they thank me, it all feels worth it. I am still trying to lose weight, and I excersise all the time, but in the meantime, I don't take things so hard anymore. I think a good idea for you guys would be to focus your engery on something you like to do, preferably something that you can do yourself or help someone else, and spend most of your time on that. Does anyone have anything like my tutoring? What is it? What are some things other people can do? -LeXi

Its me...I'm glad i helped at least a couple people, and I know that some of you are saying 150 is not that much at age 12...but I go to a school where everyone is a stick. I mean a really really skinny stick. lol. So even if it may not seem like a lot to you, its a lot to me and the people at my school. But I'm glad I am helping some of you and i think it would really help other people, so if you know any other overweight people, pass on the message. -LeXi
