A woman’s mind is full of secrets; a woman’s body is one of them. Everywhere I look is something telling me to lose weight, whether it is a magazine, a clothing label or even just the tyre around my stomach, I’m a walking dieting failure. At the age of 10 I had a pair of jeans that fit me like a glove I loved them so much and wore them every weekend, I remember thinking I’m fat when these jeans don’t fit me anymore. I was 10 of course they won’t fit me 5 years down the line. But I wish they did. I love food, that’s my fall back. I look around at other people and wish I had their stomach or their body in general. I’m no loner, I’ve got an amazing set of friends and a great boyfriend and I know they will always be there for me, fat or thin. But I’ve never

been thin, I was a chubby child and now well it’s gone downhill since. I’ve tried to eat less, and exercise more I went running a bit last summer, but no luck. This is my last ditch chance to lose weight, a diary of what I do, it won’t be all food and exercise some fun too basically to see where the fat teens of today are going wrong. An experiment if you want. Let me fill you in on my situation, I’m 15 years old and I’m 11 stone 4 pounds, I’m classed as overweight and one mark off obese. I’m only 5 foot 2. Read my diary and help me and maybe yourself, we might be the same, have the same problems, the same hopes, of a thin, attractive body. Please enlighten me on programs that have worked on you or others.
