From patrick, Age 12

Ht. 5'10", Today: 210 lb - hi. im patrick (thats not my real name, though). at the beggining of the summer, i was 5'8 and 180lbs. but during the summer, i ate A LOT (and excercised very little) and now im 5'10 and 210lbs! im hungrier alot more now, and my appetite has grown alot. i think its because i ate so much over the summer that my body got used to getting so much food, and so i eat alot more. my mom says that she can see that i gained weight (duh), but what really worries me is that next month i have a doctor's appointment, and my new doctor weighs me at every checkup, and when my mom sees how much weight i gained (30 lbs, and i think she thinks a i gained more like 15), she'll kill me. actually my mom wil just say that i have to get more excersise (even though im excersising regularly now), and my dad will kill me. im also going to have to go shopping for new pants because my blue jeans barely fit anymore, and theyre 38s! it feels like theyre choking me, and my huge flabby stomach hangs over my pants 2 inches! and since im ALOT taller and ALOT heavier than everyone else in my grade (im in 7th) i stand out alot. im even bigger than most of the 8th graders at my school.i read a post on page 17 or somthing, and it said this kid drank tons of water and lost 20 lbs in a month or 2, so i was wandering, if i just drink alot of water, can i lose 15-20 lbs in the next month and a half? please reply people, becaus nobody ever responds to my posts (at least when i posted them a few months ago).
