thanx for listening..........
Negative vibes suck- I used to be told constantly that I couldn't break the 300 lb bench mark by the time I was 17. I used that as motivation; but didn't take it too serious because I knew that I was going to do it because I willed myself to do it.
Don't hate yourself for how you look now- you didn't know any better; and now you realize that there is a problem that needs to be fixed and you really have to have the desire to want to fix it. I won't lie- it isn't easy but it also isn't impossible. Trust me- you CAN lose the weight - but it's all up to you to have the right mind frame and do the necessary work. Once you start to see that the pants you have now are beginning to become a bit more loose- you will feel great and if you continue to work at it- soon they will be too big for you and then you will feel and look like a totally different person.
You are the boss of your body- own up now to how you look and say "You know what- I can change and I WILL change"
I don't mean to sound like Richard Simmons; I certainly don't want to look like him- that's for sure :-P But put your best foot forward- erase these negative thoughts and get yourself in the right mind frame- I'll give you some guidelines to help you get started in the right direction if you're interested.
i'm not the skinniest person either, but i have some tips for you. after i watched MTV's Made True life: i'm obese, i realized that it doesnt matter if i have a little extra flab. One of the girls in the show was obese and was a struggling model. it showed her going to an audition, and she was the only fat girl there, and she made it. she was pretty AND fat. it is possible. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) << i did this diet, and i lost 7 pounds in 6 days. it's an unhealthy diet since you don't eat carbs, but you should only do it for 1 week at a time.
you might also want to try to search for a summer plus-size or "fat" camp that you could go to for people your age. that would be cool, and you could make friends who are going through the same thing as you.
also, here in NY in malls there is a plus size shop called Torrid that has super cute styles for plus size teens. its such a cute store! i've seen it before.
heres some encouraging words from me:
you know what?? screw what other people say, you know you're beautiful and you should take pride that you have curvy hips and are full figured and not annorexic. take pride in who you are, God made you this way, he made you beautiful, you just have to let the world know that, and shine like the star you are. You dont need to be thin to succeed in life!

A lot of people around me would joke about me being fat, when really i was completly under weight. that was about 8 months ago, and now, I'm completely healed. It took me a while to be comfortable with my body again, and love what God gave me. It was also hard because at my worst point, i chose to break the news to my boyfriend, who dumped me, and it was alot of stress. Suicide, eating disorders, drugs. its all bad. It may sound like the best solution, because trust me i know it does. but when you look back you see that the people who truly love and care about you will not judge you & say mean things to you. Try confronting your mom & sister. Tell them that you really don't appriciate the put-downs, and as hard as it might be, tell them what your thinking. I told my mom, and she helped me cope, and luckly i never had to go to a doctor or counsler. Moms are supposed to be there for you. But if she continues, remember she IS verbaly ABUSING you. & honey, thats NOT okay. Seek help.
sugar03 answered Wednesday January 3 2007, 4:54 pm: Ok... first, describe to me exactly what fat and skinny is. Honestly everyone is different in their own way, if everyone was just skinny or everyone was just fat there would be no variation!You are seeing it as black&white, your either fat or skinny. Right now i do not think much of your mother, no one should tell that to their child no matter what they look like or who they want to be. You can be anything you want to, the only thing that is holding you back is yourself! Just beleive in yourself and see what happens. And if you are really worried about being fat, do pialtes or something trust me it works! it tones you and everything, but only do it if YOU want to... dont do it for anyone else [ sugar03's advice column | Ask sugar03 A Question ]
