Hi. I'm 15 years old 5'9" and I weight 240 pounds. I play volleyball i use to play soccer but this year i'm not signing up, because I'm too embarressed now. I plan on playing softball in the spring. It really doesn't matter how much I exercise it not going to help. Because it only makes me more hungry. So I eat more and not good stuff but junk food. I also don't eat a balanced meal. I eat more bread then anything and I don't eat meat. I'm always told to eat salads well guess what I don't eat those either. I just can't stand the taste of lettuce. I don't like crunchy veggies like carrots and celery because they don't have a taste. I drink and eat a lot of dairy products. And i don't eat to many fruits. I also have a very big problem with salt, almost everything has salt on it. The rest of my family don't have this problem. They eat what they want and when they want. And they never gain a pound. We always have junk food in the house. Which i can't resist. I'm only a freshman in high school so lunch's are really hard. On the weekends I eat ok meals but I always snack. I'm on the new soy protien slim fast. But after i drink it i'm still hungry so i turn to junk food. High fat foods are just about the only thing that fill me up. I could eat 2 pounds of fruits and veggie and not me full. Can sombody please help me. If you have and vegetarian meals andeasy indoor exercise's please email me vball34@infa.net.You can also use my instant messanger screen name mischievous34 . Thanks bye.
