Hello you may already know me.. Well i haven't joined weight watchers yet because my aunt (the one who was going to let me borrow 100$) Had to use that money for her son (my cousin) because it is his graduation .. so now i have to wait for my mom to get money (the 11th) and then she is going to enroll me in weight watchers.. BUT i dont think i can do it . I am very lazy and i hardly EVER lets say NEVER go outside.. (i am homeschooled) I dont want to waste my mom's money and join WW and then fail and not lose nothing! I feel like a LOSER.. My dream is to be a Ballerina and to get into Gymnastics but i think that would never come true... I weight 250 pounds and i am 5'3 . It is realy hard to say " TODAY I AM GOING TO END MY TORMENT AND LOSE WEIGHT!" And i have alot of problems.. I am depressed (i take pills) And my mom is Single and i am an ONLY child ... No one to support me.. No one to be my friend.. The only SO CALLED friend i have is 2 years younger than me and she only comes to play SIMS and then leaves.. I am embarrased to go outside because MY BIG UGLY FAT BUTT is always on the way. And my BIG FAT BLUBBER BELLY! size 49! My feet always hurt because of my weight i am 100 pounds overweight! CAN YOU IMAGINE! walking around with 100 pounds? I am always tired i sleep alot too.. I dont do nothing but EAT , USE THE NET , TAKE MY CLASS , SLEEP , AND WATCH TV... Thats my life a borring heck of a life.. If only losing weight was as easy as eating.. But the problem is not WHAT i eat its how i EAT it i eat so fast.. And i NEVER exercise... One day i exersized for 1 hour and said i am going to do this everyday! But the next day my legs hurted so much i gave up and forgoted about it.. I wish i had a rich family it would be much easier.. I know i what u thinking.. You saying " GET UP THE DAMN COUCH AND EXERSIXE! " you think its easy? no! its hard! we fat people cant even run or walk 1 mile (atleast i can't) i get tired and start to cry and my mom then say "Ok lets take a taxi" I wish i wasn't like this! This isn't the real me! The real me is a beautiful girl full of spirit and happines , Very atheletic and Adventuress. But .... Its just to hard! i wish i could just die and be born again and start life again! why is the world so cruel to me? WHY! *sniff* If any of you feel like this and want to be my buddy go ahead and email me at oceananie@yahoo.com
**GOD BLESS** ~Amanda~

well sounds like all you need is some support and guidence. you can do anything you set your mind to if you fail one day just get right back up and start again. the problem with your exercising is you probably tried to do too much at once slowly get your way into it bit by bit for more support join us at my website TeenGirlWeightLossSite@groups.msn.com

amanda. chill girl* you have got PLENTY of time to lose weight honest. dont think so badly of yourself because if you do you'll get depressed even worse and eat even more. so, tell yourself positively, "ok im gonna make a difference in my life starting today. im gonna start eating healthily and exercising for an hour each day" if running outside is not your thang, you can always get aerobic videos or do an exercise bike if you have one. else, stretching and those targeted exercises always featured in mags will help too!

Hey Amanda! Don't set really big goals for yourself. Like exerise an hour or run a mile or what not. Start small then build up. Right now if you run 100 yards it might seem like running a mile, if you get what i mean. So start small your body will then get use to it and then you can do more. Start small. This week just focus on eating a healthy breakfast. Don't try to do everything at once. Next week focus on eating a healthy breakfast and lunch. and so on till your focusing eating healthy for 24/7.

Life doesn't treat everyone fair. But a lot of it is how a person looks at their situation.

go to the first ww. meeting, then u get some info on the point values for food and just calculate it at home. i understand exercising is hard, so start of small then u can work it up. i am sure you can achieve your goal someday...but you are gonna have to try. don't give up i no how hard it is, but i believe in you and if you can believe in yourself it will make the world of a difference.
Good luck!
You can do anything if you put your mind to it!
