My family always made fun of me. I didnt have any friends for my first 7 years of school. I am hearing impaired. I am very shy in front of a lot of people. Lately I am accepting who I am and started loosing up. I have more friends than I ever had cause I am starting to get a sense of humor and talking to people. I used to let the people come to me but now I have gotten better at it and started going to other people. I kinda do have confidence problems. I have difficult situations at home. I eat cause I am depressed and bored most of the time. That is the only reason why. I need to loose at least 50 pounds. I skateboard and everyone who saw me skate say I am really good and if I loose a lot of weight I could be a pro skater cause I am really good. Expecially for a fat girl. So yeah. I need to loose weight and I am going to do whatever I have to.

But what I did was I sat down and made a list of all these different activities I liked to do like running, reading, listening to music-for u it could be skate boarding- and whenever I got bored I got out the list and picked something off it to go do to keep my mind off food. I hoped this helped! Good luck!

Reply from Michelle, Age 16 - 01/05/08 - IP#: 71.72.54.xxx it's good that you're opening up to people! good job and the skating probably helps with losing the weight too, but don't just rely on that for your daily exercise
Reply from Yasmin, Age 18 - 01/05/08 - IP#: 63.225.102.xxx wow my dad used to make fun of me too, i think it helps to laugh at yourself, but at the same time family is important. Just make sure your losing weight for the right reason. yourself! otherwise if your doing it for someone else it wont be as easy trust me!
