Whatever you do, DO NOT KILL YOURSELF! I know that it can be upsetting to be overweight, but there are ways that you can achieve your goals! Now that summer will be here before you know it, this will give you a great oppertunity to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors by going for walks, jogs, bike rides and even playing a favourite sport. That's what I do in the summer and I always enjoy it. Remember that you should eat lots of healthy foods (Preferably fruits, vegetables, milk products and lean meats) and stay away from fried foods and foods with lots of calories and high fat. Remember, losing weight does take time, but if you put your mind to it, then you can achieve anything and you will be satisfied with your results in the end! Good Luck!

THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO LIFE THAN YOUR WEIGHT!! it's summer, so try to get some exercise in, and try to make healthy decisions when choosing what to eat. you should tell a doctor or parent if you are depressed. you might want medicine so you don't feel as depressed. it's not the end of the world if you can't lose weight, you have the rest of your life and you don't want to miss out! love, angel
