I never really liked my body but over a span of 3 years i gained 28lbs!!! did i ever hate it. I tried dieting so much but..i love food what can i say..i even wasted 1500$ so far on a personal trainer..i dropped that. Just recently i was away on vacation and met this guy..a total hottie. We had met 6 years back and when i came back he was surprised to see me. We hung out a bit and i guess he started to like me. I came back home..and we talked..texted each other. Now that we have a thing going and i bought a ticket to go see him again in 2 months..im not hungry..i lost 10lbs in about a week and I'm still going strong. My secret was that i needed a man..i want to so bad go back and surprise him when i see him at that airport...i want to give him the gift of a new hot me because he believed in me and always told me i was perfect the way i was(even tho trust me, everyone likes a chick with a hot bod). he was my inspiration.:) Right now though, i'm already planning on how i will maintain the weight that i want to be without gaining it back. Thats the most important thing. because it sucks when u put all that hard work and effort and then accidently slowly slump back to being fat. I'm already planning it out so that that doesn't happen! Hope my story helps anyone who needs that little boost. by the way..i'm 17, 5'5. my starting weight was 148lbs(id lost a little before meeting him due to the personal training) and this morning i weighed myself at an 133lbs! only 13 more pounds to go and I'll be at my goal!! wish me luck! xoxoxo</p> okay..so i’ve been fat for a long time now.

I'm thirteen.. I've suffered three years of pain, i cried every day. On the third year i forced myself to get better. Bhut then i resorted to cutting myself. Everytime i look in the mirror i see a fat girl. I've began to ask my cousins and sisters if i look fat constantly. I've gone through breakdowns too many times. Nobody i know understands how i feel. They don't know how much it hurts to call me fat, To discuss with others how "big" i am. So many times i had to hold in my tears. Sometimes i feel i can only find peace when i sleep. Sometimes i wish i could sleep forever. Even though now im silently crying, feeling pain , and i'm just broken, i know when i wake up i'll pretend nothing happened, that everythings okay again. i've tried telling someone, bhut they don't care ... after a couple hours its back to whatever was most important.. their bf, hair , whatever.. Well yeah. just another life of a hopeless teen..</p> I’m only here to say what i feel. I’m thirteen.. I’ve suffered three years of pain, i cried every day.
