From Jacquelyn, Age 12

I am very overweight. I don't tell my friends my weight or size in pants. I am very embarrassed, and here I am telling you all. I am 12, going on 13 in June,and I wear a size 16. I am very fat. This may sound stupid, but I have a paper route. I walk 2 miles everyday, and I really have no choice, because the paper route is a must do...everyday. I weigh somewhere from 160-180. I have no clue how much I weigh, because I am not so sure if the scale I use is accurate. I am trying to cut down eating a lot, and eat 20 grams a day. Everyone is giving me comments that I look like I am losing a lot of weight. My pants are even starting to feel a bit loose, but I want to get down to a single digit. I don't even feel like I am losing weight, though. I am fat. I mean, the pants may feel lose, but I could just be thinking that because I want them to feel loose. Does anyone have any tips? Also, maybe some of you know of a teen weight loss program. My parents say just exercise, and eat the right foods. I am not really active in sports, but I want to get into tennis, volleyball, and tae kwon doe. I might even start yoga. So please, if you have any tips, let me know. Please send your responses to Jackie5302@aol.com if possible. Thanks so much!
