From Amanda, Age 14 - 06/15/10 - IP#: 74.55.55.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'1", Start: 260 lb, Today: 310 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 100 lb - I can't believe TWO weeks of SuMmEr is alREADY gone! ALL I want to DO this SuMmEr is SLEEP. I'm happy to not have to WALK around SCHOOL which is hard because of my WEIGHT. HopeFULLy this summer I won't GAIN any WEIGHT because I'm alREADY too HeAvY and I HATE it! Being OVERweight is the WORST because it HURTS to WALK and its HARD to BREATHE and everyone MAKES FUN of ME! It's so UNfair to have so many PROBlems just because I have CRAVEings and sometimes OVEReat. And it's UNfair that I can't exerCISE because of my WEIGHT but I can't LOSE weight until I EXERcise!!! PS My stupid BROther is supposed to weigh 80 and he's OVERweight too becuase he weighs 140. But he doesn't EVEN care! He can RUN in footBALL and I can BAREly WALK 5 minutes at SCHOOL. And he feels FINE but I feel so HEAVY its like carrying a MOUNTAIN all the time!!! UnFaIr!!!

You're away from annoying, immature brats at your school, you have time to yourself, and you can set your own pace for losing a bit of weight, if you want. Seriously, just put all of those stupid comments out of your head (who cares, anyway?!), and don't let anythnig hold you back. You're in charge of you, and you can do it. It's hard to start, but once you do, it gets easier. Take it day by day. You have an entire summer ahead of you. Don't get overwhelmed. All the best! Good Luck and i hope things get better from here!
