If ur afraid to lose weight because of and eating disorder dont try to lose weight when You get made fun of say I dont care what you say cause you cant bring me down and walk away mean while have fun losing weight like riding your bike or dancing with your friends.

Try to tell your parents. Then they can talk to your doctor and find out what you should do. Until then, just keep doing what you are doing, eating what you are eating and just brush off the teasing.

afraid to get thin, you’re already doing a great job by addressing the situation!! Ali is right, focusing on being healthy and not on getting thin will probably help you more. And by exercising you’ll probably feel better and less embarrassed, too!

If people make fun of you then they are not the kind of people you should hang-out with. Pray to God and ask for help. God loves YOU just the way you are. And you could talk to your parents or teacher or someone that you can really TRUST!!! You are beautiful to God and that is really all that matters!!!! Trust in God to help you through this situation.

don’t worry bout ur body - people should love u 4 who u r

I have a friend thats over weight but the thing is to try to eat healthy and don’t go on a diet. Try eating veggies and fruits.

You can try the web site and make a pyramid for what you should be eating. www.mypyramid.gov

I am on the chubby side too some people make fun of me but I know I have friends and they seem to like me for who I am!!!

GOOD LUCK!

Here is a plan that I am sure will work:

1. Choose smarter choices in food.
2. Play out side every day.
3. And the most important: be comfortable with your self and remember weight does not matter its the way you feel most comfortable in.

I also feel like I’m too fat cause I am overweight.You are so brave to wright what other people are feeling ,too -Geraldine

I am chubby and short and guys tell me that sometimes but you know i love myself and that’s all that matters!(but i wouldn’t mind being thin)

it doesn’t matter if you are “fat” or not….you’re beautiful the way you are!!!

I am kinda chubby myself and I know how it feels to be teased.But as long as you don’t worry about what other people think and you like yourself the way you are then you’ll be alright.

There’s a girl at my school that teases people, and calls them names all the time. There’s always going to be people that tease you, and make fun of you for many different reasons. If you’re comfortable with who you are that’s all you need. Besides its what’s on the inside that counts. If someone won’t go past another’s apperance, they are missing out on a good friend then.

I bet it isn’t as bad as you think! I have a friend who is only slightly chubby, and she makes a really big deal about it. Eventually, my friend and I who like hanging out with her a lot took her aside and showed her the mistake she’d made. So don’t worry; your BFFs will stick with you no matter what and no matter how intense the teasing! Hang in there & GOOD LUCK!! :)

I used to be worried about my weight but now I’ve found that when I eat healthy foods, I feel so much better. Now I choose fruit over cake for dessert and it suits my body so much better. Being healthy is a choice everyone should make because it is VERY important.

Don’t think about what other people think. Just lose weight and ignore those people meanwhile!

If you don’t have a sport that interests you, (I don’t) then if you happen to have a dog who likes to run, then you could go for a walk with him every night. By the way, you don’t have to comepletely stop eating to lose weight. If you stick to smaller portoins of the things that you eat, then you don’t have to worry about an eating disorder. Good Luck!

Well we’re all different shapes and sizes. Im not that skinny myself. Just eat healthier and things will get better. The people who say things to you say if you dont like the way I look then dont look at me!!!! You shouldn’t live to please other people.

I’m NOT AT ALL skinny, and these guys make fun of me. But, you have to learn to ignore it. Just try to restrain yourself from getting upset and not say anything, and soon, people that are picking on you will think it doesn’t bother you and will stop! ♥♥

I am chubby to and i AM trying a diet but i did lose about 5 or 10 pounds but i still have a long time for it!! Mostly you have to eat less, eat healthier foods and get a bunch of exercise!!!!! That is what i have been doing, and try different foods to!! - new healthy foods -

• somebody just like you!!

I’m overweight too! A lot of people tease me about, and it really does hurt. I think you’re brave to try to change. Good luck! ☺

I know how you feel I see people doing that to kids but you know what I do? I march up there and say “Hey! How would you feel If people were saying ‘HA HA (SOMEONES NAME) TOO SKINNY!’?”

i’m so glad that you wrote this in becuase i feel the same way too and people tease me about it all the time and i hate it, i want to change for the better this summer and i really want to reach my goal

I am also overweight People don’t make fun of me (i hope) but the best way to lose weight is just to eat healtheir. That is what I am starting to do!

Don’t worry. People in my school tease me too, because I’m sorta overweight. The main thing is that people who tease are there and they will get tired of teasing you. In the mean time, you also have people that care about you. All you have to do is just be proud of who you are! Just be happy.

I am pretty skinny but the only reason I am is because I get into lots of different sports and activities, otherwise I eat a lot! So if I were you I’d just get active and eat mostly healthy foods ( it is ok to eat other foods once and a while just not all the time.)

I am chubby too. I am losing weight now, though. All you have to do is eat less(dont be eating 24/7) and what you do eat try to make it healthy for you. Dont eat a lot of junk food. Also, you should exercise. Exercising helps you stay fit and loose weight at the same time. Eat right and exercise and you will loose weight! Good luck. :)

Well… i know that feeling that way can be a hard situation but remember… the people who tease you about your weight and stuff are just not very confident with how they look. Everyone has some kind of issue that they have with themselves and obviously they have to handle their own problem in an immature way. About the dieting idea… i would have to say that there is NOTHING wrong with eating healthy and exercising… of course unless you go overboard and do it the wrong way. Make sure your parents or who ever watches you knows that you want to o this… and who knows… maybe they will want to do it with you!! it makes it a lot easier if you eat healthy as a family. what ever you do you have to be happy with yourself. if you don’t respect yourself nobody will.

If someone teases you ignore them! I don’t care what people think about me and you shouldn’t either! If you want to lose weight than i guess no one can stop you but make sure its what you really WANT to do and nobody’s forcing you also don’t go on a diet just eat right and stay fit [diets can be dangerous]. Good Luck oh and to you Happy 4th Of July!!!

I used to get teased a lot for being overweight too. I have since grown taller and slimmed down but remember that your true friends will like you and not make fun of you no matter what you weigh and those who do make fun of you now will still be jerks even if you do lose weight…they might find something else to make fun of so it’s best to try to ignore them the best you can. Just remember you are not alone…everyone gets teased for something or other.

nobody’s perfect! i have a friend who is a little overwieght but she is secure with herself. and instead of thinking “well no more mcdonalds for me!” eat healthy and work out that makes your body healthy! also do things in moderation one day have half of your cookie than the next day you can have the other half! hope my advice helped!

Try getting involved in dance, soccer, swimming, basketball, etc. If you get your body moving regularly you’ll feel better and your body will too. Try not eating tons of junk food and ice cream. Instead of going for ice cream try yogurt. Instead of Soda try Fruit Juice. And don’t try to go on one of those scary diets where you barely eat anything. You can actually starve to death

When i was 12, i was a little over 130 pounds. For me at the time, it was overweight. I went on a diet were i simply tried to eat as little as possible to the point were i would sit on my bed battling hunger. DON”T GO THERE! If my parents hadn’t realized somthing was up, my obsession with being thin would have led to anorexia. Instead, eat less junk food and more fruits and vegetables, drink milk or water instead of soda, and exercise regularly. And most importantly, know that your appearance is a small part of who you are. Your true friends don’t care what you look like!

Whenever a person teases you about your weight, you should ignore them and then tell an adult that you trust to give good advice. About going on a diet? If this is something you really want to do, you should see a doctor first. He or she will tell you if this is the right decision.

Dont go on a diet those can be dangerous, i would just start eating heathier i am on the chubby side myself. If you like a boy and you want him to like you dont change he may already like you and if you change he could not like you anymore! You sound very pretty to me! Good Luck!

I was overweight for a while but then I just stopped eating junk foods a focused on the healthy ones and now I’m not super skinny but I feel more normal.

It is all right!!! don’t worry. Just remermber to eat healthy and get lots of exercise!!!

Losing weight isn’t that hard when you’re determined. Don’t be afraid to get out there. As long as you play it safe and slow, you won’t get an eating disorder. Losing weight takes time and if you push it, things may go really wrong. Try eating healthier foods and getting atleast an hour of activity a day. Getting into habits will make it easier. By eating healthier and becoming more active, not only will you lose weight, you will feel better about yourself and be healthier. Try going on walks with some friends or family members. If they don’t want to do it, take your dog on a nice walk! He or she will love getting some one on one time with you. It makes it a whole lot easier (and a lot more fun too!) if you have a friend doing it with you. Going on walks in the morning or after supper is the perfect time to go walking. Don’t weigh yourself on the scale a bunch. Doing that makes it harder to lose weight most of the time. Instead of getting on that scale, go outside and play with a friend! Go swimming, ride bikes, jumprope,play tag. There are so many fun things you can do that’ll keep you in shape! Make this a fun experience! Good luck! I hope I helped!

Make sure that when you are eating, you’re eating because you’re hungry, not because you’re bored and you have nothing else to do. Replace junk foods with healthier foods and make sure you get plenty of excersise. Only eat until you aren’t hungry anymore, not full. And after eating a good portiioned amount, wait 20 minutes before eating more. Waiting 20 minutes lets the food start to sink in so you know if you’re still hungry. Don’t eat anything past 8:00. Studies show that people who eat midnight or latenight snacks end up weighing more. Don’t push yourself in excersise. Do what you know you can do and gradually move up. Pushing youself can lead to problems. Good luck!

Dont worry about being overweight, cause a lot of girls are. And it doesnt matter what other people say about you (even thought it may hurt). Stand up for yourself! And dont worry, a lot of girls know how you feel (including me). So just be yourself, and be who you want to be.
