Hi! I am a naturally confident person, and generally happy. I never used to be. I used to get teased all the time. People dont tease me anymore. I think they got bored of it. I am 5ft 5 and 196lbs. My friends say Im not fat, but they're just trying to spare my feelings. I know I am. My friends are all really thin and wear size 8 and 10 clothes. When we go shopping they go on about how they feel fat. I often feel like telling them to shutup and that they dont know what being fat feels like. I wear a size 16-18 and I hate going shopping. It gets depressing at times not being able to wear what I want but I seem to deal well with it. I really want to lose weight but it is really hard. I dont want to be `the fat one` of my group. I try to eat healthy and exercise, but I cant resist temptation and binge. I think it would be easier with a friend to diet with. All my friend are thin so I cant exactly talk to them about it. If anyone wants a dieting friend then I am more than willing. We can exchange tips and keep eachother up to date on how we are getting on.

I had the same exact problem. Until one day I looked in the mirror and told myself that I had to lose some weight. It was hard giving up chocolate and candy and all that good stuff, but once I gave it up and replaced it with other foods that I really liked I didn't miss it. I found a bunch of desserts and stuff that I really liked that were good for you. If you really like ice cream by the "no sugar added" kind. The sme goes with jello. I have some others if you want them. I noticed everyone telling you to do weights trainning. That is what you need to do. It is an important key to weight loss. Email me at adavies@writeme.com if you have anyother questions.

I think with your height it would be very easy to tone that weight down. And I wouldn't call you FAT, you probably look just chubby. Try to find some weight training program to help :)
