Hey, alright i know you people probally dont want to here about my sad life, but im tellin it anyways. Im 142 pounds and im only 5'1 and being fat is ruining my life well i dont know what life its exactly ruining cuz i have no life. it seems like because im fat i cant do anything and that its holding me bak, i feel like i cant have fun or just be myself cuz everyone is watching me and judging me. Also a result of me being fat is that ive never had a b/f (i know its sad)i just never had the self confidence or the courage to ask a guy out, and actually recentely i was getting really close to a guy im super in love with but i shyed away cuz i feel im not good enough for him and he would never go for a fat girl like me. not only is my love life and social life depressing (cuz i have no friends and never get invited anywhere) but my family life SUX, its actually probally the main reason i hate myself so bad, my mom who thinks she tryin to help buys me stupid diet pill and slim fast which ive never asked for, i feel like shes calling me fat but in a nice way, also my brother who will probally be the cause of my sucide, he always calls me fat, fattie and teases me and and tells me to go drink some slim fast and he say this stuff in front of his friends . i hate them, especially when they try to understand and tell me they know how i feel, cuz they dont my whole family is built like toothpicks , even my twin sister who weighs 98 pounds and my mom only 100 pounds,itsso funny when my mom tells me she know how i fell cuz when she was growing up she was too skinny, so compared to them i feel like a hippo, and i dont even understand how i became fat cuz i dont eat anymore than anyone else and i pretty much hate junk food especially chocolate or anything lil debbies or hoss's(yuck) and dont get me wrong, i know isound like all ive done is wine and complain and im sorry, but i have tried to lose weight but its so hard especially for someone with no will power and its hard to keep a diet a secret, i couldnt bare it if anyone knew about me trying to lose weight my family and friends would make fun of me, i just need help any help at all to lose weight, and keep it a secret, i have lost 10 pounds throughout the past year by just cutting out pop but i honestly dont see any difference and ive been at the same weight for a really long time. so does anyone have any ideas

Reply from MissyK, Age 18 - 07/30/04 - IP#: 24.84.212.xxx When I was in grade 8 to 9 I was clinically overweight. My life was jUST like yours, except instead of a brother to make fun of me, my cousins, family members and classmates all teamed up on me. It drove me to depression, and gave me motivation to lose weight, and by grade 12 I was 98lbs and 5"2. Well, I gained alot of the weight back due to numerous factors but with the help of this site, I've lost some weight. My point is, feeling horrible sucks (which I'm sure you know). But once you get motivated to lose weight, even if it's a few pounds, you'll feel this incredible sense of power over your own life. The key is to get started. You should feel proud of yourself for losing 10lbs, and strive to lose the rest! I'm now 110lbs with the help of this site, and a weightloss buddy. I wish you the best. ~~MissyK~~
Reply from Emily, Age 13 - 07/30/04 - IP#: 68.148.170.xxx Please don't let anything, or anyone give you a reason for suicide. I am not saying it is right of your brother to say all that, as it is really mean, but you know he is your brother, and thats what brothers do, annoy you, and anyways what he says isn't true. You are a little overweight, but i know you can lose it, you just have to believe in your self. At one point in mylife i felt like you, but i started to believ in myself, and i lost weight, and had more confidence so more people wanted to hang around me. Losing weight doeasn't need to be done by diet pills or slim fats-you can just make a change in your everyday lifestyle, and people don't even have to know. JUst try to limit or even cut out all the unnessecary junk food in your life and eat healthier as in more fruits and veggies and whole grains. Drink more water-10-14 glasses. And just go for a walk everyday and in your room do crunches, jumping jacks and other simple exercises. I know you can do this, and you just have to start believing in yourself too. Who cares if a guys don't likeyou because of your seight, they aren't worth it. If you gain some more self confidence i am sure that will be better than being skinny. Just remeber to believe in your self and that you are very valuable and your looks, or personality can't change that. Good luck! If you ever want to talk- pinkprincess_202@hotmail.com. :D

Reply from Suzu, Age 16 - 07/30/04 - IP#: 24.42.124.xxx Hey hun... The way I see it you're letting yourself down. Trust me on this, you have to have a good motive to lose weight especially if you have no will power whatsoever. Most people who come to the forumn are actually like that. You have to lose weight for YOU not for a guy. And still, there are guys who go for any girl who has a good personality. Also, you have to learn to shrug off your brothers crued comments. Hmn.... Try doing some things you love to stay active, dance, swim or even skip. Trust me, every one has will power, its just a matter of proving it. If your the kind of person who works hard for what they want then you can do it. Good luck~!
