I'm sixteen, 5'6'', and I weigh 170 lbs. For the past two years I was able to maintain a weight of 155, which was still not my ideal weight. When school ended in May, I gained 10 pounds. I was able to lose a few pounds in July, but (shocker shocker) gained it back. I went on vacation for a week at the end of August and gained another 6 pounds. Now I'm finding, more than ever, that whenever I have the time to exercise, I am simply too damned exhausted to do more than climb into bed. Yikes, talk about a major problem area. I have to overcome this weighty obstacle for good. (no pun intended . . . i think)

I don't have a problem eating good food. I only drink water, about a liter and a half a day. I refuse to drink pop. My mom calls me a rabbit because I love to eat lettuce (iceburg i think, which is mostly water ain't it?) with bread, as a sandwich (lots and lots of lettuce). yum! lol. I like to eat carrots, the really big ones. I love granny smith apples, strawberries, raspberries, bananas, and any other fruit I can get my hands on. Ask my friends, I'm a little OCD about my health (or at least, what I eat). Then again, ask my mom if I'll eat a blizzard or some such, and she'll tell you, "Put it in front of her now, and she'll eat it, but she'll hate you for it later." However, there's hope for me yet, because I'm getting much better at saying no to seconds, cheesecake, and other such nasties.
