I am 16 and have been battling my weight for the past 7 years. I never thought that my weight was a problem until I started to try on prom dresses with my date. It was extremely embarrassing when I couldnt fit into the dresses I chose. I am 5’5 and weight 276. That’s almost 300 pounds! I decided that after I discovered my actual weight to do something about it. For the past two weeks I have been trying to eat healthier and smaller portions. I started to walk and work
