Ht. 4'6", Start: 198 lb, Today: 198 lb, Goal: 87 lb - hi i'm sami. i thik i'm the fattest one on this board. my mom and dad support me, but my bro does not. he is 16, and my sister is eighteen, and they are really skinny. it's not fair. they tease me, and my sister puts on my shirts, and says wow dad, these things do not even fit me! my brother and his friends come over, and they talk about me behind my back. my uncle cameover and i heard him ask my dad i don't know what that girl eats, but i'm suprised she can still walk. he also said yo put me on a diet and take me to the gym because my bellyis huge. it makes me feel bad, but then my bro pats my stomach, and calls me whale belly, and double chin. my mom says she would take me to the gym, but when i go, everyone stares at me because i am bigger than my mom and dad. i do not like to excersize, and i can't stop eating. my dad tried to put me on a weight watcher's diet, but everyone makes fun of me. why me? do i have an eating disorder?

dont think negatively just be positive and go to the gym if you want who cares if they give you looks or if you want to try working out at home and drink lots of water and i am sure your siblings are just jealous well if you want to talk more email at wildernes33393@yahoo.com

tell your family to backoff because you don't all the stuff there telling you and if they keep doing it you could get sick.
PS.think that your skinny and it will happen.

I have no siblings so I cannot compare to that but I can help you with the other things. My mum and her sister talk about me all the time. They are two very skinny women and I am the obese 14 year old. Its all they talk about honestly. I have learnt to ignore them. There stupid stupid dumb women who cannot even get themselves a proper job.
My mom took me running and I was really emebarassed but i soon got over it and proved to her what I can do. She was really taken aback. It felt good.
So just keep on working at it because in the end you will have the last laugh.

My parents walk by me sometimes and pat my huge belly and say "You've got a buddha belly!" and that makes me sad.

Um, Leigh, harsh much? And okay, Sami, first thing, don't let what your siblings say to you bother you. It's their job to make you miserable. The first thing you have to realize is that you really want to make this change for yourself and not for your family or friends. Then set your lifestyle change in motion by engaging in lots of activities everyday, and cutting back your fat, sugar, and caloric intake. If you feel like you need to eat first ask yourself "Am I really hungry, or is it something else?" There is a difference between actually hunger and cravings, and you need to establish the difference between the two. When you feel like you want to eat out of boredom, find something else to do, like draw a picture, or write a story. Something to keep you hands and mind busy. Also, if you need something to keep your mouth busy, chew sugar free gum. It really helps, trust me. Good luck and stay strong! <3

it's not like you have some incurable disease or something. so stop whining and feeling sorry for yourself. you actually have control over your weight. if you wanted people to stop making fun of you, you would lose weight.
