From Sarah, Age 15

Ht. 5'9", Today: 185 lb, Goal: 130 lb - Hey everyone. Ok...here it goes...My name is Sarah, I'm 15, 5'9" and I weigh 185 pounds. I have been overweight since I was about 5. The problem is that my parents always gave me what I wanted. If I wanted some ice cream, they'd give it to me right away...if I wanted cookies...I got them. I'm their first child, so they basically never wanted to say no to me. Then I started getting chubby, but they didnt really mind bcuz they thought I would grow out of it. Well guess what? I never grew out of it. Very young I developed a horrible habbit of over eating. I eat SO MUCH junk food...just thinking about it disgusts me. Ever since about 3rd grade I've wanted to lose weight. I always say "ok, now i'm gonna do it. by next school year i'll be skinny like everyone else." But it never happened. I'm in 10th grade now, and I'm about half way through the year. Now I'm putting my foot down. I'm sick of having to wear jackets everyday just to hide my fat. I want to wear cute little clothes, i want to be able to jump around without having my fat jiggle, i want to feel good about myself and have a better self image. My ultimate goal is to weigh 130 by August. Then I can start 11th grade slim. Right now I'm motivated to lose as much weight as possible before June. See, I like this guy, and he likes me. But neither of us can date until we are 16, so by June we will both be 16 and can finally date. I want him to have a girl friend that he can be proud of, and more importantly, i want to be proud of myself. If you have any tips or words of advice/incouragement, please reply to this. I wish everyone else luck...you can do it if I can!
