Hi,I hope someone can help me. I just want to lose weight but i dont want to tell anyone. Today we were talking about easter and my dad said no easter eggs for me cos i'm getting much too fat and he patted my tummy. He was only joking realy but he also sort of mean it. I keep gaining and gaining and its like i cant stop eating. I feel hungary all the time! I sneak food and cram it in my mouth when no one is there. i have big rolls of fat around my tummy and my arms and legs and bottom and face are also fat. I like my hair but i look DISCUSTING!!!!! At school they call me fatty. I dont let anyone see me cry but i cry about my weigh sometimes. i cant do up my jeans and my belly just kind of bursts over the top of them so i have to wear big shirts to hide it. I know my mom knows i have gained lots of weight. she hasnt said anything realy but when we went out to eat last week she said it would be better to chose something helthy of menu and defenetley not chocolate brownie for desert. I REALY want to be skinny it is my biggest wish. I hate being fat and i dont want summer to come even tho i like to swim cos i dont want to be seen in a swimsuit. Please tell me what to do. I dont want my mom to know i think i am fat or that i am upset about my weight!

talk to your parents about keeping and cooking healthy meals at home. It will help you lose weight. It WILL take time. but beware that your parents may be a little insenstve because they might not know how you feel first hand, but dont let that get you down htink positive eventhough sometimes it seems like the hardest thing to do in the world. And REMEMBER were here for you. Good Luck!!!! I f you want to talk any time my emails are neoqueenserenity173@sailomoon.com (that email's like a million years old but I still use it anyways!) or Newe77@aol.com. I hop eto hear from you soon!!!!!

I have the same prob., My parents r overweight too. My mom will not let us get junk food. I havent weighed myself yet, but i think over time it will help! Ask ur parents not to buy junk food, or limet urself to like 1 soda a week, and 1 junk food a week. People at my school, say "I cant belive ur family car still runs, ur family is so fat!" I would run away and cry. Then they called me a Fat Cry Baby! I HATE BEING FAT!

u no when i was about 9 years 2 12 years old, being skinny was my biggest wish. i used 2 cry and almost attempted suicide. but the answer. finally i was enrolled into a local swim team(even thoguh i looked chubby in the swimsuit). but i also started eating healthy and did a lot of exercise 4 about 4 years, and have made a lifelong change. now i am very fit and love my body. so if u exercise and eat healthy u can lose weight but it wont happen over night. u just have 2 believe in urself. u can do it, and u can be much happier if u really believe in urself! next time ur about 2 pig out say 2 urself..."do i really want 2 eat this food and enjoy it 4 2 minutes then regret it, or do i want 2 skip it and eat something healthy and be happier and proud of my that i did the right thing." next time ask urself that question. remeber........U CAN DO IT!
