I weigh 237 pounds and I hate myself! Everyone (including my parents) think I don't care about my body because if I did I would be excercising and Involved in sports. I don't want to be lonely and fat forever. I want to go to the prom and dress in cute things from the gap and 579 but I can't! All of my friends are so beautiful and fit. They make me sick sometimes complaining how they are sooo fat. Most of them weigh within the range of 98-140 lbs. I'm so ashamed of being 100lbs fatter than them that I just smile and listen to them complain about their 'fat' bodies. I do want to change, but I can't. I honestly try to excercise but I never stick to it. I would love to be on a sports team but I am always last to finish laps and everyone roots me on saying"come on , you can do it" and "your doin wonderful girl" Lies! All lies. It's like they sympathize for me being fat. It's embarassing. I'm in the 97th percentile of 13 year old girls my age. Oh don't get me started with sports! I have big boobs so they jiggle everytime I run so guys make mean commments and girls act like I'm trying to flaunt my burdensome breasts. All these old 30 year old men check me out no 14 or 16 year olds. Wanna know why? Iam fat! i hate myself I might as well die.

First of all don't pay attention to the calculator on this site. I'm at the 96th percentile of my height and age but I am perfectly healthy and I'm at a good weight for my height (5'10", 157lbs...my BMI is 22.6) so DON'T LISTEN to this calculator. I think you should see your doctor about this and he/she can definately help you out. They won't ridicule you or anything doctors want to help people so don't be afraid! You can do it! :)

Hi. I may not be a girl but believe me I kinduf know how you feel. Some people in my class say that for christmas that they will get me a bra. This really hurts. Then this one time at camp one of the leaders asked if I had forgoughten my bra in the cabbin. Just because I was wereing a muscle shirt.

i understand what u mean. I have the same problem's. My friends are also REALLY thin, & its so annoying when they talk about how fat they are and i just have 2 sit quietly when i just want 2 have a go at them. They dont understand what it is truely like 2 be fat. Its really hard. Its not like fat people chose to be that way. Im trying 2 lose weight but am finding it really hard 2 do alone. If u would like 2 be email buddies, u can email me at: alwayzsmiling4u@yahoo.co.uk

I completely and totally know how you feel. I used to weigh over 200 lbs., and it was horrible what a hard time other kids my age gave me. I worked so hard to lose weight and now I am under 200 finally. It is sooo stupid how everyone atomatically makes all sort of assumptions about people based on their weight. I still need to lose more weight, mabye we could help eachother? If so, email me at alina_restana@angelfire.com. U can do it, good luck :-)
