Hi i am Alyson i have weighed little until about fourth grade when i started to gain weight. i have played soccer my whole life! i am very athletic, sometime i take 3 hour walks with my dog but i still weigh 149 pounds. All of my friends tell me that i am not fat but i know that my doctor would tell me different. I have not been eating so much lately and i have drunk about 3 to 4 glasses of water each day and it does not work for me. I do sit around after school alot...but thats because of athletics, i have it for 45 minutes for 7th period, but what i recomend is getting to love yourself i only eat some popcorn and a water or juice for lunch ,buttttttt it does not work, all i want is to be as skinny as those other girls, the ones who get all of the hot popular guys. But what i have learned is that God made me, i am special, weight does not matter, and that no matter what anyone says i am not FAT! anyways that is a cruel word it justs picks us apart from everyone else. And anyways you can only get as skinny as your bones allow you to so its not your fault, and it could just be genes.
