First of all... those people that tease you are retarded. They're shallow, because they just see whats on the outside, i bet if they took the time to get to know you they would figure out that you are actually a cool person. I have always been a lot bigger then everyone else at my school... i weigh just a little over 200 lbs. (but am on a diet) I think that confidence is the thing. If you see yourself as a beautiful person, thats how other people will see you. About the diet, My mother and I started weight watchers, and i've lost 24 lbs. so if your really overweight you could try that. But if you just need to lose a few pounds, just try cutting out desserts, pop, and junk food. and Drink LOTS of water!! If you wanna talk some more e-mail me freak4HIM17@yahoo.com :-D

You don't have to be skinny to love yourself. But to lose weight exercise more often and eat smaller portionas and cut out junk food and soda.
