Ht. 5'5", Today: 221 lb (BMI %tile: 98) - Oh man, where do I begin.... I've been overweight for just about all of my life. I'm 17 now, 5'5" and 221 pounds. I have been so depressed lately because of my weight. I have been second guessing friendships because I'm afraid they dont like me for me.. and it's just getting worse. I want more than anything to have a companion. Someone I can talk to and go to whenever I need something. People are just so shallow sometimes. I am sick of guys judging you.... it seems like girls have to have PERFECT bodies in order for guys to even look at them. I know there are guys out there that aren't like this, but I just wish one would come my way. I believe I am a very pretty girl, just my weight is just a huge burden. I have tried nearly everything to become skinny... I have even took diet pills... and those are horrible for your body! I've stopped now, but everytime I eat, I feel guilty and I'm sick of it. I applied for the Ultimate weight loss challange for teens, but I doubt I'll get the spot. All I really want is a significant other really. I want someone to "lean on" Well, this is a great way to get all of my feelings out, thanks for listening guys!

Keep going at it girl. You sound very sweet and no doubt you will find that significant other soon. Try to be more positive and assertive, dont put yourself down! Best Wishes.
