From Jen, Age 17 - 07/25/11 - IP#: 24.102.168.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'7", Start: 215 lb, Today: 210 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - Hi everyone. I have finally decided to loose some weight. I am obese. It feels so weird to type that. I am fat. I feel like we need to be able to accept that fact before we can work on actually loosing weight. I used to be so concerned if people could see how big I was. Who was I kidding? I am over 200 lbs. Obviously everyone can tell that I am fat. Who cares if you can tell I have a big belly. I am becoming more comfortable with my weight by admitting that I am obese and I need to do something about it. I need to stop eating so much and I need to stop sucking my stomach in all the time. I need to accept the body that I have and if I can't I should loose weight and not try to hide that with my clothes and my sucking my stomach in. I need to stop eating so much and snacking all the time and I really need to start exercising. I can bearly run because I am so big! I have already lost 5 pounds! If you have any suggestions for me let me know!
