I feel very sick. I am very overwieght and I hate myself. Not to mention I have a risk of heart faliure or anything else including wieght issue's. I can't stop eating food. I HATE myself for doing what I am doing to myself. My grades arn't top notch and I always eat french fries at the cafetria. I don't look very fat. I always thought I was a cool kid. I play baseball, and football. I use to play basketball, but since everyone else is like Allen Iverson Jr. I don't fit in with the sport. Everyday I come home sit on the couch and eat candy bars. I can't help myself. Then after that I have football practice. I lose like 2 pounds every practice, but I get so hungry after so I eat like 7 pounds of food. My dad trys to help me with me eating, I JUST CAN"T STOP. I really feel like I am my own enemy. I just turned 14 today and I feel very bad. When we run miles during school I always keep everyone waiting. There averege time for a mile is 8:35min mine is 11:2min I run like a hippo. I don't get made fun of at my school, but I can hear them snickering behind my back. I just want like a magic potion to restart my life over again. Make some changes in my life that I should have. I HATE MY LIFE!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! Cheer up on your birthday. You cant let other people get you down like that. Regardless of anyones weight, they should be able to do what they want to do- especially sports. Hold your head high and go shoot some hoops. ~ love ya ~ Jess

wow- those are really powerful emotions about your weight. that's why it's hard for me to post a reply to this. i feel that way sometimes. and i don't know if my advice will help but here it goes: since you can't stop eating keep at it BUT make sure what you're eating is better then what you're eating now. always have cut up veggies(i know i know- it's definetly not what you want to eat but just make it a habit and you'll love them more then other stuff later on) crunchy stuff like celery. don't say that you can never have junk food becasue that just makes you want it even more. instead limit your daily consumtion of it. only have one sweet snack a day. make sure that what you're eating has some nutrition to it. for instance- no soda! make small changes and stick with a tiny change untill it becomes a habit and then change another tiny thing until that becomes a habit. good luck and i know it's easier to say then to do(everything about change always is!) but make a more posative view about yourself in your mind. try to avoid saying you hate yourself or that you're horrible for eating that candy bar and perhaps soon you'll realize that you don't need that type of language. good luck- i really really hope that you are able to become healthier and have a better image of yourself. my email's red8705@hotmail.com if you ever want to talk email to eamil...
