Ht. 5'9, Wt. 274 - this is my first post on here..Ive been overweight all my life.It hit me hard today though.Im in JROTC and every year we do a thing called the Cadet Challenge,in the beginning you get your weight and height measured IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE CLASS!I was mortified and really embarrassed.I weighed the most not just in my class/Company but the WHOLE Battalion!They blurted my weight out for the whole class to hear...People laughed at me and some made comments,I broke down into to tears and ran out out of the room.Ive never had a boyfriend,I dont have many friends that accept me as I am,and Im limited to certain activities.I decided I need to change,not just emotionally but for my health as well,I have chronic Asthma and end up in the hospital alot because of it.I play softball for my highschool when the season is about.I need help,support,anything && I'll be there for all of you to! thanks in advance anyways!!! Much Love

teachers shouldn't be able to do that, read out your weight in front of the entire class without your permission. everyone who is overweight has had their own weight-related mortifying experience so your not alone. But imagine reaching your goal weight and being able to look back on this experience.
i really do hope that you reach them
good luck!! if you ever want to talk my msn is stephy4u2@hotmail.com

ignore those people who made those comments your stronger than all of them because you made the commitment to change your current state and become healthy and that takes alotta guts. i hope it all works out.
