When my tummy is flat I'm going to get my belly button pierced!

I know exactly how you feel. Everyone who is saying "you just need willpower" and "choose not to fail"- it's not as simple as that. I've been wanting to lose weight for a good few months now but haven't had the motivation to do anything that lasted more than a day or two. Now, however, I've realised that I want to lose…

It's small and petty... but making the chubby girl who was horrible to me jealous!

I agree with you here. Reading your post has made me realise that I just need to show my parents I can do it and they'll have little choice but to acquiesce. Thanks! It was also interesting to see a parent's point of view and it's made me less angry. So again, thanks!

I have problems with my parents too- you're not alone. Mine are also the type that you really can't talk to about deeper issues and just scowl when you eat chocolate, so I know talking it out isn't always an option. I am so sorry that they said they were embarrassed for you- they should realise that your weight is about…

I don't know much about relationships but I do know that when you love someone, you'll stick by them no matter what they look like. If he really loved you he wouldn't care about your body; he might encourage you to lose weight but the fact that he's said it might prevent him from committing to you is terrible- what if you…
