(Posted by: me on 2008-12-31 16:24:32)

Im a bit of overweight, but im not fat. Im trying to lose weight- eating healthier, not being so lazy, etc.- but i hate my body. When im at home, i feel fine- im glad i dont look like a pole or obese, haha- but when im with my skinny friends, i feel HUGE! And they all tell me ive lost weight, and im not fat, just a bit thicker, which they say is fine, but i still feel so gross. When i sit down, my fat is obvious, and i hate it. I just hate my body and feel soo gross and huge, but i hate feeling this way. How can i build up my self confidence and feel great in my body?

Girl,I am a 14 year old mixed girl,my grandmother has huge huge huge huge hugeeee hips lol!and she was big boned as well,when I was younger I used to weigh 195 lbs,and one day I looked at myself in the mirror and I knew that I needed to do something before I hit 200 lbs..that would not have been good.You know what i did,the summer of 06,I was in middle school at the time,I decided I was going to try that healthy thing out for a while!I got my mom and dad to buy some chicken breasts,and some white beans.I helped my mom to bake the chicken breasts and she prepared the beans along with a few carrots etc.and an hour after I ate,I got on the treadmill and stayed for 30 minutes a day,I did that after everysingle meal,and I didn't eat anything after I exercised.I lost 8 lbs in one week,but I decided to stop loosing weight.Then in the summer of 07!I lost close to 32 lbs!and when I came back my 8th grade year,everyone noticed and itmade me feel so great inside and out :).I did that by playing that awesome game called DDR!(Dance Dance Revolution!)It's so fun,and at the same time you loose weight.!You should really try it,Gamestop has them,and also Wii games make you get up and go as well,they have a wide variety of exercise games such as Yoga,and even a boxing game.If you really hate your body that much!It's up to you to do it girl and i beileve in you!When you do it you will feel great ^.^

Just be happy to be yourself. Honestly, you shouldn't care about what anybody else thinks. When you think you're beautiful, others see that and they think so too. It's not easily described.
