From Summer, Age 17 - 12/16/02 - IP#: 66.67.42.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'4", Start: 210 lb, Today: 431 lb (BMI %tile: 98) - Hi everyone. My name is Summer and i am 17. I weigh 431 lbs. I am 5'4. I have been overweight my whole life, but at age 12, i could have stopped it. Last year i lost my best friend...she died in a car crash with her 21 yr old boyfriend. He had been drinking and she was begging him to pull over, but he didn't. Then he went on the other side of the road where he collieded with an eighteen wheeler. Both of them died instantly. Before any of that happened i had weighed 210, and i was in progress of losing weight so i would be able to fit into the new dress i had bought for my cousins wedding. I wasn't ALL fat, half fat, and half muscle becasue i swam. But now, i am soo depressed at my deseased friend. It is the reason that i now weigh 431 lbs. If anyone has support or ways to lose weight please post...thanks to everyone for even reading this message. And god rest her in peace,I love you, Genn..(my best friend..)thanks..~Summer

Reply from swimf@n, Age 14 - 12/27/02 - IP#: 24.200.41.xxx hey, i'm sorry to hear about your friend, i know it must've been really hard on you..have you thought of getting help? are you really depressed? because both my parents are psychiatrists..i know some things about that..cuz in a lot of cases, depression either leads to binge eating (what you might be doing now, eating because you're not happy and not being happy cuz you're eating...or even just thinking it doesn't matter anymore), or not eating at all (you lose the will to do anything)...and about the swimming, i'm on a swimteam too, i started 2 years ago..i used to weigh about 145ish, and now i weigh 128..no one thinks i'm the same person as before, i changed so much...and i enjoy it too!! i go 5-6 times a week for about 2 hours..try getting back into a sport, it does wonders and it helps if it's something yoou enjoy..i remember when i started it was SO hard..i was the slowest (not to mention the chubbiest) of everyone, including the 9 yr olds..listen it might be hard getting back into that swimsuit or track suit or whatever..but it's well worth it..just giving you some advice =)..stay strong..YOU CAN DO ANYTHING IF YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO IT!!
