& i love food so yes that would be hard to be real strict.

Exercise is the fastest way to take care of those abs. As for dieting: If you are 5 feet tall you should weigh ABOUT 100 lbs, with 5 lbs. added for each 1 inch. This is for a healthy body, not for an anorectic body such as those seen on actresses, etc.
I'm not certain what the problem is with losing weight and your breasts. My daughter, at your age, was a 36DD. I tried to encourage her to get a breast reduction because breasts as large as hers will eventually give her back problems. Your breasts aren't that large.
If you're worried about getting smaller breasts with diet, don't. You would have to be on a starvation diet to do much about them...at least until you have a baby. (Breasts do weird things during and after childbirth).

Good luck! And if you lose weight, do it very slowly...you just don't have that much to lose.

bio

I have had what I term a "soap opera life". In other words, I've seen it all. Almost.

I work in health care and I'm as old as the hills (not that old, I guess--but I'm definitely not a kid) so feel free to ask whatever you like.
