I know it's hard but just think and work hard to lose weight you''l show them. Not everyone is perfect, just think of the positive things about yourself. If you do that maybe you'll push yourself to lose weight,because for me if i get depressed i end up getting bigger. alright then take care

Reply from charlotte, Age 17 - 08/14/03 - IP#: 68.165.42.xxx I agree with Jenna, there is no healthy way for you to lose 40 lbs in 2 weeks. However, high school could be the start of a "new" you. That is, become more confident and sure of yourself. Don't think that that guy didn't want to go out with you because you were overweight, he didn't deserve you because you are a better person than he is. Stand up tall, and make your presence known, in a good way of course. Be friendly and upbeat and care about people. Most of all, care about yourself. Take care of your body. Instead of thinking "oh I have to lose so much weight" think "I should take better care of my body." Try to eat healthier foods, try new activities and just have fun. ~chaz
Reply from Cora, Age 13 - 08/14/03 - IP#: 64.230.164.xxx Hi1....I think the best way for u to loose weight and to gain more confidence is to eat loads and loads of fruits and vegetables and drink at least 6 glasses of water a day. u can also try to walk around the neighbourhood a couple of times a day. well. I hope it works out for you and good luck!
Reply from Jenna, Age 13 - 08/14/03 - IP#: 152.163.252.xxx Sorry to break it to you, but there is no way to lose 40lbs. in 2 weeks. A healthy rate to lose is 2lbs. a week. You might be more successful losing the weight for yourself, and not for boys. Good luck!
