i can see where you are coming from, that losing weight quickly can mean that ur only losing water weight, but that doesnt mean its not possible. i dont know if you realise this but todays society has a negative out look to overweight ppl. being over weight means being dirty, or unhealthy, when thats not true. some ppl dont have as much confidence as you obviously do, even though it doesnt seem like you were ever really that fat at all. can i ask u a question? what made you lose all that weight in the first place? did the doctor recommend it? id really like to know. and as for the 10 and 12 yr olds that write messages here, its a good sign. you know why? because they care enough about their bodies to try to learn something and lose weight in a healthy and safe way. would you rather they try throwing up their food? theyve taken the first step, by addmitting they have a problem and are doing something positive about it. implying that everyones reasons for weight loss are trivial is just being insensetive to their feelings. did you think for just one second that this might give them more confidence? something as simple as a comment on how good you look at your school dance would do so much, and then you go and diss that. i think thats just really mean.
