hon, please don't let your brother and the rest of your familiy get to you. they should love you for who you are, not what you weigh (as corny as that sounds...). lose the weight to be healthy, not to look like a model. you are valuable no matter what.

Is your family very skinney? because it seems to me that you're probably not all that fat. I bet only 10 or 15 lbs lost could make you look good especially if you tone your muscles.

First of all, it is hard to look like those people on tv, they have personal trainers, and dietitions, and chefs that cook them food. And models have to be so strict to be that thin. my brothers friend is a model, and she said, that one of the guys that she works for had a fit when she had a bag of mcdonalds at the photoshoot, she had to be there for like 6 hours. He told her that most models only bring a few saltine crackers and a waterbottle and told her that she should to. She was already thin and tall and they made her lose 10 or 15 pounds. If you want to be thin and healthy losing 20 pounds should at least take about 2 months. Eat smaller portions, and add lots of fruits and veggies in your diet, drink water, eat whole wheat and whole grain, and cut out refined sugars most of the time, and exercise at least 30 minutes a day, and you can lose 20 pounds in 2 months if your really good. Hope this has helped you!
