Im sure you are a beautiful girl. If you want to lose some wieght whic you are completely normal just try some crunches besides if you are running everyday from soccer you are already getting enough exercise [ gcfreakadoodle's advice column | Ask gcfreakadoodle A Question ]

seriously.
I've told people to do that before.
If you can't walk past a mirror without finding flaws with yourself - it is time to break the mirror. Stop putting yourself down, stop seeing the negative in yourself. Break the mirror.
If weight is really bothering you, start with examining your diet, and make sure it is appropriately balanced. Change your workout routine - don't lift weights to build muscle... lift weights to tone the muscle you have - that way, you're not building more mass, just shaping and toning the muscle you already have. Talk to a trainer about how to make that change if you don't know yourself (generally, less weight and more reps). If you're not already, try jogging/running a bit more in place of some of the weight lifting you've been doing - keeps you in shape and builds your endurance.
And most importantly - If people tell you that you aren't fat, maybe... just maybe they know what they're talking about. Take the time to listen to them... break the mirror. Be happy with yourself. Digging for faults is never a good thing to do, especially to yourself. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
