First: All of you:- Consult your doctor then come back! Lets be real. If your are or aren't overweight and you diet and excerise with this advice you're in your teen years (later development years) you are destroying everything that's still developing! I would understand worrying about the size of your breast and lets face it you keep it up and you won't have any! You should be worrying about the cuttest boy in school, how to get him to ask you out, or keep your best friend from getting him first. No boy in his right mind wants to date a girl that's not in hers. So, if you talk to guys at all; ask one how you look. You know they will be honest; possibly cruel too but not near as cruel as you are at yourselves here. If they are talking to you chances are they don't think your fat. I suggest that all of you talk to someone older than you that you can talk to serious face to face about this. Nurse, doctor, mom, cousin, aunt, whoever - just talk to someone. Look back at 200 years ago and see how little people were. We were that size at age 8 okay. Some of us need to lose some weight but talk to a doctor first! You might have a serious health problem that will keep you from diet and excerise. They will find these problems before you kill yourselves and if you have and eating disorder they can help you solve it faster than anybody else if you do what they say. They will also find ways to get past your platues that seem to take a decade to get past. Also with that in mind you did'nt gain your weight overnight don't expect to lose it in 3 months. You have been watching TV longer then that. find better things to eat and healthier hobbies, like walking 4 miles to the movies on Saturday (stay away from the popcorn) and not have a meal at McDonald's for 7 months. Most of you will do just fine to choose a sport at school and go out for the team.
