Reply from Rita, Age 15 - 02/10/01 Please do listen to Sue. She is very smart in what she said. I used to do what you do. Look in the mirror. Get a hobbie! Go paint or swim or jog or draw or do homework or clean there are alot of other things to do! (read!)
Reply from Sue, Age 40 - 02/06/01 You are not overweight. Your problem is that you 'think' you are overweight. Your friends won't take you seriously because they, too, know you aren't overweight. Mirrors can seem very cruel sometimes. At your age your body is still changing shape but, believe me, in a few years it will even out and gain more shape. Just be patient and stop worrying.
