From Heather, Age 17

Ht. 5'5", Start: 170 lb, Today: 170 lb, Goal: 145 lb - I have been overweight my entire life. I never used to care. Until I started getting bullied about it. You could never tell that I was over 140 pounds, or as I got older, over 150, 160 pounds. The thing that gave it away, was my stomach. There are times when I look like I'm pregnant, and trust me I'm not. It's impossible in my situation. I hated being bullied about it, but I couldnt do anything about it. My parents were always telling me to exercise so I could lose the weight, and they were always yelling at me when I would get upset because someone made a comment about it, but they were never willing to help. Even now, I try and I try, but exercising alone isnt doing it, and sometimes I dont have the time. I want to eat healthier, and I eat healthy because my mom makes my dinner, but the stuff that I want to get, we cant, because it is too expensive. For once, I just want to be able to fit into skinny jeans, and not have my stomach popping over the top of them. I want to be able to wear a shirt and not worry about my fat stomach being seen if I lift my arms. I want to be able to wear a fitted dress and think I look good. I want to look in the mirror and think "I did it". "I look good". I cant do it.... :c
