Hi,I'm 13 and am currently on summer vacation from school. In the past month or so I've had nothing to do and I dont go to camp, so i ate. I am 5 foot 6 and weighed 135 lbs last month. now i weigh almost 150 lbs. i'm getting a flabby stomach and my jeans no longer need a belt and are getting tight. My 18 and 16 year old brothers are making fun of me and poking my belly. Both of them are saying that i'm blowing up like the good year blimp. They are thin but they eat all the candies and whatever else they want. I want to lose weight but I have zero to do so i eat. And eat and eat and eat.....

I think being teens and overweight we have an advantage, if we take care of our weight right now, then we will be able to watch our weight for life, and know that we cant eat too much or we will gain weight. Those skinny people who can eat anything and everything will have the same habits when they are older and gain a ton of weight. I am 5'6 too, I weigh 155. I am eating healthy and exercising. I am losing weight. Give yourself a good time period to lose the weight. If you give yourself too little time to lose the weight, you will be stressed out and eat more. Keep yourself busy, by doing the things you love. Dont worry about your brothers, all brothers are mean. Good Luck!!
