I Wanna Get Fit

Overweight Teen Girl

By: alynnschmidt281
Written on October 23rd, 2011
I'm 16, turning 17 in April, and I weigh 237 pounds. Its hard being an overweight teen, I have so many confidence issues with my weight. I have never had a boyfriend, never even been kissed, which really hurts my confidence. I'm tired of being this way and I want to be healthier and skinnier. Please help me through this journey, its hard because Im a student, and im lazy.

    If only I lived near you, despite my stats, I'm actually 17, I wish I knew you, to prove that you're beautiful, to be yours, to be..that boyfriend. You don't know me, and I don't know you, but you are beautiful, stay the way you are. Don't lose, dont gain, don't act, be yourself. Your amazing. Go out there now. And look at how much better you are than them. Go, be you, your beautiful

    You should not think like that, u have many other quality a guy will want you for. But i will not say you to reduce weight and get slim so that some guy will like you. If a person accept the way you are he is accepting you. But as a fitness instructor, i will say that you should reduce weight to get healthy, skinnier is not healthy, slim is not healthy but a healthier is slim and beautiful, being over weight have many health complication, staying healthy add many good things to your personality and it increases your confidence, your mind sharpness, you look beautiful only you need is getting in shape if you want i can be your fitness buddy and will guide you but don't loose hope, get your mind prepared for it

    I'm in the same boat. Confidence is not my strong point. :/

    You have to find things that motivate you. I've recently lost 24 lbs in 10 weeks and 31.5 inches off of my body. Go to you youtube and search for my channel "snazzy4razzy" and watch my latest video!

    There is no shame in being larger. I happen to love big women, skinny girls are just not appealing to me. I actually wish that my girlfriend would gain more weight. She is already chubby but I want her fat! I would love it if she was at your current weight.



    Anyways, there are a ton of men out there that love their ladies large. It's just hard for everyone to come out of the closet and say it, especially at an early age when constant judgement is all around you (high school). In fact, I am just starting to open up ad show my real interests in women. So don't be ashamed that you are a big girl, be proud!! Accept your body for what it is and flaunt what you got. One day some of these boy will come out and express their true feelings toward you. I bet there are a few guys that have their eyes on you already and are just to shy to confront you.,you gotta be proud and love yourself before someone can love you back.



    So don't worry about such silly matters, life unfolds as it should. Some people just blossom a bit later. Lord knows I did.



    Best of luck,

    Brian
