Next time your dad says you're perfect the way you are, tell him you really aren't & you want to do something about your weight, before it's too late. I know exactly how you feel, so don't think you're alone. =]

Most of the time it's what you eat. But, you have to portionize the food you eat. & Cut it by half.

Start drinking water, no more sodas or anything like that. But if you're a big soda drinker, try cutting it down to one can of soda daily. You can't really argue about that, seen as if your dad doesn't buy you bottled water, you could just drink tap water.

Don't snack AS much. And if you do, try and replace the bags of Doritos with an apple or a banana, something healthy, like a fruit or veggie.

Try and reduce sugar intake & replace it with calcium, [such as milk, yogurt, & cheeses.]

Here's a website that provides you with a lot of helpful healthy tips, that should guide you through weight loss:

There's honestly nothing to be embarassed about. By the time I was in grade 8, I weighed the same as you... it took me till recently to realize that the girls who look like sticks aren't as attractive as a girl who is happy with her curves :)

First, i want to tell you 120 is not fat at all, i know people who are not fat, and weigh more than you-fat weighs less than muscle. You could go to the market with your dad, and pick out healthy foods. Another thing you could do is start running, or even walking. Get some friends together and go outside and play a sport, or even just go for a run together. Just make it fun for yourself, maybe go outside and play soccer, or basketball, and bring out a boom box and listen to music. The key to losing weight is eat healthy in moderation, and exerscize, adn I believe that the key to exersize is to have fun!
