This one is about me. I weigh 125 lbs. and I know I am not that overwieght but I still am a little. I have 3 rolls and I love to wear jeans, but when I sit down, my stomach curls and expands and my button pops. I don't want to tell any one. I am a boy, and I am ashamed because most of my excess wieght is on my hips and my butt and my thighs. I only have a small stomach but a gigantic butt. I have been trying to cut my porios and not snack at nigh or through the day and I lost 5 pounds but then took back on 6! Plus, our house is ussually stocked with VERY fattening foods like Fudge Rounds, OREO's cakes pizza and that Stoffer's Mac & Cheese. Please help. Thanxs, Chaz

Hey Chaz, i know how yo feel, Until you loose the weight for you to feel comfortable, try and sit straight and not slouch, because then you stomach will be pulled back and you shouldn't have to worry to much. I have the exact problem, but i am a little buit more over weight than you. Ask you parents to sop buying all those food, and chioose healthier foods, like vegetables, and chicken, instead of steak and red meats, they contain lots more fat. I have an automatic reaction to go to the friedge and look through it. I have made some silly (but useful) reminders around they house, where i sit, sleep, and work, that help me not to look there! Well i hope this may help, you can email if you would like some more advice, i'mm not so sure, i have anygood stuff, but it may make you feel better. Thanks Nik. e-mail: snufflewuffle87@hotmail.com
