Hi everyone, this is my first time posting. I just turned 15 on July 2nd, Im 5'6 and I wiegh 193 pounds. The most I've ever weighed was 204. I've been overwieght most of my life... I've kept to myself alot in the past. I hardly In elementary, I would never take off my jacket and hood because it was my security blanket. I felt like they couldnt see me. Middle school was tough too, I still wore my jacket 6&7th grade. I was still made fun of, but I had gotten used to it, so it never really bothered me... then one day... I disconnected the phone while my sister was still on it, and she got mad and called me a 'stupid fat ass'. That broke my heart... my sister and I are soooo close... she was quite literally my only friend... then... when she called me that name... I was alone. To this day Im still made fun of... mostly by my siblings. Things at school are fine, no one really makes fun of me any more. But boys are a major problem. I have had 3 boyfriends. My first one cheated on me, and the last two turned gay. I have had crush after crush but have been too scared to make a move. I feel like they wont even give me a second look. It hurts really bad when you feel like your not beautiful. I really want to loose weight though... ALOT OF IT. My goal is to get down to a size 7 and Im currently at a 16. I dont have a specific time frame... just ASAP. I would really really like the imput of everyone here... I will take every bit of advice I can get. Please share your secrets!

Hey guys, I know what you mean, I use to wear really big shirts and stuff to hide the fat, and then last summer I decided that that wasn't me, so I wore different clothes, like t-shirts that were short, well not short, but just a little under my belly button and I wore some pretty cool pants. I use to not own any denim shorts, but now I do and I love wearing them. Do not put yourself under clothes and stuff, u will just look bigger than you really are, HOPE I HELPED!!!

All I have to say is almost everyone finds true love one day. Just be yourself and don't try to be someone else.

I know how you feel about the sibling teasing. my sister does it all the time, and I try to ignore it but sometimes it bubbles over. i came on here once and had a rant about her. So if it gets too much, we're here to listen.

i have the same thing with the jacket, still i wear big bulky sweaters past the time when others are wearing shorts.even though it's not much solace, but sometimes siblings say things they don't mean- i know i've said some thing i don't mean and have regreted saying ever since. anopther thing is you didn't "turn" anyone gay. they were born that way- it just didn't click in their minds that that was why they were different, either that or they were in denial when they were going out with you. and three boyfriends?! that's a lot- i've only really gone out with 2 guys and had one blind date- but the second guy i'm still going out with and he's great so there is hope out there. you're close to the beginning of your weight loss and i'm near the end but we still seem to have a lot in common. my email is red8705@hotmail.com talk to me if you ever need a friend...
