hey guys! guess what i'm starting a diet tommorrow hopefully but this time im really excited. my parents are signing me up for a gym and i cant wait ive begged them for yrs. anyway im a little annoyed u see i'm the only fat one in my family and my entire family likes to call me names or make me feel bad w/o even realizing it. it really hurts me and im so tired of it. my mom made me see a doctor and she was so mean she called me huge and fat and made me seriously cry i am still mad at my mom for making me go, and u know what a month later she made me see a nutrition. no offense but i'm not stupid all the nutrition did was say dont eat fatty foods, watch calorie intake, and blah blah blah stuff i already knew. its really annoying when u feel like everyone is against u. u feel like everyone in school judges u and even your parents and siblings. i had homecoming a few months ago and i was really excited to go w/ a lot of my friends of course none guys. it took me a month to find a dress that fit me i was so mad. i hate looking for clothes b/c i get annoyed. im a very stylish person and most are impressed that i dress as good as i do w/ my weight but i still dont look good in anything and i still cant bare to buy stuff knowing what size it is and how bad it looks anyway. u know what i hate most of all jeans. they annoy me so much i can never find a pair that fits me right. i have a big stomache but sort of small legs so i wear a size 18 and i have no room left in the stomache area but like 6 inches hanging off my legs it looks rediculous. i really hope i can loose weight. its so annoying trying to loose weight. i hate looking this way and i think it sort of ruins my life. i have a lot of friends but they all go shopping together and they use me as the stylist and i dress them up. i can never play along w/ them or even buy clothes when they r there b/c they wear sizes 1 or 3 and i wear size 18. they dont even realize i weigh 240lbs they think i weigh like 170lbs.( little do they know) i want to ask someone on here a question if they lost more than 120lbs. please answer if u have ok here it is.... Do u have any sagging skin? i hope not b/c that's one of my biggest fears why should i loose all this weight and still look bad b/c of sagging skin. ok bye u guys thanks for reading this long letter

dont worry! unless you loose the weight SUPER fast, like in a month, your skin wont be saggy! Think about it, when a skinny person gets fat, their skin isnt all streched and splitting cuz theres not enough, is it? No, so if you lose the weight at a healthy pace, then your skin will keep up with you and shrink as well! good luck! OH and i have the same kind of problem, cept the other way around! My thighs are bigger then my hips, so i have to get size 14 pants and thats way too big from my stomach so my pants are always falling down!!

don't worry about your skin. The younger you are, the more elasticity in your skin and the less it will wrinkle when you lose the weight. But even if it does a little bit, which would you rather have.. a little extra skin, or a lot of extra weight?

you HAVE to excorsie arobic and weight lifting and you should have no problems with sagging skin beacause you are still young but if you dont excorsise you might and probably WILL have sagging skin...
