Ht. 5'4", Start: 156 lb, Today: 152 lb (BMI %tile: 92), Goal: 115 lb - I.... I just sit here and compare. What do I do? I have tried EVERYTHING. Well, maybe not everything but it sure feels like it. I want to be happy. I want to feel confident. I want to look like my friends. Why have I been the only one of my friends to be overweight? Why am I the only one of my siblings to be overweight? Ugh. I want to not be ashamed when my friends look at pictures of me. I want to not avoid parites and social events beacuse I am embarressed!!! I wish I could just switch bodies with somebody else. I am simply depressed. What do others think of me? I always hear its whats on the inside that counts. Well, has the inside gotten a boy to actually like me? Nthats a big fat NONONO!! What do I do?

aw sweet heart i know how you feel, my friends all go ou tin their teeny bikinis and when they ask me to come to the pool with them i do anything to find an exuse to not go. but it doesn't have to be that way! if you really really set your mind to it and get yourself really really excited about losing weight you can do it! try keeping a journal of everything you eat. you can also write to yourself about how you feel from day to day. If you work out write down how much you've worked out everyday. It helps! it really does. good luck!!!
