Ht. 5'3", Start: 166 lb, Today: 166 lb (BMI %tile: 95), Goal: 140 lb - I never thought I would get to the point where I had to call myself "overweight" I have always been curvier than other people, I have big breast and hips and a small waist, what you would call a pear shaped girl. I have been dieting since I'm about 8 years old, and this subject has become more of a trauma than anything else. I'm always sad because of my weight,I don't do stuff that I would actually like to do because of my insecurities like dancing in public, and because of this I HATE to be seen in public whether it's in the mall or at my school's play. I just hate myself, I feel that I would be such a different person if I lost weight. But the problem is that I have tried every single diet that you could imagine, Atkins, Weight Watchers, The Cayenne pepper cleanser, not eating, eating just rice, name it and I can tell you all about it. I just loose my patience when I see no changes, no immediate changes I just stop what ever diet I'm doing and start to eat again. It's just frustrating. And about boys, don't even mention it, they don't even take a second look at me, and that's the way it's going to be if I don't change.
I need help! because I know that before changing physically I have to change what's in my heart.

I am sorry to hear that, I know how you feel when you dont see changes, it takes two weeks to see changes, eat less, drink a lot of water, dance in your room close the door, in the bedroom. Walking, slow running, do a jog, ride your bike, scctor, walk dog, if you have one, if you dont ask your partens if you can walk your friend dog's with the your friend.. Dont give up to reach your goal..
