I screamed at her xD.And she sent me to a child psyhologist.Great.And he said I need to go on some therapy where I will practice my self confidence.What!So anyway,my next session is in a month,and in spite,I went on a diet nad lost 7 kg.BTW(Im 170 cm,was 87 kg,now im 80 kg)So anyway,I beleive you are a beautifull smart girl and have all the great qualaties to be somebodies girlfriend.But you just cant see that.You already lost 3kg,thats great!:) Keep up with your diet,dont expect quick results(You didnt suddenly woke up overweight,it takes time to put on pounds,so does to lose them)Eat healthy,its really not that hard once you get use to it.Excersise regulary.Walk alot.Drink lots of water.You know the drill :).If you feel self concious about working out in front of others,buy some excersise tape,or a trainig bike,or a treadmill(Im going with the treadmill).Remember,you are not alone.Me and milloins of other teens feel EXACLY like you.You are still young.Your meabolism is on the highest now.Now is the best time.Dont give up.Best wishes :)
