have always been really short for my age...about half a foot shorter than all of my classmates. and up until second grade i was thin for my age also. i'll never forget the night when my mom was in my room and told me, in front of my brother, that i had been gaining weight...i remember saying "no i haven't"...and i know she didn't mean anything by it, but i'll never forget it...the next year, in third grade i was 4'7" and weight 100lbs. which is about fifteen pounds overweight. i wouldn't wear jeans, i would only wear stretch pants that weren't as uncomfortable as wearing tight jeans...in fifth grade i underwent a lot of teasing for various reasons, and i didn't get any physical activity...over the summer, all i did was sit at home watching television. when sixth grade hit, i weight around 110, and i was still around 4'8"...which is twenty pounds overweight for that height...during sixth grade i was very antisocial...i remember exactly what my mother fed me...breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs, bacon, and a bagel with peanut butter. lunch: a balogna sandwich with mayonnaise, and potato chips. snack: potato chips, brownie, and a glass of milk. during my brother's baseball season we would take out from mcdonald's dinner: big mac, large fries, chicken nuggets... and for dessert i would have potato chips, cookies, and ice cream. on top of this, i hid food in my room for when i was doing homework. after i'd have my snacks i would go upstairs and have a small package of brownies and pork rinds. in sixth grade i weighed my heaviest at 4'9" and 120lbs. which is over thirty pounds overweight.... over the course of the past year i have lost 20lbs. and am now at 99lbs. and 4'11".

My daughter is 13 almost 14 years old. She is a very active cheerleader dancer and swimmer but when she hits the off season shes gains a little bit of weight (no more than 10 lbs) Anyway Laurie is 5'7" and a half and she weighs about 141 I know she is at a good weight but she doesnt like it. She has very skinny friends who all weigh about 120 at the most and wear size 3 jeans in juniors my daughter wears a size 7. I tried to explain to her that she is not overweight that she doesnt need to diet anymore but she wont listen. She has bough Slimfast with her own money and she can NEVER stop looking at the scale or the mirror. She really wants to lose weight before she enters high school, but most of it is still that baby fat. Please give me some advice i don't know if i should just let her diet or make her stop because i dont want her to ruin herself. Does anyone have any safe diets that could help her? She would like to weigh 120

If your a guy and your fat, read this... Like I said before, I used to be 175, now Im 130. After losing all that weight, ive realized that my musscles in my legs, my chest, and rest of my body are lot bigger (I look buff) compared to my friends. I put on a small t-shirt on that did not fit me 9 months ago, and It makes my friends jelous... the kids at school that use to tease me cause I was fat, Now they are scared of me and its eisier to attract chicks. Anyways, I learned that fat doesent turn into musscle, but carring all that fat is like carring weights which builds musscle each time your doing something. When you lose all that fat, your mussels stays which seems like the myth of "fat turns into mussles". So Im just saying, there are the good advantages of being fat (working out helps when you lose fat or else, you may lose your mussles too) I can feel some abs of mine, I just ganna see if I can lose that fat in my gut during the summer so it will show. Good luck to everyone.

i was watching discovery channel one day and it said that over half of america is over weight. and i can't say i disagree. i am noticing more and more over weight people everyday. and frankly, i am shocked. i am not blaming that on some people (even though that may be the case some time) but i mostly blame fast-food and things that let u do somthing in the confert of staying where u are and not getting up for anything. like remotes. discovery channel says that the reason most people are over weight is because they don't do enough excersize or they eat too much, and usually the case is excersize. it doesn't take much food to stay the way u r if u r over weight. even though it takes alot to make u over weight. for instance a 200 pound human would only have to eat 2000 calories to stay that way perday. it would take a 100 pound person 1000 colories to stay that way and etc. some peopel that are over weight accept the fact that they are and are actually proud of it. now i wouldn't say be proud of being over weight because there are alot of health risk at stake here. like heart attacks come YEARS early. and blood can easily clot. plus, it is harder to find clothes and it can often make a beautiful person ugly (not that looks really do count, but still)but if u r truely proud of being over weight, then be it. the discovery channel also said starving yourself is not the way out. your body will think it is fasting and save energy (fat) into your body and make u gain more weight. so that realy does it do it. and these are true facts for those who doubt. the discovery channel tells no lies. ;-) well i hope u find these true fact helpful.
