From Kate, Age 14

Ht. 5'3", Today: 250 lb - Hi! This is my first time posting, so I'm not really sure what to say, except some stuff about me! I'm 14, my name is Kate. I'm 5'3" and i weigh 250. I've been big all of my life but now it's really gotten out of control. I go to a cathoilc school and the largest size uniform skirt they make is a 25, which at the moment cuts off my circulation. I'm very tired of being "the big girl". I just want to be "Kate". I want to be sure that when my friends look at me, they see ME, and not my size. I love swimming, volleyball, singing although I'm not good at it, writing (mostly books), and I absolutely ADORE television. I understand that loosing weight is very difficult. The thin people just think if we don't eat as much, we'll lose weight, but it isn't that simple. I am down to a 900 calorie count a day, and I'm still not shedding a pound. It's impossible for me to eat less. They don't understand most of it is genetics, which is what is so frustrating about it. They don't get it. Anyways, I'm just looking for friends who understand how I feel, and who are working toward the same goals I am. :) Cya later! ~Kate
