wow. some people really never get it do they? everyone continues to think it's a great idea to throw their bodies into starvation mode and that if they're not a size 2 then they are fat. it has really been bugging me. this site is no longer a site for overweight people- it now just seems like a site for little ignorant girls to get support in starving themselves so that they can be a size zero once again. this isn't helping me at all- i hope it clears up soon...hint: if you're a size below the average size 14 THEN YOU'RE NOT FAT. oh oh- another hint: IF THE CALCULATOR TELLS YOU YOU'RE AT YOUR IDEAL WEIGHT THEN YOU'RE NOT FAT EITHER!!!oh wait- i feel another one comming on: DON'T F-ING STARVE YOURSELF- YOU'LL LOSE TONS OF MUSCLE AND YOUR METABOLIMS WILL SLOW WAY DOWN AND YOU'LL STRUGGLE EVEN HARDER THEN YOU ARE NOW KEEPING THE WEIGHT OFF...don't mean to sound like a jerk but it's the truth lately.

Reply from anne, Age 18 - 02/07/05 - IP#: 216.66.102.xxx first of all- to the person saying i don't give advice- look at my posts- i try to reply all the time with helpful tips. and to katherine- yeah- i tell people whop are eating under 1200 calories a day that they should stop[ and i tell them why and yet they continue to do so- therefore it is not lack of knowledge that keeps them eating so little- but thier own desire to be ignorant of the facts. calling someone who i tell all the time the facts and they don't listen is ignorant- and it is not ignorant to say so if it is truely that way. oh and this isn't just a site to be healthy- did you even read any of what it stands for it's for OVERWEIGHT people- not people who are perfectly fine but have something else wrong with them, please go see a doctor because no one on this teen site is going to be able to help you. thank you for the people who listened at least- i really hope this site gets like it used to- when people who had problems came here for hope and encouragement. because it's really discouraging to see people who are so small and eat so little say they're fat and are being healthy- because that makes me feel twice as fat and tempts me to start eating unhealthy too. those people are not good role models at all...
Reply from kathryn, Age 17 - 02/06/05 - IP#: 84.160.149.xxx I agree and disagree anne, first off, ppl who are always posting about how little they ate and complaining of being fat, thats annoying, i know. But you know, take a deep breath and learn from them! Never be them! On the other hand, i disagree about what you say this site is for. This site is for being healthy. Its geared to overweight ppl, cuz well, being overweight is indeed unhealthy. BUT lots of kids out there also need to get healthy, and that could mean stoping with all the junk, or working out, or whatever. Im under the average size 14, and im in that "almost overweight" catagory. But im here and i get help and give (i hope) help everyday. Sounds like you have a lot of pent-up angry- try aiming it at weight loss instead of this post. cuz you must realize that the ppl who are replying to your post arent your target adience, and so no good can come of it.
Reply from Katy, Age 16 - 02/06/05 - IP#: 195.40.196.xxx Erm... I can't think of many things more ignorant than calling other people ignorant! Yes of course starving yourself is a bad and dangerous choice to make but perhaps not everyone has your knowledge of healthy choices and nutrition. I often read your posts and I respect and sympathize with you but I also feel that you sometimes come across as judgemental. If those posts don't help you, either don't read them or offer some constructive help, not criticism or ridicule! What about support and compassion?
Reply from becky, Age 20 - 02/06/05 - IP#: 66.30.108.xxx size doesn't mean a everything when talking about being healthy. I am at good weight but I have high cholesterol. my doctor told me loseing 10 and of course eating healty and excersizing will do just that. I came here for support. i'm size 11/12; i am not doing this to be "Thin" i am doing this to be heathy and stay that way. I agree negative things shouldn't be said. If you do not need to loose weight but just want to stay at the weight we finally were able to get at..... we are here for support. Maybe we were overweight before and now just want support to stay this way. think before you type hatrid words like you did. Thanks

Reply from jessica, Age 16 - 02/06/05 - IP#: 205.188.116.xxx I think that if you are overweight you have learned to live with it and that is why you are probly trying to encorage other girls to do to i completly undrestand you but i thought that was a jerkish way to tell people but i fully appreciate you trying to encourage girls to be comfortable with who they are I also made another comment about your comment on the board i spelled some things wrong i know but dont take my comment personally its just my opinion i respect yours as well
