Ht. 5'8", Start: 210 lb, Today: 180 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 170 lb - See, I don't eat fastfood, and I don't crave sweets or cake or cupcakes or brownies. I don't really eat sweets or drink sodas. See, I guess that I am kind of a healthy food addict in a way. Milk and water is all I drink, and when I say MILK, its 1 percent. But I've battled with weight problems since I was probably 7. It runs in my dads side of the family. I eat right, sometimes I like to over-eat. And when I was 7 or 8 is when you are introduced to mean girls. And you start to feel bad about yourself. I'm really smart, I was in advanced programs, straight A's, but how you see yourself is main key on how your going to act. Girls would pick on me because of my weight, and I would start to eat healty foods a lot because either I was bored, or I would feel so bad about myself because I never thought I was pretty. Then, I would eat in moderation, and start to run a little more and get involved in sports and I am very happy now :) Girls out there, no matter what mean girls say to you, you are YOU, you are beautiful, no matter what :)
