Also remember are souls are what really count what is inside. Our bodies just make us be able to walk and move and talk. Love yourself for who you are and not what you look like. The ugliest person in the world could be the most beautiful person in the world from the heart. We dont want to lose you, we all care about you here!!!

Dont go suicide. I dont understand why anyone would want to do that. Could you think of how your family would feel, your friends, there are always people who care about you that you dont even know. Listen, your so young, a lot of people I know hate school. I got picked on one of my ex best friends before. But I got through it and you will too. After school, there is so much out there. I mean you could travel, get married, have kids, do a million things. If your not happy, then something needs to be changed. Suicide is never the answer. A huge reason is God decides when you will go, and suicide will make you go down if you know what I mean. There is so much more to life then life right now. Everyone has bad years, I have had a few bad years myself. Life is too short as it is. Just keep your head up, and remember NO ONE is better than anyone else. So remember that when anyone makes fun of you. Because there is always a reason those people make fun of people, because they are unhappy and have no love in there life. Their life may look glamourous, but there are always dark secrets. So we are here for you, and help you lose weight if it is what you want!!

katie, i was in the same place u are now..but i realized that i was never gona look like a skinny model or anything like that, so i just accept who i am and i try to be postive..i mean i still was lose weight and as so far i am, but i am not gona kill my self to be aproved by other people..(i am 5'3''..and 160lbs)..back in the 7th grade ( i was 13) i was 180 aswell, but if u just cut back on what u eat, no junk, workout for at least an hour everyday, and be positive you CAN DO THIS!...your goal might be a lil to far to reach...but aslong as u make some progress you will be more confindent and happy with yourself..you should work on the inside b4 the outside (i kno that sounds gay, but it is TRUE!!)...when i lost my 20lbs it was over 2 years, but i wasnt tryin to lose weight..but now i am so now i am working out, only drinking water, and watchin what i eat...NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENES, DONT kill YOUR self!! bc u will miss out on all the cool stuff that life brings, like prom, goin to a part with ur friends, having boy freinds, gettin married..please dont kill ur self ... if u need any help u can email me at Jerrilm@aol.com .... or im me at jerrilm

theres more to life than cheekbones and your figure. You just need to find a little self love.WHO CARES WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK?! love yourself for who you are. Read this book- Skinny Women are Evil by Monique. In it she tells you to strip down in front of a mirror and just look at yourself..dont cry dont pout or think suicidal thoughts, just find something about you that you like, and trust me there has to be something.

when does ur school start? cuz if it starts later in september then u can lose maybe 25 lbs but if it starts in august then u could only lose maybe 5-10 lbs and you could always diet durring school And taking urself out of the world just because u cant lose weight is a very selfish thing to do think of all the people who will miss u and ur what 13 you've barly lived i mean u've never driven a car (I can only assume) (driving is awesome!) & u've never experienced high school (which is great!) think of all the things u have to look forward to! so dont kill urself and good luck with urself and do the right thing

Please don't do that. It is alittle impossible to lose 30 pounds before school but it is very possible to lose between 10-20. I will help you if you want. I can e-mail you all the time and ask how you are doing and how your weight loss is going. I have already lost 46 pounds and I want to lose another 20. My e-mail is Selenafan@pa.net. Please e-mail me, I know how you feel I was in your same position at one time. I was a 13 year old girl at 5'3" weighing 196 pounds! I am now 150 pounds and I feel 10x better. Please e-mail me I would love to help you. I don't know you, but I don't want you to kill yourself.

could u perhaps ask your mum to help you. i know being overweight is hard but talking suicide will not help you need to speak to one of your parents or a relative about how you are feeling you sound depressed to me.my daughter is overweight and sometimes gets down about it but i would feel very upset if she couldnt talk to me about it please talk to someone . have you seen a dietician or a doctor about your weight? why dont you make small changes to your diet and do a little excercize i hope i helped a little and good luck with your diet
