Hey everyone,I come to this site time to time looking for inspiration, and I usually find it. But the key in weight loss is not always looking for some quick fix, but for looking at a completely different outlook on life. I go to school every day with people some would call preps, buffies..etc..they're skinny, and "beautiful". But if you really think about it, what truly defines beauty? I can say that I have been overweight, but I had to accept what was me, and then want to change for myself...not because I was supposed to be skinny, but because I needed to be a healthy weight and truly feel comfortable. I noticed a remarkable change in my weight when I began to eat when I was hungry and not just because it was there or because it looked good to me. So, please don't just look for something short-term...and something that is unrealistic, because it will depress you and cause you to eat more...loosing weight with all these "quick" diets is not the key. But keep believing in yourselves, and want this for YOU and not everyone else. -Piccles
