Hi, I'm having really problems, I'm 5'1 in height and between 170-80 pounds (11-12st) It's really getting me down, I get teased at all the time. I'm really obese. If I see food I eat it, and the school canten is murder, all them chips and donuts, I always really pig out, I can't run for anylonger than 30secs and in P.E in school i have to run a mile, It's awful, anyone got any tips, please send them.

When you're feeling hungry, grab some fruit or vegetables. Eat lots of those. And make sure you drink water, you can mistake hunger for being thirsty.
Practice running, a little at a time. Run for as long as you can, then walk, then run as fast as you can, then walk...and repeat.
