I don't know if this works but I heard once that if you tell yourself everyday that you can lose weight and you are not going to give up while looking in the mirror it helps build your self-confidence so you wont feel you need to give up. It sounds weird I know. Like I said - I don't know if it works or not - but it couldn't hurt. Good Luck!!!!

I just want to encourage you all, and to help you gain a little perspective! It makes my heart hurt to see girls my age and younger consumed in misery over their outside, and feeling worthless because of it. By all means, lose weight! Be healthy! But love your body, and take good care of it. Don't let losing weight become your whole life, only let it be a small part. Take joy in your hobbies, do things that you love to do. Heck, take up a new one! I love vollyball, acting, and painting. And I love old movie stars and the 50's! redecorate your room. Let how you dress and act reflect your personal style. The more amazingly interesting you become, the more people want to know you and are attracted to you. It's the truth, I promise, but do it for YOU! I promise that people care about you, never insult yourself by underestimating your worth. You are worth more than the moon and stars!

If you think your life sucks, I bet you all I have that mine is a lot, lot worse. I have been fat since I can remember, and currently weigh 324 lbs. I have a set of scales in my room but most of the time I'm too ashamed to even stand on them. I don't even have a pretty face. Whenever my mom drags me off to the shops I usually end up in tears surrounded by gorgous slim girls. The other day I was in a store and I saw a blue summer dress I really liked. I got the biggest size and tried it on, but when I tried to get it off the zip got stuck. The asisstant had to come and try and get it off, but she had to come and get her friend to help her because it was stuck fast. I ended up running out of the shop in tears. Its even worse at school. They've managed to think up every mean name accosiated woth being fat that there is. My mom is overweight too and says I'm being stupid when I try to diet, and fills the house with junk food which I can't resist. You guys mean so much to me and any suggestions you come up with will really help. Thankyou!!

hi there if i was you i would be proud of who i am one of my close friends is big and she is always putting herself down and that only makes things worse. i mean i understand how she feels she is always getting laughed at and the advice i would give you is to stand strong and be who you are dont worry about what people say as long as you and your mates stick together you will be fine and also if you do feel really sad i would talk to some one which i can trust such as your mum and dad to exspress you feeling that usally makes you feel better.

Hey! I would say that the first step you have to take to lose weight is to believe you can and dont expect to lose weight really soon it takes work! I usually run, ride a bike, or do a girl on the T.V. called Denise Austin. If you stick to it and to the best you can you will lose weight! also watch what ya eat! i'm volleyballplayer2203@yahoo.com if ya wanna talk

Don't give up your trying.A tip i could possibly give you is trying a weight loss program. I worked WONDERS for me. ITs really build your self esteem when you loose weight. Exercise and eat healthy and you'll don fine!

hey reggie,
as we all know we must exercise everyday at least 20 minutes so our body could release toxins that are not good for us and elle woods was right when she said that exercise releases endorphins that makes us happy so while we are all in our exercise and diet routine we all feel less stressed so we dont worry bout those people who tells us we are fat we just know the fact that we are losing weight and no body can stop us to reach our goal and do our best!!!
Good Luck reggie!!

Ht. 5'9", Today: 330 lb (BMI %tile: 98) - I just wanted to say that you guys need to accept who you are before you do anything. Im 5'9 and 330 pounds and I know its bad for me but honestly im able to ignore peoples comments and im only trying to lose because I know its bad for me. But the first step to weight loss is accepting you who are and getting over other peopels comments. You will find it much easier to lose weight if you can ignore poepls mean comments.
Reply From Jman - 12/28/02 - IP#: 65.57.25.xxx show message replied to go to original board
This is totally true, guys. For years I was about the same BMI but always felt horrible about myself, and lived in fear that someone would ask my weight or something. Sure enough, recently I've stopped worrying, and learned to accept myself for who I am, while eating slightly smaller portions. I've lost 2 inches and 10 pounds this way.
