I know how you feel Jazmin, dont be discourged I felt the same way almost a year a go.. I know what it was like to be upset about my weight, over a year a go, you know what I used to dislike swiming because of my stomach, I never gave up, I am loseing weight by exriseing, eating less, dont eat in front of your computer or the tv, eat only in the kitchen, or outside if you have a back pouch that has a table with a bench, ride a bike or scctor, running, jog, walking, up to town, for an hour walking around or walk the dog, try swiming alone at first in your backyard if you have one.... Dont give up reacing to your goal, I felt the same way last year...
Eat small blanced meals, veggtables, and furit, Strawberries, other healhty furits that are in sessean. Drink 8 glass of water everyday.... Replace junk food, with healthy snacks... Instead, drink diet snapple, Spring water.... You can reach 135 pounds by your trip for swiming by eating less, and excriseing more often and drinking more water, and less sugar drinks, I promise you will be happy and feeling better about yourself...
Frisber is a fun actictvy to play outside when it is nice outside with a friend or with your mom, or dad... Sister.. This tip workks very well, only eat when you are truely hungery... I have done track it helps me lose, weight,, do running after school in your back yard,, instead of eating because you are borad.. I have done this many times... It has worked..
I hope I have helped...
