I've been fat my whole life- exept for a 1-week period when I was 11. My weight makes me feel sad, unwanted, unloved, depressed, worthless, and basically a failure as a person. I'm 14 now. I've considered suicide so many times.

I'm actually a shapely person (meaning i'm close to a bottomheavy hourglass- not a pear or apple) so I feel liek I look "fine" most of the time... but ultimately i feel like a complete fatass.

The thing is- I can't stick to a diet and keep the weight off for more than about 3 weeks. I was 160 in september- but I gained it back without even trying.

I've been all the way up to 183.

I take 4 dance classes and I work out on my elliptical trainer/treadmill as often as I can (usually about 2-4 times per week). I really don't even eat that much at all.

I DO NOT eat junk food or candy-type things.


why am I fat? is it because I'm negative and depressed?

ps: i'm pretty (facial features, skin/hair) but i don't feel pretty because i'm fat. (link)
okay, first of all, stop calling yourself fat. that just lowers your self esteem right off the back. you need to see yourself as having a shape. something a lot of skinny people dont have. secondly, diet and exercise are good things to do when your like 30 or something. your 14, you are growing still. your developing, your body is taking on new things. the only logical reason i can thing of for you being shapely is that your metabolism is just a little slower and you cant help that. you are doing all the right things now by staying away from junk food and stuff. just be happy with who you are and the shape you have. be so proud of it. hope i helped.

thank you for your help and your confidence boost, but I stopped growing and developing when I was 12. So i've already reached my full adult development/growth potential. most people say that I look 18.

I'm not one of those regular little 32AAA 14-yr-old chicks.

i'm far from that, believe me.
