Hey everybody,....I was always a very small person until the middle of my 8th grade year,...i started gaining weight very rapidly. In 8th grade i weighed somewhere around 135 pounds i now weigh 186 pounds and am only 5'8,....everyone tells me i'm beautiful, but i want to think that of myself and right now that's the last thing i'm thinking. I'll be a sophmore next year and i don't want to be this unhappy. I ready for advice and willing to change!! Help me!

Hi Caitlin!
I am also 15. I weigh 196lbs and I am only 5"5. I can understand how u r feeling. Everyone tells me i'm beautiful 2, but its hard to believe them when you dont feel that u r beautiful yourself. I know that I need to lose weight before I can begin 2 feel that I am beautiful. I would love 2 help u. If u want a weight loss buddy then u can email me at: alwayzsmiling4u@yahoo.co.uk
we could exchange tips, and help eachother with our diets.
