    I'm impressed that you're trying to get healthy at such a young age, and that you recognize how junk food can really get in the way. Good for you! Can you ask your mom to buy you a bag of apples or baby carrots instead of donuts? Maybe if she knows an alternative before she spends money on the bad stuff, she'll remember to get healthy foods instead. Be gentle with her, because she probably just trying to make you happy, but let her know your goals. Best of luck!

    Forget about the waste it produces. But 5'9 @ 169lbs, you must be a giant going into highschool eh? Congrats to that, I was a shrimp. ;)

    Anyway, ignore the waste it produces. Eat healthy. Your testosterone (a hormone) is just about to hit it's peak, and will remain at that peak for the next 6-8 years. Your eating and exercise habits will determine whether you retain fat or burn it. Thank your mom for the treats, but perhaps ask for a fruit or mixed meat and cheese tray instead. Much healthier and delicious! Best of luck friend!
