Hi I'm Adam I'm 12 4'11" and I weigh 220 pounds. I really just want some people to talk to, I sometimes really hate being fat then other times I don't care. I do eat WAAAY too much because I do love to eat. I wish I was thin but I never want to diet or excercise, especally I hate to excercise. I don't have too many friends because I'm too fat for sports and stuf like that so no-one wants to be with me so I really would like someone to talk to and help me lose weight. So email me kimbano1@hotmail.com

Reply from Katy, Age 16 - 10/14/01 - IP#: 134.71.67.xxx Hey Adam, If I were you, I wouldn't worry too much. You probably haven't hit your main growth spurt yet. Most boys don't really grow until they get into high school, usually between the 9th and 10th grades, especially if your parents are taller than you. Also, when you want to snack, you should try to snack on low fat foods and things like apples and carrots. I think that you should ask your parents to let you do something like join Boy Scouts, go skating, or join a bowling league. Never think that you can't be active because you are fat, because I have been fat my entire life and I have been playing sports for just as long. Just try to be more active so that you are focusing on things other than food. PS, tv and the computer are good, but you do that while you are sitting. Try to get some kind of activity going that gets you out of the house and moving around. Oh yeah, call around and see if your hometown has a swim team that you cam join...that might be good.
