Ht. 5'5, Wt. Unknown as of now - This is a repost. And to answer that person's question (sorry I can't remember your name) I eat fairly healthy. My diet consists of a lot of grilled chicken, veggies, fruits and low fat foods. And I am not as active as i would like because of the excessive homework I am given on a daily basis. Here is my previous post: I get really annoyed when adults keep bringing up that America is the fattest nation because all these kids are eating junk food. I feel especially offended when discussions like this erupt at school and people look over at me! i NEVER eat junk food. I love sports and I'd excersize and play them often if I didn't have tons of homework everyday, but no. They blame me being overweight on my excessive junk food eating. I eat healthier than all my skinny friends.... I just don't see how this is fair. =(

Reply from Mikayla, Age 15 - 10/16/05 - IP#: 24.18.50.xxx well there is junk food in my house, but i dont normally eat it, and its obvious when i eat at school its pretty healthy and balanced. and when people discuss obesity, they are stupid. yes, i am overweight, but i am also fully functioning. i can walk without problems, and kick their butt at sports (except running--weight becomes an issue there). Its so frustrating.
Reply from Jules, Age 15 - 10/16/05 - IP#: 70.109.213.xxx I always get confused about how no matter how healthy I eat (which is very healthy), and how unhealthily my friends eat (not so healthy) I am still overweight, and they are thin. I am an actor (or actress if you prefer), and I don't have time for sports because of rehearsals and homework. I am quite active, though. There is not a speck of junk food in my house! I believe that you and I have slower metabolisms than other people, so it is harder for us to eat junk food and stay thin. Here is a tip: fruit. I know that is what everyone says, but it's true. Fruit is one of my favorite foods and there is so much you can do with it! You probably love it, too! I didn't even need to give you that tip! You eat healthy, just like me! I also get embrassed when people talk about obesity in America, even though I am not and I eat way healthier than anyone in my class. Just stick with it and if they have anything to say about you eating junk food, show them your house and THEN let them talk! :-)
